Diane Martinez

Diane does not communicate with you despite numerous phone calls and messages. I had hired her for my divorce and I absolutely could not get ahold of her until another professional contacted her and told her they were going to report her to the bar if she didn't meet meet with me. I was to go to cour...t within two weeks and I still hadn't even met her. She wouldn't return my calls or respond to my emails. After I met with her, she essentially ignored me. I paid $2,500 to have her represent me and she didn't.

Diane assurred me should would take care of custody issue after had sole custody of my son for 10 years and got sued by grandparents once the child's father wss arrested for unpaid support. Diane was completely unprepared, absolutely no match for the other attorney, and failed to file an appeal after... the presiding judge made orders although there was not agreement by both parties. Still tied up in court 3 years later as a result of the poor manner Diane handled case initially. Could not get calls returned, did not file documents timely and kept entire retainer after first hearing and firing her to retain someone else. If your not willing to risk your money, custodial situation and rights on Diane, go somewhere else.

She helped me gain joint custody of my son. She was always on point with my case. She has always and I means always ready for whatever drama, excuses, and just plain ignorance my ex husband tried to give to delay my custody case. She is a special gem. She is more than an lawyer she's an advocate for ...the best interest of the unfortunate victim the children or child involved. If you want superb and just wonderful heart felt council she's just the best. Thank you Diane for giving me the strength when I was ready to give up. You gave me strength when I was ready to give up. She's priceless.

I hired Ms. Rivera to handle a fairly simple custody modification. She almost never returned my phone calls or e-mails and did nothing on my case. She lied about filing and having a court date. When I went to fire her, she was not in the office (which seems fairly typical for her.) I never heard from... her again and did not get any type of refund for my retainer even though she did nothing on my case. I have known a few other women who have used her and they all stated that they had the same problem. I would not recommend using Ms. Rivera.
