Posted by Ashley | July 06, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I could never thank Mrs. Clark enough for what she did for my daughter and I!!

I had an amazing experience with Mrs.Clark!! She always replied to my emails promptly, even when she was out of the country! She reunited me back with my daughter for full custody and more child-support!!! She’s a shark in a good way!! Definitely always want her on my side!!! I can never thank her en...ough for what she did for me and my daughter!!

Posted by Traci | July 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Amicable divorce? Ha!

Divorce is a very unfortunate and painful process for anyone to endure. I filed for divorce expecting an amicable split, but when my ex changed his mind and decided not to go out peacefully, Diane was there to rescue me. Ms Clark was with me every step of the way, leading me through the labyrinth of ...forms and court proceedings, doing an excellent job of successfully guiding me through the treacherous waters of mediation (which scared the crap out of me) and divorce. Midway through divorce proceedings, I had some very scary medical issues arise which threw a wrench into the system, but Diane knew just what to do to handle the situation. She kept a positive attitude and did an amazing job of talking through things logically when all I could focus on was the emotions. I never doubted that she was doing everything she could to help me. I made a wise decision to hire Diane to handle my proceedings in the divorce process and I couldn't be more pleased with my selection. Although the whole ordeal made me very nervous, I am confident that I chose the right person to represent me. I highly recommend Diane Clark to anyone who must go down this stressful path.

Disappointed....

I was referred to Diane Clark's office and judging by her website, reviews, and experience I thought I was going to have someone who would hear me out and give me solid guidance for my situation....THAT DID NOT HAPPEN! Instead, I was asked to change my appointment 3 times only to end up with keeping ...the original time....when I did show up to my appointment (on time) I was greeted with: liquid in the seat she asked me to sit in; insults regarding my requests; condescending remarks regarding my questions; and all while interrupting me to the point I felt compelled to walk out. Maybe she was having a bad day and ended up taking it out on me, or maybe that is just the way she acts towards new clients.. The short of it is...before I could even get to the root of my situation she had been so disrespectful to me (the potential client) I could not fathom having her consult/represent me even in the slightest of ways. Hopefully this message will save someone else from waisting their time with her. #worstexperienceever

I am sorry that you did not have a positive experience. Unfortunately sometimes court hearings are set without much notice, which can cause our calendar to change. Although we know it can be disappointing when appointments are changed, we believe it is even worse to have to wait a long time in a waiting room. We pride ourselves on providing the best possible service for all of our clients. We welcome the opportunity to make this right and assist you in resolving whatever legal issues you have.

Don't play!!

Ms. Clark was straight to the point throughout the case. I was scared of her and she was on my side!!! I went through many lawyers before her and she did what she said she would do!!! I would encourage anyone with a tough case to hire Ms. Clark. I was blessed to have her fight to get my daughter back... home with me right before Christmas!!! Thank you

I am so happy that you and your daughter were re-united for Christmas! I am sorry that I may have scared you---but I am glad that you realized the importance of the advice that I gave you. Stay in touch, and I wish you many more happy holidays.

Diane Clark is very straightforward, she does not candy coat situations just to get your money. As grand parents seeking custody of our grand child, Diane told us upfront the battle we faced. It was her experience and in depth knowledge of Texas Family Law that won our custody case for us. She was... always prepared and ready. Very personable and has the most wonderful paralegal. I can never thank you enough Diane Clark for what you have done for us. I recommend Diane to everyone.

"I endorse this lawyer. I first met Diane Clark as an OLD "baby lawyer" having gone into the legal profession as a second career. She has always been a source of information and skill. Years later, as the Juvenile Referee, I found her to be a zealous advocate for the children she represented in Juvenile and CPS cases. Now back in private practice, I continue to see her many talents as an attorney, a mediator and a friend. Always a pleasure to work with her and know I will get respect even when we are opposing each other."
