Diane Marilyn Sternlieb

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.

I can not say enough wonderful things about this office! When my husband and I split i was terrified of losing my son. I had tried going uncontested, but my ex would not sign so we had to go to mediation. I was so scared but Heather, Dee, and Jessie were/are AMAZING! i walked out of mediation with a ...weight lifted off my shoulders. If you are looking for an honest, hardworking, and compassionate lawyer, please hire Diane Sternlieb! Her and her staff worked hard for my son and I and i could never thank them enough.

Diane absolutely saved my two little boys lives. She went up against a complete monster in court and she DEFEATED him! She saved us from a lifetime of domestic violence. She brought to light his true being and motives for filing legitimation. With a very professional attitude she successfully stoppe...d a very dangerous man. She did this with care in her heart for whats right. I've never met a more compassionate attorney. The look in her eyes when she promised to protect us was a look of pure love. In the courtroom her and her amazing paralegal Heather really stuck it to him. They are an amazing team! When we won it was almost unreal, it was really over. After being a victim of domestic violence that outcome was more than a verdict, it was my life back. He will no longer hurt us all because of Diane and Heather. How can you ever repay someone for that?? I love them both with all my heart and owe my life to them! So with that said if you want a real attorney that actually cares about you then you have found her, and her name is Diane Sternlieb!

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.

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!
