Outstanding lady

Diane is an incredible lawyer, Who helped me through one of the longest, dragged out, nasty, terrible divorces a person should have to endure. Not only did she stand by me for years and finally got it finished she became a wonderful true friend. Best divorce gift ever.

An exceptional attorney and a good person.

Being an attorney myself, I was immediately able to recognize Ms. Huntsman's skill and professionalism. I was delighted to find that she is also a zealous advocate in court. Because of Diana Huntsman, I was able to obtain visitation with my son in the face of very difficult odds. I am so thankful tha...t I had her on my side.

Excellent Attorney

Our case went from simple to very frustrating, worrisome, and complicated. Diana worked tirelessly to help find a solution, to assure the well being and best situation for our family. She found the proverbial needle in the haystack that eventually led to the outcome that saved my son from having hi...s life turned upside down. It was a long process, but worth it in very way!! I'm proud to call her my attorney and friend!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
