Excellent
I am very satisfied with the lawyer hat helped me throughout this difficult process. Karina was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Knowing that she would be at my side the day of court helped to relieve a lot of my anxiety. I am very thankful to her for all that she did.

Ducks In a Row
I was in need of a divorce attorney and a friend referred me to Dianne Butler‘s firm. She has been amazing to work with because when I first filed, I was living in California. Then, I moved out of state and she was able to handle my case through emails and phone calls all the while, I was 3,000 miles away. She was very clear as to what I needed and what the outcome could be. She was smooth and effective in court and I was able to attend through a telephone call. She helped me attain the goals of what I wanted…..She was worth my money! Her office staff was always friendly, pleasant and would redirected my calls to someone who could possibly answer my questions if she wasn’t available.

She's an expert in family law.
I couldn’t recommend Dianne and her team enough. She’s an expert with over 30+ years, and can help with your family law issues. She assisted me with my annulment, custody of my child, and child support as well. Annulment are exceptionally difficult to get approved in California, but with her help mine was granted. I’m glad I hired her, as not only was she effective, but she was empathetic and understanding. This was an extremely difficult case for me, but with her help I made it through it, with positive outcomes for each case.

Diane is the best!!
Diane and her staff are A+mazing!!! They put my custody case together in two weeks. Diane and her staff worked like what felt round the clock hours to ensure my case was solid. I first met Diane about twenty years ago. She won my case then and recently won another case for me with the same fierce, determined, (let’s get down to it) personality that gets the job done. I highly recommend her services and will use her again if I needed in the future.

I have an ongoing case with many obstacles to overcome.
The Dianne Drew Butler team was recommended to me by our family lawyer after I was unexpectedly served . My case is being carefully and thoroughly prepared by Dianne Butler and Ranette Sonnenberg Esq to insure the facts are presented. I feel confident with my decision to choose Dianne’s firm.

Dianne is not only a compassionate person, but an extremely professional lawyer. She understands your circumstances and goes above and beyond to make this horrible process, as stress free as possible. Her ethics are admirable, her knowledge in the matter is superb. I trust Dianne 100% and I am certain that she will do what is just and in the best interest of my family.

Simply the best
Dianne Drew Butler has represented our son twice in matters of child custody and support involving our grandchild. Her expertise in the law and the support she offered was what we were hoping for in an attorney. She exceeded our expectations. The outcome was fair to all parties involved.

Gets the job done!
Dianne and her staff worked hard to save me needless running around in and out of court. When the opposing side tries to drag their feet it makes a divorce even more difficult. Dianne and her staff got the job done!

I hired Lisa after hiring 2 previous attorneys and I am so glad I found her. We have been to court twice now and both times I was given more time with my son even with the mother telling lies about me. Lisa is very empathetic and actually listened to what I was saying unlike my last attorney.
