Dianne Sawaya was born and raised in the great city of Denver, Colorado, which makes helping the people of Denver that much more special. She attended University of Colorado in Boulder where she was a pre-medicine student and received her Bachelor of Arts. Her pre-medicine undergraduate studies help her to understand what her personal injury clients are truly coping with. It allows her to communicate with doctors and medical professionals, as well as explain complicated medicinal issues to people. 

She first knew she wanted to be a lawyer when she read that iconic Family Circus cartoon. It says, “When I grow up, I don’t want to be a lady–I want to be a lawyer.” And that is exactly what she did!While the cartoon inspired her as a child, it was her advocacy skills and drive to help the people of Denver that led her to law school, where she received her Juris Doctor from the University of Denver College of Law. While attending law school, she also worked as a law clerk at the Denver District Sawaya’s desire to bring a more personal, compassionate approach as a Denver personal injury lawyer led her to found The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya. After all, they call it “personal injury” for a reason – you’re injured, and it’s personal.

She is so incredibly passionate about taking everything her team–attorneys, paralegals, etc.– has to offer and finding the best outcome for her clients. She truly values the trust her clients place in her and the moments when she is able to give them the relief they’ve been searching for. Her belief in personal attention and providing services tailored for each client who has been seriously injured has led her to become the most visible female personal injury lawyer in Denver. She devotes her law practice to victims of car accidents, truck accidents, those injured on the job, and those who have been harmed by the negligence or carelessness of others.

Dianne is licensed to practice law in Colorado and the District of Columbia. Dianne Sawaya has practiced law for over 30 years, and has devoted 20 of those years to achieving personal injury settlements for accident victims. She practices law in Colorado District Courts, U.S. District Courts in Colorado and Washington, D.C., and U.S. Courts of Appeals in Colorado and Washington, D.C. Dianne has also written a free legal guide, Fighting for Justice, to help fight those who have harmed you, available here:  

Her legal career has even extended to the halls of Congress and a wide range of state legislatures, and she has served as an elected representative in Washington, D.C.

Dianne consistently cheers on the Denver teams–go Broncos, Nuggets, and Avs! In general, she still loves exploring everything Denver has to offer–this is Dianne’s city. There is a great Lebanese restaurant with an unmistakable ambience that she frequents, and will eat Italian every day of the week if she can. She strives to shop and eat local, always trying to invest in the Denver community.

To relax and unwind, she’ll watch her favorite television shows–Andy of Mayberry and Anthony Bordain. Dianne couldn’t tell you how many times she’s seen her favorite films–Seabiscuit and Rocky.

Louise an current client
Dianne is still, as I write this, fighting long and hard for me to get as much as she is able to . She has a battle on her hands with "The Insurance Companies" being in Medical I am all to aware of How non- compassionate the Insurance Companies. Yet she is still in there going for as much as she is able to. I trust her experience, her knowledge and her integrity when it comes to working for me.

Personal Injury Case
I am so pleased with the service that I have received from the Sawaya law firm. Nikki Castro has been very patient, informative and keeps me posted on developments with my claim. Cheryl Kwaikoski prompted information regarding my claim that may make a difference in the outcome. Both ladies have been a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend Sawaya.

Nikki is sensational
I do not even know where to begin when it comes to giving accolades to Nikki Castro. Let’s begin with her professionalism and sense of duty. She is actually cheerful and begins the call with an attitude of service. She is charming yet succinct and thorough. She listens but also controls the conversation with a series of strategic open and/or close ended questions. Nikki can simply listen for understanding and then act upon that understanding in a sincere and comforting way. I believe that Nikki truly sees clients as more than a part of doing a job, but also as an individual who may need special care. Through her actions such as listening, explaining and showing empathy, she clearly understands the impact of trauma and an accident on the person she is dealing with that time. I feel that I am an individual with feelings, not just another case. She is relatable but more importantly, she is a fabulous representation for a law firm.

Amazing
This was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Very well at communicating and are very professional. I felt so welcome every time I came in. Brandon Slagle and Jason Kroll-Rosen are the best and did amazing. They worked hard for me, keeping me informed every step. They got every thing I wanted for my case. It's always a nightmare going into a car accident case but they made it really easy and convenient for me. I will recommend them to everyone and will be back if I need anything like this again. I would also like to say I was declined by 1 firm and the 2nd firm was horrible with communication. One of my doctors tried for 2 weeks to get a hold of the 2nd firm but never got a hold of them. I was recommended by this doctor to Dianne and everyone was amazing!!!!!

Kind, caring, and result oriented
My accident was in 2012 and Dianne came highly recommended. I never had any serious injury before but thankfully Dianne and her team walked me through the process and helped get my life back on track. I may never be at 100% again but Dianne and her team did everything they could to get me as close to it as possible with all my medical bills paid & settlement to help make up for the pain & suffering I have had to endure. I can't say enough wonderful things about Dianne and her staff. I felt crazy because no one understood my pain or what I was going through - but Dianne and her team did. I felt safe and in good hands and this was the most important thing to me since being in a car made me feel very insecure. I honestly do not know what I would have done without Dianne in my corner. Thank you, Dianne, for all the wonderful things you have done for me.

Excellent review
The insurance didn't want to pay me anything, but Dianne Sawaya was able to get the insurance to pay all my medical bills related to the case. I am relieved for the pressure that was taking off me financially, and recommend her to anyone who is having a hard time to get the insurance to pay.
