A Cubic Zirconia

My wife and I hired Mr Diamond for a family law matter.. He is not transparent concerning his fees.. He and his assistant attempted to overcharge us until we brought it to his attention.. He was consistently late upon every meeting and court dates leaving my wife and I wondering if we were going to r...epresent ourselves.. He was over an hour late meeting my wife on the intitial consultation without even letting her know he was running late.. Each time he was late in court he looked like he'd been up all night.. I would not recommend this attorney.. It's all about his time not others...

Nope.

James Diamond was hired because he has a law degree, however his knowledge of the law falters greatly. He will absolutely take your money. Will he then in return do the work that money was paid to do? Nope. He also CANNOT handle being told that he is not measuring up to the level of professionalism h...e was hired for. These clowns will attempt to take advantage of you. Stay vigilant and don't accept GASLIGHTING from anyone, especially your own employees.

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.

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

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.
