I highly recommend Diana Telfer as an attorney.
Working with Diana and her assistant made a very difficult experience much easier for me. Diana took time to understand my situation and find the best solutions. Throughout the process, she communicated consistently and I never felt "out of the loop" or wondered what would be happening next. She was ...

Excellent Choice For a Family Lawyer
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...

Tough, Fair, and Professional
I was in an extremely high conflict divorce and custody battle that dragged on for 18 months. Diana was amazing to work with and I never could have settled this difficult situation without her expertise. Diana walked me through the entire process. Along the way she would tell me what my option...

Disorganized, allows other attorneys to bully her, not a strong negotiator
I hired Diana and while my divorce was finalized quickly, I had to constantly follow up with her and fix errors in her paperwork, filings, emails, etc... The only thing I was fighting for was to not pay my ex-husband alimony. Her advice and counsel was poor and I ended up paying alimony, even though...
It is always challenging when clients are unhappy after they have reached an agreement to resolve their case. In this matter, the client wanted the divorce done quickly. No statement was ever made about the other counsel getting into my head. As with all my clients, we review during mediation the pros and cons of the terms of the proposed settlement agreement including whether a better resolution can be achieved in court. In this case, the mediator was a retired judge and we heard his opinions as well based on having held hundreds of divorce trials. This client voluntarily signed the agreement. By the time, the client contacted me to modify the agreement, I had changed the focus of my practice to an out-of-court practice. Modifying alimony requires going back to court and would have been difficult under the circumstances. Sometimes legal matters take time, such as this client's estate planning documents, when there is a delay by the client in providing the necessary information to complete the documents. Regards, Diana

High conflict custody case
I reached out to Diana after already hiring an attorney that didn't seem to believe in me. I set up a consultation and met with Diana. After the first meeting she gave me hope for my future endeavors and I hired her right away. I not only was fighting 1 custody relocation battle but I was fighting 2....
