Dianne Drew Butler

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!

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 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.
