She TOTALLY HAD MY BACK!!!!!

I went through the classic NIGHTMARE divorce. There were so many variables that had to be discussed and then handled, and Diane was completely there for me in every step of the way. She was able to take my concerns, whether they were about my business, my retirement, parenting time, asset division,... to name just a few, and counsel me so that I could understand and also reduce the overall stress load. My ex had FIVE LAWYERS! Diane expeditiously handled each and every one. She negotiated with each of them, and at every time, had my back! This was the toughest time of my life, and thanks to Diane Wechter, I made it all the way through the maze, with her knowledgeable and caring direction.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
