Super hero disguised as a lawyer

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!

Excellent Lawyer

In my 35 years in the insurance business running several major distribution systems for major carriers she is one of the best lawyers I've encountered. Highly recommend her especially in regards to family and divorce matters.

Excellent Family Lawyer

Diane Cherry is an excellent attorney. She guided me through the legal process with a direct, but kind approach. She comes extremely prepared and provides direction on how you can cut down on your costs, which is very different from other lawyers. She is very responsive to any and all needs. I hi...ghly recommend her for any area of family law.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

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.

The Cherry Law Firm is the BEST!!!

The Cherry Law Firm is the BEST!!! After interviewing several family law attorneys to handle my divorce and child custody case, I came across The Cherry Law Firm. I called their office to set up a consultation meeting with Diane Cherry, and was able to speak directly to Diane over the phone. Afte...r explaining my situation to her, she gave me some suggestions on things I needed to start doing right away to help my case. From our phone conversation, I could tell that she was exactly the type of attorney that I needed to have my back, so I met with her for a consultation and hired The Cherry Law Firm on the spot. Diane wasn’t pushy and I could tell that she wasn’t just in this for the money. She genuinely cares! She is a very competent, assertive, and compassionate woman. My case has been going on since March of this year, and Diane has been there to reassure me the whole time. My ex-spouse was dead set on getting full custody of our children, but Diane worked diligently to get them to consider joint custody, and agree to mediation. I came away from mediation with primary custody and a good settlement, thanks to Diane! I would HIGHLY recommend calling Diane Cherry for a consultation, and you will know exactly what I mean! You won’t be disappointed! I couldn’t be more pleased with the choice I made in hiring The Cherry Law Firm!
