Diana Romanov

Ms. Romanov* is a San Francisco family law attorney, licensed to practice in both California and Germany. She is a certified Family Law Specialist in San Francisco and unique in her field, a rare divorce attorney who is able to provide legal counsel, representation, and mediation services in English, Russian, and German in order to better serve her clients.

Ms. Romanov* previously worked as a prosecutor in the Office of the District Attorney of the Regional Superior Court of Berlin, and for several large firms including Beiten Burghard & Wegner, and Linklaters Oppenhoff & Raedler. She was awarded the Outstanding Pro Bono Award for Family Law Cases by the Justice and Diversity Center for her volunteer work with the Bar Association of San Francisco in 2012 and 2013. She was also selected to the Super Lawyers® Rising Stars℠ list for her high standards of client care and in-depth knowledge of the law. Ms. Romanov* received her J.D. with a concentration in family law from the Freie University School of Law, a research University located in Berlin and one of the most prominent universities in Germany. She received her Master’s Degree (LL.M.) in US Legal Studies from Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco.

Ms. Romanov* has been a resident of San Francisco since 2009. She was born in Kiev and lived there until the age of 15, when she moved with her family to Germany. Living in such diverse places has given Ms. Romanov* an understanding of different cultures that helps her thoughtfully practice law and be better connected with each of her clients. When Ms. Romanov* moved to San Francisco, she decided that she wanted to start a boutique family law firm so that she would have the time to really connect with her clients and make a difference in each matter. Ms. Romanov* also has a personal understanding of what it is like to go through a divorce, having been through one herself. This personal experience allows her to empathize with her clients and understand what is important to them.

Ms. Romanov* is regarded as one of the best divorce attorneys in San Francisco. Her breadth of experience in California divorce law includes the areas of child custody and visitation rights; child, spousal and domestic partner support; domestic violence restraining orders; and asset and property division. Beyond Ms. Romanov’s* expertise as a divorce lawyer, she also specializes in other family law matters including prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, as well as the enforcement of premarital and post-marital agreements.
