Great Lawyer

I used Diana in the past & now recently have had another consultation with her. She is very determined to fight for you. As a single mother it's very stressful & Diana does a great job as putting you at ease & putting the other party in a corner. She knows the law & doesn't back down. I'm very thankf...ul for her & her help.

This is your Lawyer.....

Let’s face it...... Divorce Attorneys are not your Momma or your Poppa. I was greeted and led into Diana's office sat down and offered something to drink. Just then, this little Firecracker walks in and "WOW". Her first words to me were "I'm The Wolf! (Pulp Fiction ref. The Fixer) “What can I do for ...you".... SOLD.... Diana is and has been a consummate professional as well as a very studied and prepared individual. Diana has been my Savior through this horrible time in my life. I couldn’t be happier with the results (considering). Want to get your issues resolve? Diana and her Team of professionals are your team to get the job done. Thank you Diana and Team…..

Two families, 5 stars!

Diana has not only represented me but my fiancés case. My case was high conflict and 3 years of continual litigation. While some may go “OMG 3 years??? Be done now!” It isn’t how family court works. Diana got me the exact things I wanted and needed. And mostly protected and stood up for my son ...throughout it all. My fiancé used her to modify as well, which ended up being high conflict but a couple short months later he too got what he asked for and more. Diana is excellent at what she does, and I trust no one else but her. She is honest and up front and knows the court inside and out. She has represented a handful of friends of mine as well. I only refer people to her. Don’t believe the negative reviews.

Terrible Lawyer. Don’t waste your money.

Terrible lawyer. Makes a ton of promises after collecting a $6500 retainer. Told me I was guaranteed 50/50 and that my kids mom would be paying me child support. Did not get 50/50 and I am still paying child support. Don’t waste your money and find a better attorney.

Beware of the Negative Reviews!

Please consider why Diana might get ANY bad reviews! In case you can't figure it out, being really good at family law means that you will inevitably piss the other half of the equation off. And, since matters of the family are so emotional and near to the heart, there is going to be backlash. In f...act, I'd be willing to predict that many of the bad reviews are from women who have lost to her in court... "hell hath no fury than a women scorned". Diana is an amazing lawyer who doesn't just seek to represent anyone for the sake of money. In fact, I have come to realize that while she does have a great number of wealthy clients, she values all of her clients the same. In fact, I would venture to say that since she has such a heart for matters of the family, and all things wholesome and true, she doesn't care to look at the $ behind each scenario. Instead, I believe she takes on cases that have the heart of morality; what's best for the family/children, most. And, this was certainly true with my case. I will keep it short in stating that after 18 years of what most thought to be a stellar marriage, mental illness crept in and created an absolute monster in my ex. wife. To exasperate the situation, she was/is in complete denial of the massive wake that she is leaving behind her. And, as such, she continually ratcheted up the attacks on me, my kids, my extended family, and our closest friends… I am talking dirty, unrivaled, conniving attempts to sabotage, demean, slander, demoralize, and emotionally exhaust anything that is good. In all the chaos and uncertainty, Diana was there. Yes, she was there for the family court process, the hearing, the litigation, and the filings, etc.; but, unlike most other lawyers, she was also there ethically and morally. She was not only capable in the matters of a nasty divorce that one cannot prepare for and that are unseen, but she was extraordinary in being able to assist in communicating these things to her client so that I could mentally, emotionally, and physically prepare for what was to come. Hearing how the process will transpire, what to expect, and even predicting what a crazy spouse will likely try next - these are the things that aid in Diana's invaluable resource as a family law lawyer. I cannot speak highly enough of the women, lawyer, communicator, and defender of morality/justice that Diana is, and I would recommend her to any of my closest friends and relatives. Thank you for all that you do/did Diana!
