About Diamond
Biography
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.) I was also an Adjunct Professor at UC Irvine School of Law and worked at Legal Advocates for Children & Youth (LACY). I graduated from UC Berkeley and UC Law San Francisco, formerly known as UC Hastings College of Law. I've also volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for abused and neglected children and as a pro bono attorney.
