Posted by Elizabeth | January 12, 2015 | Child Custody

Divorce and Custody Case

I had a challenging, complex divorce and custody case. Diane provided me with accurate information about the law and the divorce process in Texas to help me make the decision that was right for my case. She was calm, knowledgeable, managed my case effectively and in a detail-focused manner, keeping ...me informed every step of the way. Diane answered my calls and text messages as soon as she could. She is a caring attorney who worked with everyone involved to find the best solution for our needs. Her high-level negotiation skills were valuable as well. I highly recommend Diane for any complex divorce and custody case.

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.
