Diane L Kaiser

Yes. A third rate divorce lawyer can do great damage to your case… I can honestly say that Diane Kaiser is THE worst lawyer I’ve ever dealt with. I came to her, crying, asking for her help with a very difficult custody situation with my ex withholding parenting time for 2 years with my autistic ch...ild and instead of helping me, she took advantage of me, adding even more stress to my life. I think the worst part was, when I emailed her, it had been weeks, I was expecting to hear the details of my custody case settlement, hadn’t heard anything, then found out Diane had emailed my private legal documents to an unknown email address! She admitted she did this, then refused to contact this unknown person to destroy the documents, you know, how lawyers have a DUTY to protect your privacy? Nope. She wouldn’t do it. 2. In addition to all this other mess, after I hadn’t heard anything back on my custody case and had the audacity to ask, hey what happened? I get an ALL CAPS verbally abusive email from her. Talk about lack of respect for your client. This was par for the the course from the beginning, being disrespected and then even blamed for HER mistakes. She never took accountability for any of her mistakes, nor did she refund any money for billing countless hours for reading documents, then bailing on my financial case. How is this ok? Who’s working for who here? 3. Prior to that, Diane and her decades-long employed paralegal, were not up to par on technology, Dropbox. I had to coach her paralegal to help set it up for me. (I was billed for this too) I uploaded all my documents to get her up to speed on my case. Two months later, I met with her, Diane actually pretended that she had read the documents. I was suspicious and pinned her down. Turns out she hadn’t read them. She admitted to me that she hadn’t. I asked her to call her paralegal and the paralegal said she had been trying to print out an audio file? Unbelievable. She even blamed ME for not reading the documents. This was very egregious. I begrudgingly gave her a second chance, as I was potentially about a month away from going to court. Lucky for me, my case settled, due to my own diligence. Believe me, I would not have wanted to go to court with this charlatan! 4. I also hired her to handle an outstanding financial issue, she supposedly FINALLY actually read my documents a month later, she billed me for countless hours on this financial issue, but then after the custody issue settled, she announced that she was not going to do her due diligence to follow through with resolving this issue! She bailed, withdrew.
