    As a former DUI prosecutor and curent DUI attorney, I have extensive experience in the area of DUI law. I also have a Peace Officer Standards Training (POST) certificate in Forensic Breath Alcohol Analysis.

    17 years, 10,000 cases

  2. Criminal defense

    A former prosecutor has the relationships, experience and insight to successfully fight for her client's rights.

    17 years, 2,000 cases

I am a former prosecutor for the City of Los Angeles.  I have handled thousands of cases involving Manslaughter, Domestic Violence, Assault, Battery, Prostitution, and Driving Under the Influence (DUI).  During part of my tenure as a prosecutor in the City of Los Angeles, I was assigned and specially trained as a DUI prosecutor.  This extensive experience makes me very knowledgeable about the science behind DUI and how to properly identify defenses to DUI.  I have significant jury trial experience with an extremely successful record.

I currently practice as a criminal defense attorney with a specialization as a DUI attorney.  I am also an active member of the National Association for DUI Defense and the California DUI Lawyers Association both of which are a select group of DUI Attorneys dedicated to the defense of drunk driving cases.  Additionally, I am a board member of the Criminal Courts Bar Association and a member of Criminal Attorneys for Criminal Justice

I worked for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office in the Organized Crime/Hate Crimes unit as well as the Auto Insurance Fraud Division.  At the DA’s office, I worked on several murder, attempted murder, hate crime, and complex fraud cases in the County of Los Angeles.

I received my Undergraduate Degree from the University of California, San Diego, and my Law Degree from Southwestern University in Los Angeles.  In both Undergraduate and Law School, I was an award-winning trial attorney, participating, and excelling in competitive trial advocacy programs.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a criminal trial attorney.  I was always told that I’m a fighter.  I didn’t know how to apply that until I started practicing criminal & DUI law.

I started Aizman Law Firm because I believe that every person accused of a crime is innocent until proven guilty.  Our country is the best in the world because of this principle.  The attorneys at Aizman Law Firm will aggressively fight your case and protect your rights.

Excellent, prompt service!
She's very compassionate and works hard for her clients. Excellent, prompt service. I am so thankful I found Aizman. Ms. Aizman got all of my charges dropped and I feel like I can breathe again. She was always available when I called or emailed, and answered all of my questions that I had throughout the case. Diana is an excellent attorney that I feel went above and beyond. Her services were highly recommended.

Hand's Down The Best
Most families don't want to be in a predicament where you find yourself needing an attorney and we absolutely found the best in all of Los Angeles. My husband works for a company where he needs his driver's license to work. Driving home from our friend's house he was pulled over for a DUI, which obviously was not how we were expecting the night to go. We didn't know what to do so we looked up many attorneys and after speaking to Diana he felt comfortable because she has so much experience. We didn't have to come to court until the very end when the case was settled which was great. My husband was very happy with the outcome of his case and I want to thank you Diana so much.

You can count on them
Aizman is an excellent lawyer, since the first time I met her. She treated me with respect and acquired my trust. She helped me sort out the legal aspects. She helped me and together with her team in the dismissal of my DUI case. They were fantastic throughout the process. They kept me well informed of what was going on, encouraged me to participate in ensuring their success, and most importantly achieved a positive outcome on my behalf.

I forever debt in you
I was involved in an accident and contacted Aizman. She was very professional, personable, and was responsive to my needs while listening to my inputs before giving me further assistance on my case. She was also driven and was willing to put forth as much effort as needed to resolve an issue. I truly felt she had my best interest at heart, and it showed during the proceedings. She went above and beyond to make sure we got what we needed to get my life back on track, and for that, I'll be forever grateful to him. I was extremely pleased with her and the result of my case.

Aizman was one of the finest lawyers that I've ever met
She is an extremely intelligent and energetic lawyer who has loads of experience in criminal defense. If your relative was being charged with a crime, you would want her/him to defend. She goes to the wall for his clients and gets the work done! I would surely recommend her, and if the circumstance occurs, I will use her again.

DUI case dismissed
It's my unfortunate day that I involved in DUI. I talked to several lawyers before hiring Aizman. Her preparation for my case was nothing short of excellent. Her great attention to detail and tenacity overwhelmed the Prosecutor. I spent less than 20 minutes in court, and every charge was dismissed, not to mention I kept my record clean. Thank you, Atty. Aizman.

Diana did a superb job in my case -She got my DUI dismissed
I hired her over any other lawyers because of his knowledge, professionalism, and confidence in me and my case. What I like the most about her is her communication - She told me straight’ from the start about my case. She did not sugar-coat things but promised me she would do all she could to help me avoid one mistake from ruining my future. She returned my phone calls timely, which was a huge relief. Kept me apprised of the progress of my case and the strategies she was considering. I was so lucky that she was able to win my DUI case. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants a chance at winning. I'm so thankful that I made the right decision at hiring them to represent me.

Diana together with her team is truly masterful in court. The arresting officer had all of his mistakes presented in court during my motion hearing! As an outcome, the government case against me collapsed and my Dui was dismissed!

She is the Best DUI Attorney
They made my experience bearable. I feel that he was extremely professional in dealing with my case. I was charged with a DUI when I encountered a roadblock. The breath test was a .20 so I asked her and her team for legal counsel. As a team, they helped me keep my driver’s license, and had the charges reduced to reckless driving and a fine. Their excellent representation of my case ended up in best outcome I could expect.

Great criminal attorney
I hired Mrs. Aizman as my attorney after a fight with my girlfriend. Police were called by a neighbor and I was arrested and charged with pc 243(e)(1). Even though the only thing that happened was pushing and loud screaming the police still brought me in for domestic battery. I spoke to a few attorneys and trusted Mrs. Aizman since she seemed to be the most confident and knowledgeable of all the attorneys I spoke too. I was very happy with the communication during my case and the results. She is an attorney that you can put your trust into to not rush through the case and take her time to get the best possible result.

Amazing person and Very Professional Lawyer!
Honestly, I'm speechless by Dian's care and professional dedication. Her reception was more than ever expected, her dedication and professional communication was more than a relief. I felt that I was genuinely talking to a caring family member not a lawyer for the first time. Thank you so much for everything!

Absolute Best DUI Attorney
Thank you Mrs. Aizman for taking my case and making sure my situation was handled with care and consideration. Communication was very consistent and direct from the start. All of the possibilities were explained to me and I never had to go to court until the end which was nice. I would recommend anyone that needs a top-notch attorney contact Mrs. Aizman. She is a shark.

Amazing DUI Defense Attorney
Diana Aizman was exactly the attorney I needed when I had some legal issues this past year! She and her staff are very professional. Every part of the legal process was so much easier with Diana there to take charge of the situation and to help me through it. At the conclusion of my case, Diana was able to have my sentence reduced to no jail which I was ecstatic about. If you are seeking the best help she is the person to go to!

Great Job In Van Nuys Court
Diana represented me for a shoplifting charge in the Van Nuys courthouse and she got the charge dismissed. I accidentally walked out of the store with something I thought I paid for and the security guards went nuts. You can see that everyone knows her in the court and she is treated really well. Thank you so much for all your help.

Life Saver
Last year, my wife and I were faced with a situation requiring a DUI lawyer after I got into a collision going home fro dinner. Thanks to a recommendation from a close friend, we were put in touch with Diana. Diana and her staff were nothing short of spectacular in answering every one of our questions and being with us every step of the way through the process. We can't thank Diana enough for all she did for us.
