Dr.

I had a phenomenal experience with the law office of Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. I was forced to deal with suddenly being served with divorce papers by my wife totally out of the blue after a 12-year marriage. After consulting a number of Family law sites, I came across Dianne Butler. She no...t only gave me excellent and very sound legal advice, but also was very patient in describing the process and expertly dealing with the shenanigans my ex and opposing counsel tried to pull. Although the process literally took years, Dianne was there every step of the way. As a man living in California where the divorce laws put us at a distinct disadvantage, I was constantly asked the question by friends and family, “Do you trust your lawyer?” The answer was always overwhelmingly YES! This law office was always amazing. The knowledge and advice that Dianne and her team provided me during my experience was crucial in my case. It is also very evident with every interaction with Dianne Butler is intelligent, thoughtful, thorough, and professional. I could not recommend a better family law lawyer anywhere!

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 mi...ne 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.
