Incredible family law attorney

Diana was absolutely incredible throughout my whole divorce and custody case. She was extremely helpful in key focuses in my case particularly with custody and was so knowledgeable. Through what was a very stressful/difficult situation, Diana really helped me to feel more at ease and confident. Each ...trial I went into, I felt so prepared as Diana was so great at communicating expectations and what the key focuses would be through the trial. She was so proactive throughout the process and the attention to detail she has is truly incredible, always going beyond my expectations every single time. I am extremely grateful to of found Diana and couldn’t have had a better outcome for my case as I was able to obtain full primary physical custody of my son as well as be granted a divorce! I can’t recommend her enough especially navigating a tricky and high conflict custody/divorce case!

Stellar Attorney

After making the difficult decision to divorce after 47 years of marriage, I am deeply grateful for the knowledge, expertise, advice and efficiency with which Diana guided me through the process. What I had anticipated might be a drawn-out emotional roller coaster was made smooth by her clear and tim...ely communications, competent handling of details, and filing of documents along the way. She is top-notch.

Excellent Attorney

Diana Schobel handled my divorce from start to finish. She handled every aspect of what issues arose and provided phenomenal legal advice commensurate with her extensive experience. She guided me through the entire process, explaining things to me (sometimes a few times). I rate her an A++. I could ...not have asked for a better attorney.

Giving Lawyers a good name :)

We contracted with Diana M Schobel to assist with a DLLR - Work Place Fraud audit. Ms Schobel was able to help us resolve this matter quickly, at minimal expense. She was efficient, professional, and very personable. Ms. Schobel was able to keep up informed as to the status of our case without res...orting to excessive billing. We were very happy with her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her firm.
