Great Attorney!

Diane was upfront about what she could do for my Family Custody, and my pending Divorce. She helped me keep my sanity and be a good man and a good father. Being compliant with what the judge requested, is always great advice when you’re in this situation as a man and a Dad. I got to keep and increas...e my Visitation Rights with my kids. I let the house go and got to keep my business intact. Diane was honest about my probabilities of success in court for a trial, based on my specific situation. She potentially saved me over $20,000 in Court Fees if I would have lost. And I did not have to pay the other party’s attorney fees, which was a blessing. She helped me set up mediation and it was a success. A shady attorney may have taken me to trial to “win” and keep a lot more money as the trial drags on. I have heard from other men in my situation, that can happen as the testimony questions on the stand can take around 2 whole days in Court… that’s a lot of money. Diane went to bat for me and she will do the same for you. Thank You!

Attorney

Diane is a very knowledgeable and confident attorney. I met Diane as an opposing counsel. She was able to put her client's heighten emotions aside, advocate on her client's behalf, and was able to articulate her legal arguments professionally. Diane is one of the few family law attorneys that I ca...n call and attempt to resolve the client's issues before having to go to court.

Incredible Attorney

I was blessed to be represented by Diane. Her ability to communicate timelines, procedure, and step by step instruction made the stress of my case so much more Manageable. She is a professional in every aspect, and truly cares about her Clients. She showed incredible patience and understanding, ...and at no time pressured an outcome, but moreover explained our options. As a deployed Service member, she worked with the 9 hour time difference and NEVER left me uniformed. She is skilled in her craft and I wouldn't want anyone else representing me if she was available. She is reasonable priced for her output which is exceptional. To say I am blessed that she took me on as a client would be an understatement. From the Bottom of my Heart, Thank you Diane for all the impeccable work you put in for myself and my family!

I am glad I chose Diane

Diane did everything I could have hoped to expect from a divorce attorney. She was competent, accessible, professional and most importantly caring about my situation as an individual. I never had to worry about documents being filed, or communications with the court not being submitted within a ti...mely manner. I always had full confidence that Diane would have everything handled. I got a better judgment than I ever could have hoped for, and I believe it was because of how well I was represented by Diane Broderson

Nope

If I even had a review the worst wouldn’t even come close. I am 16,000 plus in deep after spending over 13,000. And all I’ve gotten was 2 days a week with my sons and over 1,450 in child support and she still can’t finish the court case. She racks up her bills on calls, texts and emails she will se...nd you in multiple messages and expect you to answer then charge you for it. If you hire her you will be doing 75% of the work at the last minute and she will file and hopefully do her part when court is called to session. As a disabled vet and a single father I’d highly recommend anyone else.

A lawyer’s duty to keep client confidences has few exceptions and in an abundance of caution I do not feel at liberty to respond in a point by point fashion in this forum. Suffice it to say that I do not believe that the post presents a fair and accurate picture of the events.
