Great Lawyer

I was in need for a child family lawyer and found Jay Diamond from Diamond Law Firm. We hired Jay to help us with a custody issues. He was excellent, and was in contact with me through every step. We were so please that we hired him again to do an adoption. What a fantastic job he did to help us rea...ch our goal. If anyone needs a great lawyer. I would highly recommend Diamond Law Firm. Thank you Jay Diamond

Children’s best interest come first.

He was able to get my ex to break. Dealing with a narcissist is extremely difficult. He was able to navigate around my ex’s manipulative behavior and focus on what was on the line. My children’s best interest were in mind the whole way. At the end of the ordeal, I got my son back.

Easy Handling of a difficult case

I highly recommend Mr. Diamond. I was involved in a complicated and messy divorce with an abusive (physically and emotionally) person who continued to dodge being served. Mr. Diamond helped me get through the entire process expeditiously and seamlessly.

Jay is the best!

I was in a car accident last year, and Jay was a huge help with my tickets, and dealing with my insurance company— I would highly recommend him!

Custody

James did a wonderful job helping me through a custody case. He went out off his way to take care of things and follow up on also. Very reliable attorney

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.
