About Diana
Biography
I am a criminal defense attorney with over 25 years of experience. I am passionate about bringing justice to my clients. Through my years of practicing, I have learned that the best way to achieve the most favorable outcome for my cases is to be patient, persistent and diligent. I absolutey love my job. It gives the ability to make a positive impact in the lives of my clients.
I am a native Houstonian. I went to the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Houston Law Center for law school. I decided I wanted to be a lawyer, when I was eight years old. I absolutely feel in love with advocacy watching LA Law, as a young girl. I graduated law school at 23 and decided to go out on my own right away. I have a passion for being a criminal defense attorney. It’s nice to be able to have a career that you absolutely love. I get inspired by being to help people in need. I love representing people, when they need someone to stand up for them.

Best lawyer and hardest working
Where do I even start!? Diana is hands down the BEST lawyer in Houston. She absolutely saved me from the gates of TDC. I was facing a serious aggravated accusation while on probation, and Diana handled it like a boss. Result? ALL charges dismissed and my probation reinstated like nothing ever happene...

A Great Experience
I hired Diana to represent me and she went above and beyond. After previously hiring a lawyer for my case who would only offer me a plea deal, Diana assured me she would fight for me- she did exactly that and got my case dismissed. I absolutely recommend her as she will do everything she can for you....

Probation
My younger brother broke probation and was facing prison time. Miss Diana took his case and fought for his case, the court gave her offers for my bother and she refused them because she wanted one that I want, she communicates with her clients both in the cell and out the cell to get the best results...
