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.

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.

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 ce...rtain that she will do what is just and in the best interest of my family.

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.

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
