Diana L Telfer

Diana is professional, objective, and real. She was professional in all manners yet didn't try to downplay the emotion and human aspect of dealing with a difficult ex, demonstrating genuine empathy and an authentic concern for my and my children's' well-being. After a four year battle with my ex wife... regarding the kids schools, Diana helped get a Special Master in place that decided what was objectively best for the kids and that I am able to call on in the future.

I hired Diana a few years ago and put her on a retainer to help with family law issues pertaining to child custody. She helped me understand the law in the State of Utah and how it applied to my situation. Diana is an empathic listener who explains the law in understandable terms. She is prompt in he...r communications and always asks what the overall goal is for each call. I felt very empowered after each time I communicated with her. I'm very pleased with the outcome of my case and I highly recommend working with her!

When I set out to find an attorney to represent me in my divorce, I knew I was very interested in the collaborative process, but I knew nothing about it and if was the best route to take. It ALL felt overwhelming and scary. Minutes after my general inquiry to the Utah Association of Collaborative Pro...fessionals, Diana reached out to me with information about the collaborative process. I called her almost immediately. She was generous with her time and knowledge, helping me get clear and feel a little less anxious about the process. Needless to say, I hired her. Throughout the process, Diana listened, was responsive (which was SUPER important to me), compassionate, competent and straight forward. I felt I could trust her and knew she had my back. When things got tense she did her best to diffuse things, but when it was necessary she got tough. I would absolutely recommend the collaborative process and I would absolutely recommend hiring Diana.

I cannot imagine what would have been the outcome if I didn't have Diana Telfer's counsel and protection. She represented me through an eight year high conflict custody dispute with such professionalism and an ability to anticipate future issues, therefore nipping them in the bud before they material...ized. I am forever grateful for the kindness she extended to me and the thoughtful advice she shared that reached beyond custody matters. Mrs. Telfer has had a tremendous impact on mine and my daughters life. I know we wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for her positive influence.

Diana claims to have her clients best interest in mind. She will lead you to believe that your case is high conflict so that she can create the most billable hours. She gives speeches at legal conventions about dragging cases out for 18 months to make the most money. She does not care if she wins or ...loses. She does not care about her clients or their children. She only cares about money. Look into the reason she parted ways with her most recent employer Clyde, Snow, & Sessions before you hire her. She recently handled a case for them and in the previously mentioned speech she mentioned: “We may not have won the case, but our firm made a lot of money” Is this the kind of attorney you want defending you?
