Mrs. Smith represented us in a two-year commercial real estate transaction. The issues regarding this deal were convoluted and complex. Her patience and dedication to ensuring that we understood the process, issues, and protecting our investment was beyond what we've ever received from an attorney. She is really, really good at what she does.
Divinne represented us in a family court paternity case. She really advocated fairly for us as clients and most importantly our child (my step son). The time that she took to educate us alone was unparalleled and unprecedented given she was my husbands 3rd attorney! Needless to say, she is now our attorney for all matters go foward. Thank you Mrs Smith for your commitment to make things right for our family.

Corporate Counsel
Divinne represented our company in an FLSA action by a former independent contractor. She was able to use every nuance with both federal and state law to prove that we did not violate any laws. She saved our company a great amount of money and got us the results we needed in speedy time. We will definitely continue to keep her on file. Thank you Attorney Divinne.

Paternity
I contacted Divinne because of an issue I was having enrolling my son in school. I was told that because I was the Father, I could not enroll my son until I went to court and obtained a court order. I was extremely stressed and confused especially since I have had physical custody of my child since he was 2. Divinne reached out to the school board attorneys and handheld me through the legal system. She even took the time to attend a meeting with the school board attorney, myself and the pupil advisor. We were able to get my son enrolled just in time for school to begin. In the meantime, she is handling my legal paternity issue.

Business
Divinne handled my complex business case against a high profile developer. She was able to make the issues simple and understandable for the judge and jury. Ultimately, the developer settled before trial. Settlement was their only option because of Divinne's smart strategic legal tactics. Thank you for taking care of my business, Divinne.

Definitely a winner!!!
Aggressive lawyer representing employee rights. After a long battle with my former employer, we won in federal court. I would not have been able to make it through that ordeal without her. I would definitely use her again if needed.
