"FEBRUARY 2024 A colleague of mine recommended Diamond & Diamond to me, and I thank God she did. My case turned out way more complicated than we all expected it to be, and should have been, and yet was anything but an open and shut case. I know I would not have made it through this process without Diamond & Diamond's guidance, leadership, intelligence, knowledge, kindness, and at times when needed, ferocity. I still remember my first call with Richard. He reads people extremely well. I have a very quirky personality, and he accepted me, helped me get to the point of things and did not judge me whatsoever. He was quick to action, making sure I was doing the same. I knew I was in the very best hands with him. He thinks outside the box, and has a vast knowledge of the law and every angle that comes along with it. He's really just incredible. The person who I worked the closest to and spoke to the most would have to be Jon (Richard's son); another lawyer at the firm. There were days where I called Jon about five times, and each time he answered the phone he was always respectful, responsive, and never made me feel like a burden. Jon did an obscene amount of work on my behalf; working tirelessly and endlessly for me to make sure that everything was exactly how I wanted/needed it to be. He was always honest and upfront with me. Additionally, he would always ask me before he acted upon anything, as well as explaining why he would be doing said action in the first place. He is ridiculously intelligent, determined, and memorizes just about everything. He knew my case better than I did! I was anxious majority of the time, and he would notice immediately, and say to me, "It's OK, you're okay." That phrase meant more to me than he could ever know. Every time we had to show up for court in person, I would see him, and I knew everything was going to be OK. Angela, a senior paralegal at the firm is a SAINT. She is patient, kind, understanding, extremely smart, and always knows the right thing to say. Every time I would call and hear her voice on the phone, I instantly felt calmer. She is truly the best. As a young woman in her 30's who found herself in an awful situation, I felt safe with Jon and Richard. They do not take advantage, they get to know YOU, the person behind the divorce, and only want what's best for you. They are not afraid of anything or anyone, accept challenges willingly with dignity, morality, and a "bring it" type of attitude. Diamond & Diamond was more than I could have ever asked for, and I will be eternally grateful. With a giant air hug, huge smile and endless gratitude, -A. AUGUST 2024 A follow up to my previous post-divorce review: Diamond & Diamond continues to be the honorable and upstanding firm they have always proven themselves to be. Even though my divorce is final and my case is technically closed, some unexpected issues arose. They could have easily nickel and dimed me; many firms would have. Instead, their continued assistance was completely fair and reasonable. A huge thank you to Jon and Richard for continuing to make me feel safe and protected. As previously stated, I remain eternally grateful. -A"

"Our daughter hired Diamond and Diamond to represent her in a divorce settlement. This was a very fortunate decision. They worked for her as though they were part of the family. Their expertise, thoroughness and execution was first rate. We recommend Diamond and Diamond without reservation."

"As a loving father, I can say that the best parenting decision I’ve made has been hiring the Diamond & Diamond Law firm to represent me. From the moment I retained their services, they were immediately on the case, obtaining the necessary documents and information while ensuring no stone was left unturned. I wish I had found them earlier, because they cleaned up the mess that was left from the carelessness of other attorneys. The Diamond Diamond Law firm were responsive, attentive, and detailed oriented. I could see that they actually read everything I have provided line by line in preparation for my hearing. My initial nervousness during the actual hearing date was quickly calmed when I witnessed the level of respect Richard had earned from colleges and court officials who were present. Richard’s brilliance was on full display in the courtroom, and he fought for my interests as a father. He made sure that no falsities went unanswered. The Diamond & Diamond Law firm gave me reasonable expectations for the outcome of my case and then proceeded to exceed them in every way. They were not cheap, but I know from hard experiences, that bad representation (especially in family court) can cost so so much more."
