An internationally qualified attorney who advocate for yor best interest

I had an international divorce and tried to find internationally qualified attorney who is fluent in 2+ languages. I am glad that Diana agreed to be my attorney and advocate for my best interest. She is very well organized, reachable, responsible. In my case she was the one who was able to... think outside the box and step into hard negotiations in order to find a right solution for me. Also it was very important that she understood Russian law and therefore she was able to better resolve an issue and represent my interests. I still continue working with her regarding my divorce documents and despite of 6 000 miles and 11 hours difference she provides full support for my case. I highly recommend her as an attorney who always is on your side and advocate for your best interest.

very difficult situation

In the beginning of my case I was in a very difficult situation that required an experienced and multilingual(English/Russian) divorce attorney. It included various complications such as immigration situation, experiencing physical harm and a required urgency of the matter. Moreover I was in a terrib...le emotional place and I was scared for my life and safety. When I called to the office Diana has promptly responded and we scheduled a consultation soon after. When we met for the first time not only she gave an impression of a knowledgeable professional in the field she is also proved to be an amazingly empathic human being! She does care and she will listen carefully in order to get a complete picture of situation and come up with a plan of steps that are appropriate for your individual case. During initial consultation Diana has provided me with few options and detailed steps for going forward with the case. Her demonstrated knowledge and attentiveness prompt me to decide I can entrust my case in her hands. Filling all the forms can be a complicated process especially when you are feeling emotionally distressed and Diana was so helpful and went above and beyond to answer various questions I had cropped up during filling out of all documents. Diana has also provided assistance with serving summons in a seamless and urgent manner. She lifted so much the weight off my shoulders while simultaneously providing the support and encouragement I needed the most. After we filed and sent out the forms I was prepared to wait for a long time to get an answer, however to my surprise Diana received a result in under two month! I couldn't believe that in my complicated case the whole process took only few month to resolve! I am eternally grateful to Diana for her help and I would highly recommend her, no matter the complexity of the case, she has proved to be an outstanding professional with a kind heart and impeccable practices!

Awesome!

I found Diana online. From our first meeting on I had a gut feeling Diana was the right person to complete my divorce. Her price was very reasonable. She responds very fast within a few hours. She has lawyers covering for her when she is not around too, which is very convenient and I haven't seen it ...with other firms very often. Most importantly, my entire process was done within couple of months of meeting Diana. She is an incredible communicator, and get things done without complicating it. In fact, she was able to simplify a complex divorce process and finish it with no time. Diana is amazing!!!! Thanks again for having done such a great job.

brilliantly explained

I found Diana on Yelp.The initial consultation was a clear, concise and helpful insight in what I was facing legally with my divorce. Knowing the current laws in and out, she brilliantly explained all my rights. With the consultation alone, I was able to exhale and feel confident that I was in better... legal shape than I originally thought.  Unfortunately I relocated to Los Angeles and had to find local legal help.  "Romanovska Law...please open an office in Los Angeles!!!"

"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."
