Dr.

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!

Best Lawyer hands down

Diane worked hard to make sure my divorce went as smooth as possible. She handled everything for me in a very timely manner & I couldn’t have done it without her. She is amazing at what she does & I would highly recommend her & her staff.

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!

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.
