Diana Marie Baskind

My late father practiced law in the Valley for 30 years. As a consequence, I knew better than not to seek counsel to represent me in a Modification of Child Custody/Parenting Time and Child Support matter, sought by my ex-husband. Fortunately, I found Diana Baskind - after interviewing several lawye...rs. At the outset, I found Diana to be up-front, not boastful or promising things I wanted to hear. Instead, Diana's approach was to confirm how the Courts usually view my particular circumstances under the law -- eight years post-divorce and two children with disabilities. At trial, I found Diana to be very prepared and professional. It was clear during trial that the Court favored her pre-trial work including pleadings, demeanor, preparedness and the handling of testimony given by my ex-husband and myself. Prior to trial, Diana worked with me to confirm my testimony, voluminous facts, medical records and exhibits. Needless to say, we were victorious at trial and without Diana this would not have been possible. Without any reluctance, I highly recommend Diana for anyone seeking legal representation in family law. I applaud Diana for listening endlessly to my concerns and stories relating to my ex-husband. She hand-held me through the emotional year long process with patience and friendship.

I hired Diana to help me get my Child Custody and Support modified. I did not hire a lawyer my first time around and learned a HUGE lesson!!! Diana was upfront and set realistic expectations and didn't over-promise. She told me what I could do on my own (initial mediation where a lawyer is not allowe...d anyways) and when it would be best to bring her on. This saved me money by waiting until after mediation to see if that would work first; which it didn't. Diana kept me up to speed on the case and what I needed to provide her. We met to discuss court before we entered so I was fully prepared on what to expect. She is very professional and knows her stuff! A big thank you to Diana!!!!
