Excellent Law Firm

I hired Dianne Drew Butler and Associates because they addressed my questions by explaining the processes until I felt comfortable moving on with the next step. I received outstanding customer service, legal advice and representation over the past year and I definitely recommend Dianne Drew Butler & ...Associates.

Best in town!

I hired Dianne Butler back in 2007. My divorce was quite complicated and time consuming. It took over a year to settle everything due to my ex-wife fighting as much as possible. At the end, my divorce and settlement with my ex tuned out very well in my favor. I did learn by going to court many times ...that there are many attorneys out there that do not fight for you as they should. What I have noticed by watching other attorneys in court is that they take the short cut and want to end the case. Dianne on the other hand, fought for everything that I deserved and never settled.

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. Dianne was able to take over what I called a broken case and waive her knowledge and her superior u...nderstanding of Family Law. Dianne rationalizes problems and approaches each situation with confidence and absolute honesty, Dianne made me feel like I had an entire team behind me. I would recommend her any day of the week. Her office associates also exemplify the characteristics which says a lot about her qualities. The result in my case was more then expected. Thank You!

Finally!!

Thanks to Dianne and her staff I was finally able to experience a positive result within the family court system. I have been represented by two other high profile local attorney's in previous cases and nothing went my way. Dianne was very responsive to my needs, and represented me well. With the ef...forts of Dianne and her staff I was able to maintain the custody of my children, and I cannot thank them enough. I highly recommend Mrs. Butler for family court matters.

Alimony Termination

Entered my venture, if you will, with Lindsay GM, Associate Attorney with DDB. Didn't know how it would turn out because family can be get crazy. I provided all necessary documents after retaining representation. Once the ball rolled- Associate Lindsay was my attorney. Lindsay is calm, cool, colle...cted and didn't mind me voicing my opinion about documentation or our plan of action. Yes, I was the client and I paid, however I felt she was truly on my side. In fact, on my court date, another (female) associate entered the court Client/Attorney room (looking for Lindsay) while I was extremely upset; saw my raw emotion and said, "I'm on your side." Although she didn't represent me, her words reflected Lindsay's approach toward my case. Lindsay had to calm me down because I thought she was too nice. However, when it was game time, she was on point and made me say wow from the table. I understand everyone's situation is different and results are not the same. With that said, I appreciate DDB's firm for professionalism, team work and respect. Great job Lindsay!!!!
