EXPERTISE

Testimonials

Diana took over my rather complicated legal matter due to the lack of attention it was receiving by another lawyer. The other party was also not cooperating, and I was unable to achieve a resolution and put a traumatic event behind me, I was delighted with the way in which Diana made the entire process easier. She constantly provided me with the reassurance that my convers was being heard and that she understood what I was going through. She was strategic in the way she managed my matter and achieved a result far quicker than I anticipated, when it was all over and done with, my family and I were in tears with relief that I was free to move on with my life, the compassion I and my family received from Diana is highly commendable. I am now free from trauma of past events

We contacted Diana about an insurance issue to get some advice on what we could do. We’d had a 6 month battle with an insurance company and we were getting nowhere. Diana and her team sent a letter to the insurance company and within days of the letter, a 6 month long battle was ended in our favour. Thank you Diana and team for all your work! We appreciate everything you did for us!

Testimonials

I seriously injured my shoulder following an accident leaving me unable to do the things people take for granted, like brushing my own hair and dressing myself. I felt teary and distressed due to the lack of independence and having to rely on my adult daughter to come around and take care of me. I specifically spoke to Diana because I was aware of her expertise in Public Liability claims and of her reputation for providing legal services in a personable and caring manner. Diana has demonstrated that she not only cares about the end result but how she goes about it, ensuring that my interests are a priority, above all else.
