"Diana is a true specialist in family law. I have consulted with her in many client matters and I continue referring divorce cases to her. Diana's background is very impressive. She is licensed to practice law in Germany and in the United States, which gives her an edge in representing clients from Europe. Besides, she speaks Russian fluently which is essential for my Russian-speaking clients. I am very impressed with the level of Diana's knowledge and quality of her legal work!"
"Diana is an incredibly smart and talented attorney, who's very passionate about her work. I've had the privilege of working with her on a couple of cases as co-counsel, where she negotiated very favorable settlements for our clients. Though I view her as a collaborative practitioner, if things get messy, she can be a tough litigator. I highly recommend her office for any kind of family law matter."
"I endorse this lawyer. Diana is a compassionate counselor who effectively advocates for her clients best interests. A pleasure to work with and oppose."
"I endorse this lawyer. Diana is an excellent choice if you are facing a family law issue. I have referred clients to her and would not hesitate to do so again. She is very intelligent, hardworking and persistent. She has the special ability to think outside the box and find creative solutions to issues facing her clients. Plus she's multilingual (English/Ukranian/German)."
