The Best of the Best!!
Dianne is hands down the Best attorney in San Joaquin valley! I retained Dianne about 6 years ago for custody /move away issues. She is passionate, professional, feisty and great at what she does.

Most empowering experience I've had with a lawyer
I came to Dianne in hopes of good changes in child custody case for the well being of my daughters, I was at a loss for words when she welcomed me in her office with such warmth and positive attitude.

waste of money

This is a case that is not familiar with Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. as they have had very few cases with Attorney, Erica Bansmer over the last several years. Those cases have resulted in very good outcomes for the clients. Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. does not employ a secretary. Our very diverse office staff and attorney are always complimented by clients and court personnel for their professionalism. Our billing practices are in keeping with State and County Bar guidelines. Anonymous may contact Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. and speak with Dianne Drew Butler.

Don't expect much other than spending needless amounts of money, on an attorney that has no interest in what your going through
I needed the best for my divorce/custody . What I got was an attorney that had no interest in what was best for my children, returning phone calls ( even if I had a court date) there was never any preparation on her part until the morning of court. She mostly sends colleagues to represent me and I w...
