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"

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!

PURPOSELY HOLDING MY FILES FROM ME AND MY NEW ATTORNEY SINCE 6/10/25 and today is 6/13/25. WHY ???…read moreThey took my money with no problem. I even reached out to the partners Ross and Calandrina and they haven't help me either. Still trying to prolong my case and they were FIRED!!! I would highly recommend you NEVER use this law firm if you want results and are looking for a lawyer who is professional and does their due diligence. I made the mistake of hiring Jodi Argentino for a very serious and emotional case. I signed a retainer on 2/4/25 and as of 6/10/25 she still had no confirmation from the opposing attorney about an a simple appt for an appraisal. She never even called the other attorney. SHE may have sent 4 emails to him asking very passively about going forward with an appraisal. Never took charge, never gave deadlines and didn't follow up until I asked what was going on. Let months pass doing nothing. NEVER once returning a phone or her assistant. Didn't answer emails. What professional attorney does not answer emails or phone calls. Is this who you want working on your case? Had to fire her because all she did was drag my case and drain me of my money. In my opinion all she cared about was prolonging my case so she could take every dime I had. It's all about the MONEY not doing her due diligence. So UNPROFESSIONAL that she didn't even respond to my new professional attorney When he requested my file on JUNE 10. How nasty and vindictive to hold my files from my new attorney and purposely hold my case up. I am sure I will get charged for that. How horrible can a person be?? To just drag her feet just to take my money. This was an easy case that didn't need over 4 months of promised actions and follow ups that she never did. March 28 she sent an email to the opposing attorney that she would send a list of appraisers. SHE NEVER DID THAT. How is that professional. I finally did her job and did the research and gave her recommendations for appraisers on JUNE 5 which she forwarded to the opposing attorney and as of JUNE 10. She still did not set up an appt with the appraiser. I had enough of her lack of communication, neglect and misrepresentation. How many emails did I get saying 'she would start drafting the complaint " SHE NEVER DID from March until June. AT least 2 times she forgot to send me an email response from the opposing attorney. WOW is that the type of attorney you should trust with your case. If I didn't follow up I won't have gotten those emails. My fault for staying this long. I should have fired her the 1st time she lied to me . Retainer was received 2/19 and 1st email was not sent out until 3/6 . She always had excuses. She would give me a date when it would be done. I would contact her asking if It was done yet and hear another excuse she would give me another day it would be done and nothing was done (except taking my MONEY) it's always about the MONEY. Here is the best part. Fired Jodi June 10, my new attorney requested my file she NEVER sent it. So being a "professional " he "CALLED" the opposing attorney (less then 24 hrs of being hired) something Jodi NEVER did in over 4 MONTHS. So by 11am on June 11 my new attorney had spoken with opposing attorney and the opposing attorney had an appointment with the appraiser for the next day. See what happens when you hire a lawyer who has the clients best interest in mind. The lawyer does his due diligence and gets things accomplished. He even called me. WOW Jodi never called me. If you want the name of a good lawyer who gets things done for the client and doesn't just take your MONEY and delay things to take more MONEY contact me. The new attorney did more in less then 24 hrs then Jodi did in over 4 months

Today, my divorce was finalized, thanks to Robyn Ross…read more Robyn is not only an amazing attorney, but she truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them feel at ease in what can be a very scary time.

Brian definitely is very knowledgeable, efficient, and professional - which made the whole process pretty painless (I mean as painless as it can be).
