Professional Straight Shooter

Diana is amazing. She is straight to the point. She makes it very clear where your money is going. She is smart and definitely in control at all times. If you are looking for a lawyer who is going to dry your tears and listen to your drama look elsewhere. She is on your side enough to be straight wit...h you to let you know that she is not your counselor. I knew where I was at in my case. She made it clear what to fight for and what to dismiss. She was beyond pleasant but 100% professional at all times. When you go into court you have a precise reasonable plan which makes you look good in front of the judge. She's knows her stuff.

Absolutely Fantastic - the best!

I am so pleased to have worked with Diana. My case was extremely complex facing some challenging issues as well as a very uncooperative aggressive ex spouse. The opposing lawyer used every tactic of intimidation possible, sopeanas, accusations, depositions, never ending letters, through it all Dian...a was incredibly supportive both personally and professionally. She took the time to explain all the issues, helped to relieve anxiety I was feeling through the process, was sensitive to timing and was responsive. In court she was outstanding, sticking to the facts, asking questions in a way that were effecient, precise and allowed us to tackle all the issues in a compelling and honest way. I believe we achieved a very positive result thanks to Diana's preperation, her communication and her professionalism. She was always concious of cost and was extremely fair helping to guide me through areas that would keep the expense reasonable. I honestly cant say enough positive things about Diana and the Marquis law firm. They were absolutely amazing and I am so grateful to have had Diana as my lawyer through what the most difficult thing I have ever experienced. I highly recommend Diana to anyone seeking a fair, honest, personable, professional and highly capable lawyer.

Honest, Professional and Compassionate

You couldn't ask for a more down to earth and honest attorney. Diana was kind and made sure that I knew everything that was going on in my case. She didn't make any false promises and she kept everything in perspective. When it came to a field that she wasn't to comfortable she was up front and hones...t (rare for an attorney!) she would give a recommendation for the fields she wasn't familiar with and it ended up helping a great deal and in the end helped save us a little money too! That's the other thing, my previous attorney was very expensive and was eager to get more money every time I turned around, not Diana! She was not out to bleed me dry of my finances. She was more than fair! My only regret is that I didn't hire Diana first. Thank you Diana, I know my case wasn't easy and though it was a stalemate you represented me professionally more than what I can say for the opposing counsel. Thank you for everything.
