Virtual Consultation Available
Family law, divorce, custody, child support, paternity, and related matters became my primary focus of practice over 18 years ago, after I discovered the positive impact I can have on a family at one of its most difficult times.
I was first licensed in Michigan in 1982, then came to Florida in 1995 with Barnett Bank. After Barnett was sold to Bank of America, I was committed to staying in Florida and contributing to its legal community. I began working with my Senior Partner while taking Florida Bar examination in 2001. I was voted Managing Partner in July 2003, and now run the Firm's day-to-day operations after our senior partner retired in 2005.
A LAWYER’S PRAYER:
“Lord, Grant that
I may be able in Argument,
Accurate in Analysis,
Strict in Study,
Candid with Clients and
Honest with Adversaries.
Stand beside me in Court,
So that today I shall not,
In Order to win a Point,
Lose my Soul.”

My champion
Diane and her team went above and beyond in representing me in my divorce. Diane fought to minimize the impacts of my divorce on me. She brought the truth forward, deflecting chronic lies told to focus on facts, and thoroughly reviewing the details of our situation and financials to come to the best ...

Not enough stars
There aren't enough stars for Diane. I have had the pleasure of working with her for over 2 years now in a very tricky case. Never once have I felt out of the loop. She is one of the hardest working people I know with a heart of gold who quite honestly under charges me. She's brilliant too and alway...

Excellent Lawyer
Diane Paull did a great job with my family law case. I initially went to Mrs. Paull for legal help after hiring another lawyer that over charged me and did not fight for anything I wanted during the case. When Mrs. Paull took over the case she was very optimistic, reasonable, and efficient. She did a...

Best Lawyer Ever!!!!!
I am not sure where to even begin. She took my case seriously from the very 1st day I met her. I left my initial consultation feeling like I knew Diane my whole life and yet I only knew her for 1 hour. She has guided me through this whole process so well. She is always ready to help. She is very very...

Bait and Switch
Ms. Paull and her staff are very empathetic when getting you to pay the referral. Once they had me in their clutches, they were more concerned with my wife's grievances than mine. They shuffled me through the system for $5k and we are still not divorced. Got a temp order for visitation. My wife then ...
"At the time of this writing I am a 15th year practitioner and I look up to Diane as a mentor and a trusted fellow attorney whose word is as good as gold."
"Having recently resolved a family law case with Attorney Paull, I can personally attest to the fact that she is someone who is not only a pleasure to work with, but who advocates tenaciously on behalf of her clients. A decision to retain Diane as counsel is a wise decision indeed."
"I endorse this lawyer. Diane is a strong advocate. She possesses the legal knowledge and skills to obtain desired outcomes in difficult cases for her clients."
"I endorse Attorney Paull. Attorney Paull is a zealous advocate for her clients and is an asset to the legal profession. Although she was opposing counsel on a family law matter, it was nonetheless a pleasure to work with her."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is very dedicated to her clients. She is passionate about fighting for her client's rights."
