This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Diane Freed is exceptional.

Ms Freed represented me in a divorce case involving children and a property settlement. Ms Freed gave me the expert legal representation I needed in a very difficult case, and the support I needed during a difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Diane Freed to a close friend and I will use ...her again if needed. As a male, I was very worried about being treated fairly by the court system. Diane Freed proved to be exceptional and I am very pleased with the outcome. Richard

Divorce

I hired Diane to handle my divorce and she did a terrific job. She stayed on top of everything, was quick to respond and explained everything every step of the way. I also hired Diane for post divorce related work.

Exceptional Representation - Highly Recommend

I was fortunate enough to find Diane through a referral when my prior attorney on my divorce case was not working out. Diane is an assertive and extremely experienced lawyer that represented me on a very complex divorce case due to other interacting cases. I quickly came to trust Diane and apprecia...ted her transparency in communication, expedient response times, exceptional guidance and her compassion for my situation. I highly recommend Diane and am so thankful I retained her when I did, as it made a significant difference in the outcome of my case. I never doubted for an instant that Diane was representing me and my situation to the fullest even when I was not present for a conversation. If you need a financially-oriented divorce attorney operating at the highest standard of excellence, Diane is the person.

You cannot go wrong with Diane Freed

I had the good fortune to hire Diane Freed to represent me in my very difficult divorce case after my original attorney withdrew right before depositions. Diane came up to speed within a week, handled the deposition like a true pro and was able to facilitate a settlement where there hadn't been a sn...owball's chance for nearly a year. I didn't realize what poor representation I'd previously had until Diane came along and showed me how to do it right. Diane is intelligent, very experienced and well-respected. Her staff is excellent and professional. I hope I never need their services again but I would not hesitate to have them represent me if I do. I highly recommend Diane Freed -- She is worth every penny!

Family lawyer | Apr 26

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Diane Freed is intelligent, compassionate and experienced. She is among the best family law practitioners in Colorado. Diane Freed is always prepared for meetings and telephone calls with other attorneys, and is equally prepared when she goes to court. She works hard to understand and pursue her clients' reasonable goals. She has a keen sense of which positions will and will not work in court, or settlement. Though Diane Freed has excellent trial skills, she is quite eager to achieve reasonable settlements that benefit her client, as well as the other party. When possible under the facts of the case, she takes a "win-win" approach to a case, where both parties' interests and goals are met by a just and appropriate resolution. Diane has the capacity to understand quite sophisticated business situations, and is equally sensitive to very difficult children's issues. Diane Freed's collegiality and wide participation in Bar Association activities benefits her clients."

"Diane Freed represents her clients with skill and humanity. She focuses on the important, and never makes a case worse. She is collaboratively trained and it shows. She is amicable and professional. Having a lawyer like Diane on the other side means we're not wasting time on trivial stuff, nor making the conflict worse. I'm happy to endorse her."
