VA Compensation

From the very first conversation, I could immediately tell Diane was passionate about her job and possessed a deep care for her clients. I decided to hire Diane as I felt that my VA compensation was too low for the many injuries and other ailments I have. But it was her compassion that drew me to ...her and make that decision to go with an attorney. Diane is very knowledgeable and knows the details of the regulation and policies and what will most likely happen on any given scenario. From the beginning to the end, the process took about 3-4 months which surprised me so much as my first claim took 18 months. She was positive in the outcome, but made no guarantees, and that allowed me to trust her to the fullest. Leilani and I love Diane, not because of the positive outcome at all, but because of her professionalism and caring attitude that kept our hopes and spirits at high levels during a worrisome time. I consider Diane an angel sent from God to help me and my family receive what I deserve. As my struggles physically and mentally continue, I can always think of what Diane has done for us, and have peace of mind. To you Diane, I am very grateful for what you do to help Veterans and those others in need. God bless you and your family.

Very competent and very caring, a wonderful lawyer and person

I began working with Diane in Jan/Feb. 2015 and we just had our hearing with the Disability Judge this week, so it's been a long process. Throughout the entire process Diane has been very supportive, informative and communicative regarding the information I required and what would help me to have a p...ositive outcome. I could not be more pleased with my choice in Legal representation. Diane has been a rock during the very lengthy process and was always encouraging and realistic with regards to the outcome and how things might or might not turn out. Fortunately in my case the outcome was positive and this is due directly to Ms. Haar's efforts, I cannot thank her enough. My email is below and I am happy to answer any questions a prospective client may have to the best of my ability. James C. Maui

Outstanding!

I met Diane Haar while living in Hawaii and attempting to grind my way through the VA red tape. After yet another decision of "not service connected" (despite medical and military records), Diane stepped in and took over. Since the beginning, she has always answered my emails, phone calls, and re...sponded to every question and request I have ever had. I have recommended her to every veteran I know, who has gotten tired of being ignored by non-veterans handing veteran issues. Her professional support during some of the darker periods, was invaluable and her assurances that she's doing everything she can kept me from losing all hope. In a society that looks to veterans as little more than Federal dollar signs, Diane actually cares, and it shows in how she handled my case and the cases of my friends that have contacted her. Her tenacity in the face of an organization as log-jammed as the VA is amazing. I'm beyond grateful for her help and simply cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Diane, for everything.

Fantastic Attorney for Assisted Community Treatment and Mental Health Law

Diane helped consult my family and I on how to get my mother, who is mentally ill, the proper treatment that she needs. Diane is an expert in the Assisted Community Treatment (Assisted Outpatient Treatment) laws here in Hawaii as she has completed petitions, worked with psychiatrists and gone to cou...rt hearings about these cases in the past. She is one of the only lawyers in Hawaii who is knowledgeable and experienced in this area and completely understands the purpose of the ACT program, who needs it and how it can help save lives. I recommend Diane to anyone looking into the Assisted Community Treatment program or anyone who is a caregiver of someone that is mentally ill and looking for ways to get their loved one help. Through Diane's wisdom, expertise, passion and empathy, she will be able to both represent you legally as well as support you personally. Thank goodness for lawyers like Diane who provide such valuable services for families like mine and for the community as a whole!

EXCEPTIONALLY SKILLED AND PASSIONATE ATTORNEY!

OUTSTANDING ATTORNEY! Before I sought out Diane, I was floundering on my own attempting to navigate the Social Security disability process and I was very frustrated and getting nowhere. From my first meeting with Diane, she was courteous, professional and treated me exceptionally well. She took on... my case and it moved along pretty quickly, with her providing timely updates throughout the process. I was so impressed by her services, I referred two friends to her who report that they are quite happy with her services too. Finally, she really showed sincere compassion and tenacity in representing me all the way through my hearing. I just received my fully favorable decision from Social Security and I will receive benefits soon. I cannot thank Diane enough. I will continue to refer friends to her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
