Dianne A. Van Voorhees

Dianne is a exceptional lawyer. After many sleepless nights of wondering how my two boys were doing in a different state. She fought for me tooth and nail against all odds and came out victorious and brought my boys back to the state where they were born and to their father who loves them unconditi...onally. We as a family are soooo grateful for/to her. I can honestly say that she is a very special person and words can't express my gratitude

Dianne was referred to me through Legal Shield, a service offered through my employment to help me with my Child Support Modification initiated by my ex-wife. We established a client-attorney relationship after a short phone consult in late December 2023. There were some technical difficulties subm...itting my retainer payment of $3,500 online into her preferred MyCase Client Portal. I ended up paying her first invoice of $1,423 by credit card for services she had already completed. Shortly after that transaction was paid, my inital retainer payment of $3,500 was finally withdrawn from my checking account. I figured I might as well keep it there since my case was still open. Dianne ghosted me days before a scheduled telephone pretrial hearing with the Courts. My repeated calls, texts, and messages were unreturned until the day before the meeting! I was so stressed and panicked thinking that I am no longer represented. Fortunately, we were able to settle my case prior to our court appearance. But the opposing counsel also had difficulties getting a response from Dianne near the agreed deadline. We were able to eventually finalize and signed everything through the Courts on February 29, 2024. Dianne has now ghosted me again after numerous requests to have her send me the final invoice for her services and still has my $3,500 retainer captive for nearly 2 months!! I'm not sure what is going on now. I see multiple 5 star reviews early on but this is not my encounter with her recently.

Dianne is very experienced and knowledgeable. I found her to be extremely compassionate during a time that I needed support, and she understood that there was a human in the equation from the start. I interviewed several attorneys and I found that Dianne was the most relatable, intuitive listener in ...the interview process. She answered my many questions about legal processes and documents, helping me understand the construct of what I was going through. I was more confident with her on my team, and while I believe no one wins in divorce, I think she helped me wrap my head around my own situation and take control of my outcome.

Firstly thank you so very much Dianne for your exceptional ability to not only be an amazing lawyer but an even better friend! Honestly I can’t imagine enduring for what felt like an eternity and the end of the world (At the time) with any other lawyer. For anyone reading this trust me there’s honest...ly no need to look any further. I highly doubt that you’ll find any one as passionate and caring as Dianne, thank you once again!

Dianne came into my case post-decree and helped tremendously with a child support matter in which I suspected the other party wasn't disclosing their income accurately. It was a complex motion to respond to. Dianne handled it with assertive grace, leading to resolution in mediation and without the ju...dge needing to make a ruling. A handful of other motions or issues have arisen in my case over the past couple of years, and Dianne has consistently managed to put the fires out while minimizing the impact to both parties. She has helped turn my case from high-conflict to relatively cooperative and stable - something I didn't think was ever going to happen. Overall, Dianne has advocated for me in a way my previous attorneys weren't able to. She is highly knowledgeable of the law but helps me understand legal concepts in plain English. She acts with integrity, and I've always felt that she cares about me as her client and as a person. I highly recommend Dianne.
