A co-worker of mine who went through a messy and complicated divorce recommended Diamond & Diamond…read moreto me. With all the money-hungry law firms out there, I was extremely concerned that I would wind up with a firm that did not have my best interest at heart. Thank God I did not have that negative experience that unfortunately so many people face during one of the hardest times in their life. I wanted a law firm that would see me as an individual and personalize my case--since not every case is the same. Choosing Diamond & Diamond to represent me is one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the first Zoom call with Richard, he gave me his unyielding and undivided attention. I am not one to skimp on details, and he listened intently to everything I shared. From the get-go, my gut told me I was in the very best hands with him. I trust him and his decisions fully. Angela, the paralegal, is a saint. I lost track of the number of times I called her crying. Her kind voice every time she answers the phone always gives me comfort, even when she knows minutes after she sends me an email, I will be calling the office. Jonathan, Richard's son, who is also a lawyer at the firm is an absolute Godsend and so bright. He does not miss one detail! It boggles my mind sometimes. Jon remembers things that even I don't even remember! I have full faith in him. The number of endless hours, time, and attention to detail that Jonathan and Richard have put into my case is truly remarkable, and their professionalism is unparalleled. I haven't worked as closely with Lynn (Richard's partner), but she has represented me in a case management conference. She is incredibly intelligent, and I did not doubt for a second that she would fight for me. With all the emotions, turmoil and stress a divorce can bring, it is a HUGE relief to know that things behind the scenes are being taken care of, and that I have one fewer thing to worry about. Jon and Richard think outside the box. They always have a plan, and never leave me in the dark about anything. I can always reach them, and I have never felt like I was not a priority. I will be writing another review when this is all over and done with, but until then, I wanted to express my gratitude to all of you. Richard, Jon, Angela, and Lynn, you are all angels in my life. Thank you for not rushing me off the phone every time I call concerned or crying or needed something explained to me. Thank you for appreciating my quirky personality. Thank you for treating me as if I am your only client (when I am anything but) and thank you for always having my best interest at heart and fighting tirelessly for me. The amount of hard work and detail that goes into everything you do does not go unnoticed and to say it is appreciated is a giant understatement. Richard and Jonathan, as a young woman whose life has been turned upside down, to have you both protecting and fighting for me means the world to me. For all this and more, I say thank you. -A

I have used Richard Diamond twice. The first time was to get my visitation rights and I was very…read moreimpressed. The 2nd time I was even more impressed because I had asked for legal advice from a friend and it was not getting done. Richard was hired and in 1.5 months he had accomplished what we had hired him to do which was have our son emancipated and free us from paying any more child support since he had been going to school for almost 7 years. Richard is an exceptional lawyer and knows the family law very well. We learned about him because someone he went against recommended him. I highly recommend him!

I foolishly retained a lawyer 20 years ago who was thoroughly inept at representing me in my…read moredivorce. I have essentially lived the past 20 years "in hell" trying to finagle out of this "child support and lifetime alimony" (based on my short term 10 yr marriage). I had a short term marriage and I also have custody of my 3 kids and yet I was locked into a ridiculous life-sentence with my ex. I retained Jeff (skeptically, since I was told that i was f**ked due to the divorce papers which i signed 2 decades ago) and Jeff worked reasonably, rationally and tirelessly with me. We went through the court system, appellate court, endless negotiations and conferences but in the end, gave me the satisfaction and relief which I deserved after being taken so absurdly advantaged of by my ex for soooooo many years, and my own shortsightedness in signing, what amounted to, was a death-sentence divorce decree. Had I retained Jeff (or someone of his expertise years ago) he NEVER would have allowed me to enter such a lopsided divorce decree to begin with! Martin Luther King said it best: "free at last - - free at last - - thank god almighty, i'm free at last"

Stephen McNamara was my divorce attorney and guide through this incredibly difficult process. He…read morekept me focused on the most important thing which was my life with my child and more importantly, her life with her parents. In the times when I was allowing emotion to take over he stepped in to bring logic and my life (long term) back into focus. He knew the law better than anyone and ultimately that is what prevailed in my divorce case. Knowing the law and what to reasonably expect was critical for me in making important decisions. Stephen brought that to the table and got the best possible outcome for me and my daughter. We will be forever grateful for his extremely valuable expertise.

Listing me at the wrong address, listing my X at the wrong address even after I emailed the corrections and not publicity filing the financial information. The judge would not approve the financials.

She told him "it's the law" and that he should have known! Let the buyer beware!

These two handled, and won, a very fraught and stressful Hague case in which I was the defendant…read more If you aren't familiar with Hague cases, basically its an international child custody law that was intended to protect women and children but due to it being written so badly, abusers are able to manipulate it, and the parents who end up being the defendants (usually DV victims fleeing with their children) have so few recourses to protect their kids that they usually lose purely on technicalities. In our case, my daughter and I were desperately trying to find a way to keep her with me as she was terrified to go back to her father after an extended visitation went horribly wrong with disastrous consequences. Her father had multiple pro bono lawyers provided by his employment in his country's armed forces. I had no one, until I found Ari and Elliot. They were dynamic and informative in both pre trial and the trial and kept the courtroom on their toes, vigorously put forth the facts of my case and their reasons for defense and against all odds, I won. She is safe and happy, I am relieved and the nightmare is over. I'd recommend again and again.
