Most likely the worst family law & divorce Attny in the county. She cost my friend her son, she cost another friend a reasonable divorce settlement, she cost me just about everything that a first year law student could have easily obtained in my divorce settlement. I later was able win something in appeals court with a new Attny but because Ms Kidd failed to enter basic particulars into evidence during my initial divorce trial, after I had argued multiple times to enter, i could not appeal for those particulars. Basic things such as shared equity in our long term home, retirement pension, of which even in a short term marraige the leaving spouse is entitled to a percentage that is typically determined by years of marraige. Time & time again I begged for the basics like temporary spousal support, & attorneys fees of which she would've obviously benefitted. The attorneys I consulted with & ultimately used moving forward had told me that I could have & (looking back now) should have filed a complaint with the NY State Barr Assoc. and also sued Ms Kidd for what I had should have been awarded in a simple settlement. At every turn I was scared about the outcome ahead but her constant reassurance ie manipulations led me blindly into an extremely unfavorable settlement. I had never been thru something like that & was wholly dependent on her guidance as my lawyer. It's been quite awhile that I've had to contemplate the outcome & I still hold her responsible. So this isn't blind anger anymore, this is the fair warning I truly wish I had been given. read more

Prior to meeting Diana, I had hired two different lawyers to represent me in my divorce and I was beginning to think my situation was impossible. Diana came highly recommended to me by several friends and members of the community who told me that she was revered by most Family Law attorneys Ulster/Dutchess area and I decided to call and arrange a meeting. From my first visit, Diana raised my confidence level and started advising me and developing our strategy. Instantly, I knew that she was the right attorney for me. At every turn throughout the process Diana was committed to seeing my case through to a successful conclusion. The communication with Diana and her staff was effortless. Diana has a great staff behind her, so friendly and caring and they handled all of my questions with expedience and helped prepare me for all outcomes.

THANK YOU DIANA!!! If you need an attorney that is not afraid to fight for you....Diana is the one! Diana provided me the results I needed when my 20 year marriage dissolved...very impressive in the court room leaving the opposing lawyer speechless. Diana was able to preserve my integrity throughout the proceedings. Thanks again, Mike read more

Horrible service. If you want someone to take all your money and get no results this is the lawyer for you. She will quit as soon as she feels she doesn't want to do anything. Stuff is overly sensitive about topics that are not relevant to them. If you do use this lawyer take baby steps and make sure that she knows that you are saying other wise she will screw you over. read more
