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. I contacted Dianne just this week for a consult and she still remembered my case and the troubles I ha...d with my ex. When I got off the phone with her Friday I was crying tears of joy. The advice she gives is invaluable, she puts your mind at ease. She has given me the tools and boost I need before going into court next month. Thank you , thank you, thank you for your advice! I'm glad she is on my side :)

Fantastic and Professional Experience

I was hesitant to even hire a lawyer for my divorce because I believed that somehow my marriage could ultimately be saved. Upon seeking counsel from many trusted friends on the issue, I decided to hire representation. Dianne was extremely sympathetic, professional, and kind. At no point did I ever ...feel coerced to seek any particular type of restitution, but was presented with what the law said I was entitled to. That was very important to me in deciding to hire representation and Dianne's integrity and morality won me over. She was able to prove my case based upon what the law stated and never tried to seek out loopholes that could be deemed unethical. In the end, I was able to recover what was taken from me and leave with the peace of mind that I had someone with the knowledge and reputation who would advocate for my rights fairly and ethically.

Highly Recommended - Knowledgeable, Compassionate and Professional

Attorney Dianne Drew Butler and her team provided excellent and quality service. I always felt that my needs were met and that the firm was invested in me and my case. They were easily accessible, got back to me quickly, aggressive and got me the results that I wanted. All issues were certainly ha...ndled professionally and timely. Billing rates very fair for the quality of service received. Attorney Dianne Drew Butler, her associates, and her staff all possessed great qualities of an attorney that anyone would want when hiring a Family Law Attorney. During my court hearing I was very impressed. Dianne is concise and very powerful with her words. Dianne consistently pushed back on the opposing attorney and did not back down. Dianne made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I felt like she actually truly cared about my situation at a personal level. I've had other attorneys in the past and always felt anxious through the entire process, but with Dianne it was like I wasn't even in court, that's how comfortable and safe I felt with her. I highly recommend Dianne Drew Butler & Associates, Inc. Dianne is truly remarkable!

The best compliment I can give Dianne is that she made a horrible chapter in my life bearable.

Going through a divorce is one of the worst experiences one can imagine. Working with Dianne made the process bearable and made me feel like I had an expert in my corner. Each time I met with Dianne she was concerned for my well being, and was sincerely empathetic about my situation. Her expertise... was obvious as we worked together with a common goal of getting our household and businesses separated. In the end, I was very happy with my settlement. I wholeheartedly recommend Dianne Drew Butler.
