Diana was outstanding!  Xxx Xxx Recommend Diana & I am so glad he did!!  Thank you so much.  5/1/2024  Peggy

Diana, Thank you so much for making what we feared would be the most difficult part of this process the easiest.  Not even the marriage counselor we attempted was as gentle and impartial.  I could not recommend this avenue more when referring you out to friends.  Thank you.  You may have saved mine and Xxx’s friendship, and that’s what matters to us right now, as we go forth and navigate our new lives as co-parents and exes.  2/7/2024  Anonymous.

I loved @ the very first how you told my husband who didn’t want a divorce I had cried a long time in silence.  I liked how you looked up prices on his house to see if equitable.  Very well versed legally.  Liked how you looked up if there were any cases for getting inheritance.  Pleasant & Professional.  Tried to be fair to both sides.  2/1/2022  Kathy

The only issue we had was the 2nd appt we had was cancelled 30 min. prior.  Suggested that would give more time to the client where my husband had already driven from Utah County & had to turn around & go back home.  The other appt. was delayed because at lunch, not giving enough time to get back.  10/31/2018  Anonymous
