This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
| Consulted Attorney
Compassionate yet tough
Diane represented my wife in a family matter, and worked hard to work out a compromise. She was in back and forth between us and I thought that she actually put in effort she did not have to. She is thorough and researches cases well and tries to work to the benefit of her client and puts children first in a case.
