About Diane
Biography
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

Never gives up
Ever since my initial divorce, and the current struggles with my child and her father, she has never given up in her support of what's best for my child and myself. She is highly intelligent and been doing this for a long time. I wouldn't trust anyone else but Diane to take care of my family.

I highly recommend Diane and her staff. Diane is a tough as nails attorney who fought for me when I was ready to throw in the towel during an emotionally draining divorce. She was empathetic yet stern and I never doubted her ability to handle my case with professionalism.
