Adoption

Diane Sternlieb handled my divorce years ago when my son was a month old. My husband bacame mixed up in drugs & it was not healthy for my son & I to stay in the situation. Diane completely kept him from having any access to the child period. Fast forward 5 years & I remarried & my husband who had r...aised my son as his own decided he wanted to adopt him. We went to Diane again who started the process & the biological father who had never paid nor seen his son in all this time decides he now wants to come around & not allow the adoption. We were devastated, but Diane came in & saved my sons life again. It took quite a long time to go through the process of the courts, but she kept me in the loop about what was happening & any changes in the case & would calm me down each time I would call crying or upset over the situation. She worked so hard on this case & after 2 years (because of an appeal) we finally won. My son has his daddy who he has always known & our family is whole. She saved my sons life over & over these last 5 years & always had his best interest as her priority. I would (& have) recommend her to absoutely anyone. She is our families Angel & I will forever be grateful for her. There were times when I had lost all hope in the world. I was a hardened person & let nobody in. Diane & her friendship through this made me see there is still good in this world & there is hope for families who are just trying to love & raise their children in the most healthy & safe environment possible. If you want an attorney to give you 150% of their time & effort, then you must use Diane. All of her cases she takes are high priority to her & she will give each & every person who walks through her door the best that anyone could ever expect. I could keep listing all of the wonderful things she has given back to my family, but am not allowed that much space. So just go meet her once & tell her what is happening in your situation & I promise you will have everything you need taken care of & you will see for yourself how incredibly caring & amazing she really is.

Best lawyer in Carrollton!

Diane was a God-send for me! She fought like a bulldog to get me everything I needed to support my family. When my ex just ignored the divorce order Diane filed contempt on my behalf. Trust me the smirk my ex had on his face vanished quickly when she had him thrown in jail! Her staff (Heather and Jes...sie) were always compassionate and kind. They went out of their way to answer questions and get me the information I needed. Often, women are treated unjustly in the court system, Diane makes sure that every client gets the justice they deserve! I would highly recommend Diane. You will love her and her staff!

Honest and for true

You've all heard the saying "tell em what they want to here", which is exactly what I was expecting. Well, that's not what you get from Diane M. Sternlieb. You get the cold hard truth, weather you want to here it or not, but expressed with true compassion and respect for you and your situation. She e...xplained upfront exactly what I could expect. And she was right. A father fighting for custody rights is in a very difficult position. Without the knowledge and guidance of Ms. Sternlieb I would have been at the mercy of the court. Instead, I was informed and ready for every obstacle the opposition offered. And when dealing with the opposition Ms. Sternlieb was strong and steady, never wavering, and always offering advise based on what was right, not just about wining. Never having been in this situation before, I felt vulnerable and alone. Ms. Sternlieb helped me through the most difficult time of my life. Her knowledge of the law and court system raised by spirits and gave me the confidence to en dour a hard ship I would wish on no one. Ms. Sternlieb did more than just represent me, she believed in my cause. She fought for my rights with a passion. She understood my concerns, doubts and fears. And when calling to express them, she would quickly put them to rest. My best expectations were exceeded consistently throughout the ordeal. The say behind every great person is an assistant. Shannen McClain is outstanding. She was there every step of the way. Offering support and kindness, she completes the Law Offices of Diane M. Sternlieb. Her dedication, knowledge and hard work made this ordeal bearable. I could never thank her enough for the help she provided. I strongly recommend the Law Offices of Diane M. Sternlieb for the hard work and strong morals both Ms. Sternlieb and Shannen stand for . For family law needs you cant go wrong here.

Thank you!

From the minute my husband and I walked into Ms. Sternlieb's office we were treated like old friends. Shannon, the assistant was wonderful. She was very warm and understanding and seemed genuinely concerned about helping us. When we met with Ms. Sternlieb we were once again treated with genuine kindn...ess and she was extremely knowledgeable and confident. This had not been the experience I have had with other lawyers in the past, that had left a bad taste in my mouth. We were going through a difficult, out-of-the ordinary step-parent adoption case, and during the whole process, both Shannon and Ms. Sternlieb were available to me, keeping me informed and answering any questions I had...and were even available for hugs when I needed them! In court, they were both there with me, and Shannon even came over to the court house to give me encouragement and support.. and even though Ms. Sternlieb was so kind and affectionate to us, she was tough in the courtroom, which is what we needed her to be! I would and have reccommended this team to anyone. I am so grateful to both Shannon and Diane for what they did for our family. We won the case, and after it was over, we all, including Shannon and Diane, cried and hugged in the court room.

Diane did me right!

During a very difficult time in my life, I was directed to use Diane as my divorce attorney. She was thorough, fiesty and very professional. Her assistant Shannen is witty and on top of her game. She was quick to get back with me and answer any questions that I had. I would highly recommend Diane St...erlieb as your divorce attorney!
