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.

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.

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!!!!!!!

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.
