Excess fee refund awarded to me against this attorney

I retained Diamondstone in a domestic-relations case in 1989. Diamondstone was a zealous advocate and gave mostly reasonable advice about legal strategy and tactics and non-legal protection for emotional health in the wake of domestic-relations conflicts. However, Diamondstone also used what I consid...ered to be unethical “there is something wrong with you” tactics, did other things that I considered violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct, and charged fees which I believed to be disproportionate for the services rendered. In 1992 the King Country District Court validated my belief about excess fees by awarding me a judgment in the amount of $4,960 against Diamondstone, plus relief from paying $2,728 plus fees charged by her collection agency, in case 91-009507.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
