On your side
I have been a client of Diana's since the 90's. She handled my dissolution with children. It was a horrible time for my family and I. Diana was aggressive and didn't stop until my children were safe. I was awarded sole custody of my four children and this was when it was almost unheard of that the m...

Forgetful and judgemental
Diana was recommended to me by one of her associates. It was an overwhelming time so I took the advice and proceeded, though I wish I had not. My impression is that Diana either expected me to understand the process or she did not listen to what I was saying...or maybe both. She would forget thing...
We do not have "associates". Perhaps you have me confused with another attorney. Our office is a two person partnership with my husband and myself and has been since we began our firm over 20 years ago. I do not recall this fact pattern or your name. Moreover, it has never been my practice to "recommend" realtors. If there had been "rages" and "insults" a person would expect you to have fired your attorney, which, apparently, did not happen. I wish you the best and hope that your case is resolved. If this is Laura, then you should not be pretending to be your 84 year old mother to AVVO. She settled her case, which ended your ability to control her assets, but she was the client, not you and she settled the case to her advantage, not yours. I hope her health has improved and that you and your brother have moved forward and are no longer using control over your dependent parents to continue your personal war with one another.

Inaccurate and poor communicator
I feel I waisted my money. Please check all reviews before obtaining. Last minute, not prepared for court. Needed to be reminded of evidence. Doesn't respond well to direct questions, responds to a different question than asked. Was mad when I asked too many questions then became defensive.. Many mis...
Hey Lizzie, I am sorry that you had a negative experience. Often times, when parties enter into settlement agreements, but still feel emotionally upset, the ending of the case can leave one or both parties still feeling "embattled", thus making the finalization of the documents difficult. Sometimes parties want to make changes during the drafting of an agreement and are frustrated when they are unable to make substantive changes. Typically, those feelings dissipate as time goes on. I understand that you were upset that I had to withdraw from your case when you wanted to withdraw your agreement. I see that you and J are still embattled in the system, representing yourselves. That is a tough way to proceed. I hope that you and J are able to move forward and enjoy your life without the need for further court involvement someday soon and that you can get along for the sake of your beautiful daughters.

She didn't have my back
I hired Diana to represent me in my divorce. It was a complicated divorce with custody and parenting time issues as well as many marital assets to split. As I look back at my settlement and I learn more about what is normal or what other people negotiated in their divorces I realize how much better...
Hey Mary, I am sorry that your experience was so negative. Your decree was entered in 2010 so, I hope you have been able to move forward and enjoy your children. Taking a case to trial is always frustrating. L just refused to settle on the custody issues. It is always difficult to hand over control to the court. When it comes to the division of a business interest and there are competing experts, the court more often than not chooses a number in between the valuations presented. It is hard for many people to accept that the Court in Arizona does not have jurisdiction to order any parent to pay for college expenses. When parties settle their cases, they have the option of including provisions for college expenses to be covered by either or both parties. However, settlements often leave parties feeling upset as they have to "meet in the middle" and each party must live with their concessions. When there is no middle ground found, the case is forced to trial. One of the many frustrating aspects of taking a case to trial is the enormous amount of preparation. If you felt frustrated by being asked for input or documents that is unfortunate, but necessary. Family law cases are highly emotional and in cases, for example, when there are issues of addiction and abuse, those cases are even more wearing on the parties. Sometimes, assets that are upside down in value, like your houses when the market was at a low, are sold and there are even foreclosures involved. Depending on the downturn or upswing of the economy, judges tend to follow that curve when using discretion on valuating assets to be divided. You maintained your recovery during the case and that is huge. I hope that you can move forward and are no longer involved in the legal system as it always proves to be a disheartening experience. You were an inspiration as a client in the way that you handled yourself during such a difficult time.

Diana is an Outstanding Attorney, Gifted Advocate, and Extraordinary Person
When it became time to separate from my abusive husband of more than two decades, Diana was recommended to me through my therapist who was treating me for post-traumatic stress disorder related to the abuse. I could not have asked for a more exceptional legal advocate and extraordinary individual to...
