Best Divorce Litigator in San Antonio

As a scientist going through a vitriolic divorce with a mentally ill individual, I was going through an extremely difficult time. Judge Rene Diaz and his team at Diaz Jakob LLC provided me with an absolute sense of security for my legal needs while being understanding and flexible with regards to my ...professional obligations. Judge Diaz's extensive legal acumen and experience in divorce litigation proved invaluable for my case; he and his team helped deliver an extremely favorable outcome for me, allowing me to retain custody of the child while protecting my physical and intellectual assets. Judge Diaz and his team took great care to thoroughly explain all legal nuances during every step of the process. My trust in his legal expertise remains to this day, as I routinely consult with him in regards to various legal questions. In the unfortunate event of divorce, I strongly endorse and recommend Judge Rene Diaz for legal representation.

Fabulous attorney who met all my needs and went the extra mile for my case. Judge Diaz has integrity and listens to you. He will make sure to get you what you deserve. He has excellent advice and truly cares about his clients. He gave me additional advice outside of my case. You’re not just a client ...and he makes sure you get your life back. I highly recommend this attorney and would use him again.

Hands Down best Attorney in SA!!!

I hired Judge Diaz in 2017 for my divorce. Divorcing my spouse wasn't a choice I wanted, but at the time it was the only option. Because of his support and guidance, Judge Diaz helped save my marriage and my family. I can’t describe how safe I felt in the hands of an experienced and dedicated attor...ney especially when I was most vulnerable. I know now that without him, things could of ended up a lot different for my family. I’m forever grateful for his assistance. He’s definitely one in a million. If anyone needs someone they can trust and will fight the good fight for you, then HE IS YOUR MAN!!. GOD BLESS JUDGE DIAZ!

Wow, this comment is very humbling. Many attorneys practice law because they just want to, "...make a difference", but far fewer attorneys actually achieve it or actually make a positive impact, and fewer still are informed of the difference they have made! Realizing that I may have "made a difference" in one client's life, marriage and family is amazingly rewarding and gratifying! Thank you Liliana; I will always cherish your gracious comments! O.

True professional!

I fully endorse Mr. Diaz, it is said that everything happens for a reason and that timing can work for you if you've got the right representation. In my case Mr. Diaz has proven this theory to be right. From the time of my initial consultation and through out the termination of my divorce, his pa...tience, caring attitude and ultimate attention to detail was proven to be priceless. Not only is he an excellent lawyer, what impressed me was the fact that he was also genuinely an honest and good person.

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.
