My practice is focused on helping children and families. Whether it is an adoption, guardianship, conservatorship, custody, visitation or other matter, I can offer a calm, sensible and reassuring voice to families in crisis. I am an experienced attorney, having handled a wide variety of cases throughout California. (Please see the Cases, Client Reviews, and Endorsements sections on my Profile page.) I am also an Adjunct Professor at UC Irvine School of Law and work with law students interested in public interest careers. Prior to starting my practice, I was the Interim Pro Bono Director and Lead Attorney for the Public Law Center (PLC) and worked for legal aid organizations, including Legal Advocates for Children & Youth (LACY). I graduated from UC Berkeley (with Bachelors degrees in Social Welfare and Economics) and UC Hastings College of Law. I also speak Vietnamese and served for many years on the Board of Directors of the Vietnamese American Bar Association of Southern California (VABASC). I've also volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected children and as a pro bono attorney.

Highly recommend!

Working with Attorney Diamond Tran has been a wonderful experience. Throughout the entire process of our case she was always in communication and explained step by step everything we needed to know. She is very kind, understanding and professional. Our legal guardianship process was granted in 6 months as promised. We have referred her to family and friends and will continue to do so. We waited years to finally agree to work with an attorney and we are so glad we found her. Thank you!!

Dedicated attorney.

In our journey to find a lawyer for our family case, we found Mrs Diamond's office through Regional Center of Orange County. We were impressed by her professional demeanor to handle our case with such a compassionate and thoughtful care. From the beginning to the end, her experience and diligence were first and foremost attributes. We are recommending her office to family and friends.

Diamond was very knowledgeable and helped us with establishing guardianship for our son. It’s a complicated process and she made it easy for us. Was recommended to us from CHOC. Would use her again and highly recommend her.

Conservatorship on my sick mother.

Attorney Diamond Tran helped me through the difficult process of seeking conservatorship on my sick mother. I have no words to describe the specialized work I received from Attorney Diamond Tran. What I can say is that I am extremely satisfied with the results and that I am very grateful to her. She was an impeccable attorney, respectful, precise, thorough and highly professional.

Honest and Helpful

I am so glad I called Diamond Tran. She was nice enough to take the time to talk to me and answer all of my questions. She was honest, helpful, clear, and concise. I felt as though she cared and wanted to help. I know adoptions are extremely complicated and she didn't sugar coat anything- I truly appreciate that! I highly recommend Ms. Tran and I appreciate her helping me.

Grandparents visitation rights

I chose Diamond Tran after researching some other attorneys & after meeting & speaking with her I am very happy with my choice. We are in the begging stages at this time of gaining visitation rights with our grandchildren. I feel very confident that with her help we will prevail .

HIred as a Custody Attorney

I found Diamond on Avvo. Based on the positive reviews I have read about her, I went ahead and gave her a call in regards to a child custody case. She was able to give me a phone consult and seemed very upfront and honest so a scheduled an in office appointment with her. After meeting with 5 different attorneys, I decided to go with Diamond as she was the best fit for me. Her pricing was reasonable and she was not pushy (like some lawyers). She did not try to sell me and did not promise me anything telling me I will win just to get the case. She was very honest and upfront which was what I was looking for. I ended up finishing up the case on my own as the other party and I was able to come to an agreement that did not need to involve an attorney. Overall Diamond is honest, easy to get in contact with, and very straight forward with high morals. I would recommend her. Just an update after my case was closed. I contacted Diamond to ask a few questions regarding my case with no attorney client contract. She got back to me same day with some advice and offered to help without charge. It's not everyday that you run into an attorney that will not charge an arm and a leg just to ask a few questions!

My wife and I had to file for Conservatorship for my Son who will be turning 18 soon. Found some Lawyers names on-line and read their reviews. Narrowed it down to three before contacting them for a quick phone interview. We chose Diamond Tran because we felt comfortable speaking to her and felt like we could ask her any question about the process of filing for Conservatorship. We are very happy with our decision of choosing Diamond Tran help us through the process, she is very caring and most important responsive to any question and concerns that we had.

Very caring

Diamond helped me and my family to get my son's conservatorship. She returned my call very quick she was very honest and explained to me what the whole process was going to be. Diamond also was caring and patient, she told me she would do her best and that if everything went right it would take about 60 days. Which it did I am very happy with all the work she did whenever my friends need a lawyer about conservator ships or child support I would definitely recommend her! Thank you so much Diamond.

Very Satisfied Past Client

Diamond Tran was a blessing. She helped my family with a challenging case & that needed immediate attention. My father passed away unexpectedly. His wishes were to have me & my wife care for my sister, who is still a minor in school. Diamond was very upfront with the entire process & guided us on what we needed to do. I can't say enough for how detailed & responsive she was. The entire case was a very stressful ordeal for all of us, but we worked with someone who had the experience we needed & she managed the whole process with the utmost professionalism. I'm very grateful we found her.

We can't recommend Diamond Tran highly enough

We can’t recommend Diamond Tran highly enough. A sudden death in our family left an adolescent who needed guardians. It was, it seemed to us, a complicated case that required sensitivity, perceptiveness and excellent judgment, and Diamond demonstrated all three, guiding us through the process without a hitch. She was accessible, responding promptly and explaining why we had little reason to worry. She was right – the court case was finalized in the best possible way. For anyone needing a lawyer in guardianship cases – a lawyer who has the best interest of the child at heart and who can relieve the anxiety that such situations provoke – Diamond Tran is an excellent choice. We feel lucky to have found her.

Diamond Tran has integrity and heart!!!!!

Ms. Tran has helped the anxiety in our family so much. She shows up at time at court and keeps me informed what is happening. I feel comfortable that she is doing everything she is doing for us. Before we ever retained her she spent a least two hours speaking with me on the phone and did not even charge us....REALLY? She is professional and warm which an attorney should be not a shark. I worked with family law for seven years and she is at the top.

A class professional

Diamond Tran was so amazing with my case. I came to her under prepared, under a lot of stress, and only days until my court date. She reviewed all my information and helped me tremendously with how I needed to respond in the courtroom. She kept me organized and calm during my darkest hours. She followed up with me until I felt confident enough and I can't thank her enough. I highly recommend Diamond to have as a lawyer because of her intelligence, grace, and dependability.

Initial Consultation

I would recommend Ms. Tran. She is very knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain to me the legal process and what I should expect in the coming months. After consulting with her on a very stressful and emotional situation, I feel much more informed and generally better about my case.

Posted by Connie | December 11, 2013

Outstanding!

I had the opportunity to meet Diamond a little over ten years ago as a teen. Diamond successfully helped me with a custody issue after separating from an abusive relationship. I was able to obtain legal custody promptly following the separation. She kept me continuously informed during family court which reduced my nervousness a great deal. In addition, she helped me feel safe from harm by helping me take appropriate legal measures against the opposing party. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and prompt in taking action. Diamond is passionate about her work. She empathized with me during one of the hardest times as I am sure she did with other youth. I must also mention that she is also one of my main influences to help others and pursue child counseling and advocacy in my professional career. Thank you, Diamond! I highly, highly recommend her!

Impressive Results

Diamond helped me with a business matter against a buyer. For many months, the buyer did not return my calls asking for payment. Diamond wrote a demand letter and got the buyer’s attention. He paid part of the outstanding debt and promised to pay the balance. Thanks Diamond, your demand letter really worked.
