Diane Cherry

After 10 years of an abusive relationship with a narcissist I was ready to take my life back.The idea of divorce was so overwhelming to me it was hard to process where to even begin.This is where Diane and her team of superheroes come in.I reached out to Diane and had an interview with her.One of the... things that immediately grabbed my attention was that unlike other lawyers I had chatted with, she immediately saw the emotional side of things and seemed to understand that this was an incredibly hard choice for me.I was not taking my divorce lightly and neither was she.At this point, I was still hoping it might be possible to work through things, but I also was realistic that it was a long shot.Diane did not push me in any direction.She is a rare breed of lawyer that understands the emotions and yet can step back and advice that was in my best interest.In a divorce attorney this skill is invaluable.You're so emotional you need that attorney that can see why your emotional and deliver information and suggestions to you in a way that you can digest and understand what is emotional and what is in your future interest.My first call with Diane, she gave me some simple steps to get myself in a good place, so that if I did in fact choose to file for divorce, I would be in a position of truly understanding our household financial situation.She advised me on how to keep myself and my daughter safe.She also gave me contact information for a few other professionals that might assist me in my divorce.Three months later the choice was made, and I hired Diane and her team to represent me.Diane prepared me mentally, financially and emotionally for the road that lay ahead.She made it clear that my husband would more than likely play right out of the narcissist divorce play book.He would drag all skeletons out of the closet, make up things, try to disgrace me in the face of family and friends, and helped me anticipate what was headed my way and mentally prepare for this, so the tactics did not rattle me if they were employed.Boy was this good advice, I felt like I was always 10 steps ahead of my ex-husband and his lawyers through my entire divorce process, with Cherry Law on my side.My husband was extremely intimidated by Diane representing me.He immediately lawyered up as well. One of the things that impressed me most is early on, my husband’s attorney tried to have mine removed from my case based upon a conflict of interest since he had met Diane before I ever filed for divorce.I had no idea this was happening as Ms. Cherry and her team simply handled it without ever mentioning it till later in our case.This is what I hired them for!They were my shield and sword in my divorce.This allowed me to get through my days and focus on rebuilding a life and taking care of my daughter and my mental health.Some attorneys would have looked at these attempts as a way to turn a profit, however not mine.Cherry Law rolled this into the initial cost of her services and simply billed it against my retainer and kept things moving.That saved me about three weeks of sleepless nights worrying over losing my lawyer.There was a time towards the end when her team notified me of every new development as we were nearing the end and I needed to be making decisions on a daily basis to try and bring the divorce to an end.Again, rare skills set to know when to include the client and when to handle the behind-the-scenes stuff that I didn't need to lose sleep over.Often communications would not come from Ms. Cherry directly but rather her staff, specifically Tamara or Elizabeth were assigned to my case.These two women are unbelievable at their jobs.They are experienced paralegals who not only do they do an amazing job in their communications, but they also charge a lower rate for their time, thus saving me money!My divorce was finalized in a record 6 months!We never went to court, though my husband worked very hard to get us there.Thank you Mrs Cherry and Team!

Diane Cherry is no doubt the brightest and best family law attorney in Marietta and the surrounding areas. I was referred to her team by a friend who had used her previously, and she exceeded my expectations. I was so nervous to go to our first meeting as I had never needed an attorney for any purp...oses other than taxes and estate planning, but her and her team immediately put me at ease. Her knowledge of how to handle my divorce was outstanding. She is extremely prompt in returning phone calls and emails. She is beyond prepared. I would highly recommend her for any area of Family Law.

I went with Ms. Cherry in early May of this year after consulting with 4 other highly rated attorneys. I am extremely glad that I chose her because my daughter is finally living with me. We were both extremely grateful that she was willing to take our case with all of these child support and custodia...l issues. Before my daughter and I became her clients, we thought we had a very good and strong representation from a very big, powerful, and reputable law firm that was pretty well known in the area. However, after thousands of dollars and 12 months of waiting, we found ourselves very disappointed. I was on a hunt for an exceptional lawyer to move our case forward yet again. That exceptional lawyer we were looking for turned out to be Ms. Cherry. She is a superb lawyer with a superb team. Ms. Cherry and her team (Ms. McKenzie and Ms. Hutchinson) are always on top of everything. They moved our case forward at the speed of light while keeping us up to date with what’s going on and making sure we understand every step. Most importantly, they have an outstanding reputation and relationships in the law community, including the judges. After 5 and a half months with her team my daughter is not only living with me, but she is also in a new and better school district. She had finally returned to the happy and worry free kid that she used to be. I am telling you as a parent: no amount of money can buy that feeling and happiness of seeing your child light up with joy. I could also feel that Ms. Cherry was not in it for the money like many other lawyers. I am currently in a very tough financial situation, I am a recipient of SSDI, and her team knows that. They are very conscious of your financial capabilities and I am sure I was underpaying her team for the results we were getting. One thing Ms. Cherry told me that I will never forget is that I did not need a male attorney, but a good attorney, and that is so true. If you are looking for a professional, focused, knowledgeable, confident, experience, caring and friendly lawyer, Ms. Cherry is an obvious choice. And believe me when I say that because I have had my share of different attorneys. With that being said, I would like to say thank you to Ms. Cherry and her wonderful team. My daughter and I will always be grateful for everything you have done for us.

Diane and her team were always there for me. After being served and hearing what my spouse wanted, I was worried beyond belief. My worries all went away after my first meeting with Diane. Diane’s professionalism and knowledge makes you feel like you’re in good hands. Diane was able to explain the di...vorces process in a way that made it easier for me to understand. She explained each step to me and what to expect. Diane and her team were always prompt to call me back or answer an email. It did not matter how simple or obvious my questions were, Diane and team always answered in a professional and friendly manner. My divorce ended up taking almost three years as my spouse was being difficult; this did not stall Diane’s tenacity and focus on my case. From day one to almost three years later, Diane and team made me feel like I was a very important client and my case was a top priority. I was totally floored with the outcome of my divorce, it was better than I expected and I owe it all to Diane and her team.
