Diane Marilyn Sternlieb

I met Diane after candid "hellos" at the courthouse, after witnessing her legal prowess in the courtroom. You see, I had never seen the inside of a courtroom in my life (unless it was on t.v.) until my ex-wife and her new husband began to alienate me from my daughter and undermine my rights and role ...as her father. I had hired a very well-known attorney, who was also a respected life-long friend, and he introduced me to Dee. Many a day I sat in the corner of a petrified oak courtroom pew just waiting my turn to be heard. During these times I was able to observe Dee in action as a very passionate and detailed advocate for her clients. Because my attorney was spending so much time with my case, he later recommended Dee to me. So, I personally contacted Dee's office for a consultation. I was her last appointment of the day, but Jessie worked me in and treated me like family as soon as I walked in the door. Dee addressed me and my concerns with sincere and honest dialog and spent extra time with me asking me detailed questions and taking notes. Since that day, Dee has been by my side in the courtroom and in life ever since -- and she believes in me and my cause. Dee has inspired me to embrace my rights as a father and she has empowered me to preserve those same rights as I unwaveringly protect the innocence of my daughter. Dee is an exceptional attorney, person, mother and friend. Success always leaves clues. So, if you're serious about standing up for what's right, and want a consecrated and devoted attorney to partner with you, I suggest you call Jessie and meet Dee for a consultation. I am so glad that I did.

Dee answered the prayers of my husband and I. Our children were put into the temporary custody of a family member because of our substance abuse. After doing rehab, getting clean, putting our lives back together we attempted to regain custody. We were denied custody after going before a judge becaus...e to our shock, the temporary guardian had hired a local Carrollton lawyer to fight us getting the babies back. Even after going to mediation, taking parenting classes, relentless and tons of hair follicle drug tests, etc., we were being bulldozed and denied custody. We had even had a consultation with a different lawyer, before finding Diane, that immediately heard the details of our "story" and quickly told us that we were going to be fighting a very hard battle because "only 3% of parents with substance abuse every get their children back". After feeling like we were constantly being defeated, we met with Dee and she actually LISTENED to our cries and gave us hope! Day 1, she promised that she would get us our babies back....and she never gave up. She made our case personal and she fought as if these were her kids. If you are in search of a lawyer who is honest, sincere, dedicated and "knows her stuff", then there is no need to "shop around". I will forever be in debt to Dee and Jesse for being there and getting my family back together when we had always been told that it couldn't happen.

Diane was absolutely amazing in my modification to child support!!!! She fought her and refused to let me settle for less than I was entitled to. She was honest throughout my entire case and kept me informed about what my case. If you are looking for an attorney look no further you have found the bes...t of the best and she will fight hard on your behalf!!!!!!!

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!
