Top Notch

Any time you go through a divorce with children, its an emotional time where you need sound advice. Diane and her team provided just that. Her understanding of family court is as good as it gets. A very straight forward lawyer who will tell you how it is, what your rights are, and will not waste ...you money or time. If your going through a divorce with kids, I would strongly encourage you to call Diane and her team. You will make emotional decisions, which Diane and her team will help you make sound decisions that look toward the future not the present. She sticks to the facts of your case, the law, she doesn't take you down rabbit holes and focuses on your rights and what is obtainable by law. Most importantly, with children involved, she is looking out for them 3, 5, 10 years down the road along with what's in your best interest. Our family was blessed to have found her guidance helped me secure 50% custody of my children. Went back to court, 3 years later, Diane and her team responded the exact same way they did when I first met them. There is no one better out there. If you find yourself in a divorce situation, you owe it to yourself and your family, to consult Diane and her team.

Very good attorney. Aggressive when you need it.

I hired Diane to handle a custody issue of mine on multiple occasions, and it was the best decision I could have made regarding legal counsel. She is very good at managing expectations up front, and her staff is always professional and helpful. She was always very well prepared in court. She is very ...experienced and that definitely shows, and she is timely in responding, which is a rarity when it comes to lawyers. We once had to use a rarely used procedural device to get what we needed, and it required swift action. She had done it before and was well prepared, and the action was successful. She filed the papers on the same day I requested it and things went very smoothly. Overall, she is a great attorney and I will definitely hire her again if the need arises.

The Best in Family Law

My child custody case was the anecdotal nightmare. Five years in court, legal fees approaching six figures, lawyers on both sides fanning vitriolic winds of hate, prompting more and more hearings and charging me more and more money. With no final court date in site, I fired my counsel and began sho...pping for another. I found legions of attorneys anxious to take up where the last one left off, with their eyes focused on the dollars they could bill out. Then I met Diane Wanger. Words cannot describe my gratitude for the services she provided. Diane took the time to research what would be best for my son, explain it to me and work towards providing him with a positive future rather than one shrouded in past parental animosities. Because of her refusal to play games with opposing counsel and her determination to do what was best for the child, the matter was settled amicably within a few months. I attribute Diane much of the credit for my son being able to achieve so many of his dreams, unfettered by the discord that surely haunted him the five years before Diane came into our lives. I know a lot of attorneys. I do not like most of them. And of the few I do like personally, I still can not understand how they can sleep at night. Except for Diane Wanger. Diane is different. With her morals and ethics, I am certain Diane sleeps like a baby every night. And I would walk through the fires of hell for Diane, so that she may remain here on this earth and do the good deeds that are her destiny.
