“I will definitely recommend them to friends and family in the future.”
Testimonial for Diana Romanov*: Starting a case with the court is something extremely scary for a lot of people. It was definitely a scary thing for me regarding my case. I had tried to research and open a case with the court in the past, but the process was extremely overwhelming and confusing for me. I felt discouraged and scared to move forward. When I made the decision to retain an attorney, I had several consultations with many lawyers prior to making the decision to work with one. I came across Diana Romanov* while browsing on yelp for different attorneys in the area. My first impression of Diana was that she was quick to respond to my initial inquiry. We talked on the phone for 10 minutes and then made an appointment for an initial consultation. She took into consideration the urgency of my case and modified her schedule to fit me in sooner rather than later. When I had my first consultation with Diana, I knew instantly that she was perfect for my case. She not only provided me with all of the options regarding my case, but she also was very sweet and compassionate towards me and my situation. This help put me at ease. This same day, I decided to work with Diana. We agreed on an action plan and she quickly began the process to get my case started with the court. I received emails from her regarding the filing the same night I retained her; this was definitely impressive and assuring to me. As my case progressed, I was more assured that I made the right decision to work with Diana. She filed everything I needed, which can be overwhelming in itself. She also kept me informed through the entire process and always responded to me within 4 hours. I am happy to say that with Diana’s help, I was granted what I was hoping for and cannot be any more pleased with the end results. Rachel is another attorney that works with Diana and she is also extremely sweet, knowledgeable, quick to respond and great to work with as well. The dedication that Rachel and Diana had to my case is commendable. I will definitely recommend them to friends and family in the future.

“Definitely one of the most professional, and knowledgeable lawyers in the field.”
Definitely one of the most professional, and knowledgeable lawyers in the field. Diana is well versed and extremely organized with resolving a case in the most amicable way possible. She knows Russian, German, and U.S. laws, which helped in my case as I was married to a Ukrainian national with whom it was complicated because of the green card status of the other spouse. She is very strategic, and tactful in showing you what needs to be done. Thanks to her advice with my case, she proved that she can resolve issues with a strength of power and authority. She didn’t leave any room for the spouse to try to gain any ground in terms of the settling. Diana genuinely cares about your well-being in resolving your case, if you want an attorney that has your best interests in mind I highly recommend her. In our consultation I was able to get a more strategic course of action then I did from other attorneys I interviewed to how best resolve my case. My selling point with her was her responsiveness to her clients, I had another attorney not answer phone calls or emails for several days. I wanted the peace of mind that my attorney was responsive, and had my interests in mind Diana always got back to me within a business day. I was able to settle in my case with better results than I expected, I wanted a quick divorce. Diana was able to resolve any differences with the other party and settle the case before going to trial. Ca law is not the easiest in terms of paperwork that needs to be filled out, I attempted to fill some of it myself to no avail and frustration. There’s just too many possibilities to do something incorrectly, and I didn’t want to gamble with my future livelihood. I know Diana’s professionalism and knowledge saved me time and money because the other party wanted to drag out this case for the purpose of just being spiteful. She went above and beyond in terms of interacting with the other party so that I didn’t have to. She saved me from my ex’s manipulation, which in turn would have cost me my sanity. Thank you, I’m glad that by chance yelp came through in being able to find you.

“Diana is knowledgeable in her field and a pleasure to work with”
When I decided to get a divorce, I contacted Diana. She helped me get through a complicated international divorce involving two nationalities and three different countries. Diana was kind, professional and very responsive. Her fluency in the German language and law was crucial for the successful outcome of my case. I couldn’t have chosen a better lawyer to represent me. I highly recommend Diana!” I was seeking a strong lawyer who could help me with family law and am pleased to have found Diana. I worked with Diana for a period of about 1 month and found her to be accessible, responsive, and effective for my family law needs. One of Diana’s key strengths that I found was her ability to distil complex legal definitions and consequences into plain language I could understand. Diana was particularly accommodating to work with me on weekends and evenings around my schedule which was much appreciated since I travel frequently. Diana is knowledgeable in her field and a pleasure to work with but more importantly, delivers to deadlines and goals that you mutually agree from the outset. I would recommend Diana for your family law needs and am pleased to have worked with her.

“I’m endlessly grateful to Diana”
After changing few attorneys who were unsuccessful in resolving my case, I’ve chosen going pro per. After few month doing so, I’ve found myself in a difficult situation, buried with endless aggressive paperwork coming from the opposite side usually right before the weekends, purposeful failures to serve the documents on time, attempts to lure me into signing agreements stating that “the court ordered us to do so”, failure to provide required paperwork to me, financial/time-share miscalculations, and more such things typical for aggressive course of family case. Lack of any legal background left me completely at other’s side lawyer’s mercy aggravating my situation even further. As one of the previous reviewers noted, California Family Law is too complicated and has too many nuances to be able to operate with it being proper. So, I started seeking for a legal help, advice, and assistance. Diana agreed to meet with me even though she knew I won’t be able to afford her services for a full future representation. Diana was very kind spending few hours on reviewing my documents and my case history prior to our meeting. She grasped the core of the case right away and was fully prepared for our meeting. Not only that she helped me to prepare the appropriate form to file, but she also thoroughly explained me what should I state at the hearings, what should be my strategy, what’s the strategy of the other side and how most likely it’s going to unravel. Unlike many other attorneys, Diana haven’t said that to me that I have no rights and better just surrender to the other side, or that she’s not willing to do things I needed to be done in my case because it demands too much of an effort, attention to the details, and the other side is determined to making it as hard and prolong as possible. She clearly recognized the aspect of not only legal but psychological pressure the other party was applying on me. At the same time, Diana explained to me how the court sees my case, what’s the right procedural steps that should have been taken, what mistakes were done and whether it’s possible to repair them. Diana was very kind to prepare for me some notes for the law codes she checked, overview of my next steps and future strategy. She basically cleared my case from all the unnecessary “debris” and gave a fresh look on what’s really important. Meeting with Diana gave me back my sense of certainty and security. I would definitely recommend Diana. My impression is that she’s is a professional who cares for her clients and who not files paperwork without a particular purpose just for the sake or responding and charging for the time, but builds her strategy wisely and dedicates herself to the matter. I’m endlessly grateful to Diana for seeing me, spending her time on my matter and addressing my financial hardship by giving me a discounted consultation, although for the quality of her services I wish I would be able to pay a full price.

“Diana knows the law in and out”
In Brief: Diana is very knowledgeable, professional, intelligent with a high degree of empathy, consulting external expertise when beneficial, and standing firm and by the facts under high pressure, very responsive, and creating results. Without her help, I would have definitely not settled my divorce in such a good way. With this experience, I will definitely first consult Diana, in case I need a lawyer again. I found Diana via the list of German-speaking attorneys provided by the German Embassy. I consulted help to help me with my divorce, involving three different countries, making it fairly complex. Diana took the time, to listen carefully to my case and to explain to me the California law, so I understood exactly what I need to do and where I could let Diana do. At the end of this talk, she quickly came up with a plan how we approach the case. During the entire process, she has been always very responsive to any of my questions or concerns, as well as that she updated me about anything that happened, independent of daytime and also during weekends. Diana knows the law in and out and recommended the use external expertise for the financial calculation in my case. This external expertise has been one of the success factors in the settlement. I am still thankful for that. With her high degree of integrity and commitment to help me, she has been working very accurate and fast, even under very high pressure, and thus accomplishing the best result possible. In addition to that, she always stayed with the facts, not getting infracted by the noise of the other party. That in return helped me and gave confidence throughout the process.

“Diana (or as I call her My Angel) is a miracle worker!”
Wish there were 10 stars….. Diana (or as I call her My Angel) is a miracle worker! Not kidding…for real! She made my DIVORCE seamless and fast (which was complicated because of owning a business together, a home together and a child also). She turned what easily could have been a 1-2 year ordeal into 6 months! Unheard of, brilliant woman she is…. I have the up most respect for Diana. She’s well rounded in her profession. Her people skills are out of this world…seriously. She could have been a Public Speaker as a Life Coach. She totally understands people and guides them as they need to be guided. I surrendered my life over to her and would do it again (not that I want another DIVORCE..LOL). AMAZING TALENTED SMART AND……TOUGH!!!

I was lost and confused about how to go about the divorce process at first. I had a lot of questions and concerns. The paperwork would be overwhelming, but with Diana’s help, it was a breeze.

Diana has helped me with the process in person, via email, and over the phone. Divorce can be such a stressful experience and thanks to Diana, I feel relieved. She is down to earth and considerate of my thoughts and feelings. WOW!! such a weight has been taken off of my shoulders since working with Diana Romanov*. I will always feel so incredibly grateful and blessed. Thank You, Diana!!

“I am amazed how patient she answered my questions”
When I was looking for a Russian speaking lawyer, I found Diana Romanov* online. Extremely satisfied how fast and clear Diana was able to explain my divorce process, acted right away to support me to get started with the paperwork. I am amazed how patient she answered my questions. She did it very professionally and it was easy to understand. I left relieved because I finally understood how to finalize my divorce, having an action plan after several months of doing it on my own. If I need any future consultation or representation, I would choose Diana for her professional service again. I highly recommend her services.

“Diana was a pleasure to work with, and showed a great deal of skill and diligence”
I recently retained Diana for a matter involving resolution of certain legal issues in Germany. She approached the problem with enthusiasm, was quick to respond to my inquiries, and was able to leverage her knowledge of German and German legal system to find a solution very quickly and in a very cost-effective manner for the client. In general, Diana was a pleasure to work with, and showed a great deal of skill and diligence, notwithstanding being a recent law school grad.

“I highly recommend her and will use her again for family-related issues”
Ms. Romanov* assisted me with my prenuptial planning and is very knowledgeable in the subject. When we started, I had many misconceptions as to what my options were and what I really needed. She explained everything thoroughly to me, answering all my questions fully. Plus she was very helpful in explaining the impact of each decision I had to make on both my fiancee and me. I highly recommend her and will use her again for family-related issues.

“I am eternally grateful to Diana for all her hard work, endless energy and wisdom!”
I am writing this letter so that people, who need great representation, wonderful support, and a down to earth person that they can trust, know where to go. I have been in a custody battle for 11 years!!! Dealing with an alcoholic who is narcissistic, disrespectful and irresponsible about parenting our daughter. At first, I had another lawyer who walked me through nine years of what felt like complete madness. I felt lost alone and abandoned by almost everyone I knew due to the fact in that nine years the passive aggressive havoc the ex was causing in my parenting, outside family life, and personal (love), life was so intense in negative ways people who I cared for deeply were dropping out of my life one by one. My ex was able to get in the heads of people I loved by manipulation and hiding behind the law. The ex was very slick in that way, he did all the dirty tricks under the radar of the law. He turned it all around on whoever was the target at that particular moment. Through the years it was not easy to gather evidence quickly. It was a very slow and painful process for everyone involved especially our daughter. My lawyer at the time felt over it as well but the fight went on because the ex couldn’t stop. There were times that the ex would agree one day to peaceful positive solutions to co-parenting our daughter then turn around within the 24-48 hours and change their mind so it would be back to the same old thing. Everyone who was involved was exhausted. Resources were completely gone from this behavior and we were unable to get resolution. The ex promised our daughter complete happiness, unconditional freedom, a quinceneta, the perfect school situation, the perfect household that would consist of just the two of them if she lived with them 100%. I thought I was gonna die. We discussed it and I agreed because she had to learn on her own. Almost one day to the year she came back to me. I gave everything to Diana and she was able to get through those files in a very timely manner. She suggested in the beginning that we write a letter personally to ask for parental rights 100% to be handed over. I was adamant to not do that because of all the craziness I had endured. I must have seemed like an out of my mind and out of control person. Diana was able to talk me down from that ledge. We went around and around and she handled me in a professional, kind and respectful manner to which I am so grateful. She took all the files and created an amazing timeline that showed all the steps that I had tried to restore peace and positive co-parenting over the previous nine years before Diana and I had met. This is not an easy feet. Diana had to first of all listen to me to what felt like drone on forever spewing ugliness and anger. Then she had to read all that drama and try to make sense out of it. It all makes my stomach turn…still. The end result: I got 100% child custody without a single court appearance, drama free and I can peacefully move on with my life. This is real and I am eternally grateful to Diana for all her hard work, endless energy and wisdom!

“Diana is a really good lawyer.”
Diana is a really good lawyer when it comes to presenting your own interests. She helped me with the prenuptial agreement that seemed to be a simple one at the beginning. When she started digging into it (after receiving the initial draft from my husband’s lawyer) she caught a lot of details that I would never think of. Now I feel pretty safe and confident to signing it after Diana revised it, and asked the other lawyer to update it. Another benefit from working with her is that she is a pleasant person:).

“Highly recommended.”
Diana’s is fun and easy to work with. Her great attention to details and international background was very helpful in drafting our prenup since my fiancee and I both hold different passports. Diana is very knowledgeable regarding marital challenges based on her personal and legal experience. She helped us identify potential issues and set up a strong partnership framework and a solid foundation for our marriage. Highly recommended.

“I believe that Diana represents the best of the profession and that helped me win my case”
Diana with Romanov Law was a true yelp find! I believe that Diana represents the best of the profession and that helped me win my case. I hope she can help with yours. When I first met Diana I thought she was easy to talk to, was there to help me and was on my side. After explaining my situation to Diana, she was thoughtful and thorough in her explanation of the legal aspects of the case, the approach, and the strategy to winning the case. She advocated for me by explaining what was legally mine to claim and why. She is also practical and versed in the local laws we have in California Once we started working together, we didn’t let up until we won the case. Even with my busy and unconventional schedule, Diana made herself available to talk to and was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I always thought there was a clear line of communication. It is a testament to her professionalism and dedication to working with her clients. Diana was always ahead of what needed to happen next. She was always prepared and made sure I was also by keeping me informed and up-to-date on what I needed to do next to keep the case moving forward. I felt the case had a reasonable timeline and Diana was clear about explaining the process and proceedings along the way. When we came across an unforeseen hurdle, I was impressed with our strategy to call in additional help in the form of a forensic accountant. Diana and the accountant worked hard and researched to get information that was not necessarily forthcoming by another party. Their perseverance gave us a key piece of evidence in the case. The part that many people wonder and worry about is how much it costs to retain a lawyer. Diana was upfront and clear about her costs. We discussed the case and the different options available to me. In my situation, the cost to retain her help was worth it for the case. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and this experience has left me with a good lasting impression of the profession. In all Diana, was a wonderful lawyer to work with. She gave no illusion or pretension. She was completely professional while at the same time personable and relatable. In my case, with Diana’s help, justice was served!

“She did a great job, very professional and fair”
Diana mediated the divorce between my ex-wife and me, She did a great job, very professional and fair, with tenacity and patience, with a lot of creativity to find ways out of sticky situations, but above all, also with warmth and empathy. This line of work must be a terribly difficult and intense one. I feel intimidated even only in business negotiations trying to bridge differences, and there none of the parties feel their very existences are at stake, and no big emotions come into play. Diana is able to handle the much more complex and higher-stakes negotiations of a mediation, turning them into a win-win. Thank you, Diana, and I can only recommend her services.

“Ms. Romanov* loves her work and dedicates 100% of her ability to help”
I have been working with attorneys for 4 decades. I had a circumstance where I needed an international attorney who knew German law. So, Ms. Romanov* was recommended. I was pleasantly shocked when she spoke several languages and was licensed in several countries and had achieved Ph.D. level. Moreover, she looked young enough to be in her 20s. Ms. Romanov* was an experience more than a consultation. Her analysis of the facts and circumstances was remarkable and easy to understand! I call her the “Holistic” lawyer. She considers clients entire body of problems. Emotionally, analytically, and develops a strategy for solutions. Ms. Romanov* loves her work and dedicates 100% of her ability to help. Indeed, try her first, she will put you at ease and offer real solutions! Best luck, Pierce Smith

“Diana is EXCELLENT”
Diana is EXCELLENT. She helped me with a sensitive custody matter, and I was prepared to have her help me and take things further. I ended up resolving directly with my ex-husband, and didn’t require her services. I found her to be responsive, very smart, and warm and down to earth. I would absolutely have her as my attorney in the future if I needed help again, and I highly recommend her.

“Outstanding, professional with a kind heart and impeccable practices!”
In the beginning of my case, I was in a very difficult situation that required an experienced and multilingual(English/Russian) divorce attorney. It included various complications such as immigration situation, experiencing physical harm and a required urgency of the matter. Moreover, I was in a terrible emotional place and I was scared for my life and safety. When I called to the office Diana has promptly responded and we scheduled a consultation soon after. When we met for the first time not only she gave an impression of a knowledgeable professional in the field she is also proved to be an amazingly empathic human being! She does care and she will listen carefully in order to get a complete picture of a situation and come up with a plan of steps that are appropriate for your individual case. During initial consultation, Diana has provided me with few options and detailed steps for going forward with the case. Her demonstrated knowledge and attentiveness prompt me to decide I can entrust my case in her hands. Filling all the forms can be a complicated process especially when you are feeling emotionally distressed and Diana was so helpful and went above and beyond to answer various questions I had cropped up during filling out of all documents. Diana has also provided assistance with serving summons in a seamless and urgent manner. She lifted so much the weight off my shoulders while simultaneously providing the support and encouragement I needed the most. After we filed and sent out the forms I was prepared to wait for a long time to get an answer, however to my surprise Diana received a result in under two months! I couldn’t believe that in my complicated case the whole process took only few month to resolve! I am eternally grateful to Diana for her help and I would highly recommend her, no matter the complexity of the case, she has proved to be an outstanding, professional with a kind heart and impeccable practices!

“I almost felt like she was a close friend or a family member helping in a time of need”
There are times in your life when you need a legal representation. It’s unfortunate, but it’s the way it is. I have never been a big fan of attorneys until I met Diana Romanov*. My first impression was that she was a very knowledgeable attorney. Every detail was explained. Different options were clearly stated. Never once I felt that she was pushing me to make choices that I did not want to make. Everything was done at the highest professional level. Phone calls were returned promptly. Appointments were always kept. All the filings were done in a timely manner. I almost felt like she was a close friend or a family member helping in a time of need. I recommend her without any reservations and with an open heart.

“Would I recommend Romanov Law to my closest friends or relatives who needs family question to resolve? Absolutely!"
Andrew M.
Found Diana through a personal referral and then also by recommendation from another decent lawyer, who was too busy at the time to work on my quite strange case around Christmas/New Years holiday season time.
Hiring a reliable attorney is never easy. Before coming to Romanov Law, did my homework and spoken with at least 5-6 other family law attorneys, and thoroughly studied publicly available information (reviews, State Bar Licensing status, etc) and found that Diana is Owner and Senior attorney at her Firm with nearly two decades of experience in Europe and States. Yes she is fluent in English, German (Deutsch) and Russian. Later also learnt she is also supported by a team of her knowledgeable legal professionals to take on the challenge. They are prompt and knowledgeable, compassionate and understanding, quick to grasp the main concepts, identify the infliction points and built a well explained strategy and execute on that plan.
From what I’ve observed all their actions are typically synchronized with client every step of the way, however I as a client also had to come up to speed in also understanding these matters, asking questions, comprehend, study the case papers and actively participate in the process and decisions we had made. Drawing on that experience I believe active participation and collaboration is the key to success!
Since things were moving too fast at the head spinning pace and we had to prepare quickly and file lots of paperwork in a short period of time.
As with any legal matters there are many things that come up unexpectedly and catch you by surprise, and Romanov Law team was well suited to respond and provide ample support, attack strategy and defense.
Billing was received weekly, all through digital statements. I must note their office processes are pretty modern and most if not all of the paperwork and processes were fully digitized and electronic. From my prior experience some of more experienced and mature attorneys usually don’t embrace modern practices and that causes confusion, missed deadlines and slow down. This wasn’t the case here.
At this point we are in the finishing phases of our winning case and I believe this would have been much different outcome had I not contacted Diane and her team. One thing that I could say – she although she is a soft spoken and calm, Diana has an innate ability to think outside the box and see/do things other attorneys fell short of.
Would I recommend Romanov Law to my closest friends or relatives who needs family question to resolve? Absolutely!
I have to admit probably like most normal people I don’t enjoy dealing with this insanely legal stuff fighting off psychos empty accusations, however having a support of a good strong and understanding lawyer team was alleviating most of the legal and emotional pains.
But even the best lawyers are not gods – you shouldn’t forget it is your case after all and it is your responsibility to comprehend and participate with support of a well prepared lawyer team who is instrumental in getting your best results possible.Hope this helps.
Best of luck in your legal endeavors!Ramya B. Fremont, CA
A Tenacious Advocate in the Pursuit of Child Support Justice
The world of family law is fraught with emotional strain and legal complexities. Yet, in the midst of this tumultuous landscape, I found a stalwart advocate and a pillar of strength – Diana, our extraordinary family lawyer.
Six years ago, my life took a tumultuous turn, leading us down a difficult path in the pursuit of child support for my two children. I had bad luck with some lawyers in the past who had damaged my case and I lost faith in lawyers and I had decided to self represent. The trial date was already set and many lawyers turned me down due to various reasons.
Decided to reach out to Diana, she quickly understand my case and was ready for the challenge. I really admire her strength and willingness to fight for me with only a few days left to prep she jumped on my case and fought with all her might. She was my angel in disguise.
From our very first meeting with Diana, I felt an immediate sense of relief. Her professional demeanor, accompanied by her empathetic understanding of our situation, assured us that she was committed to our cause.
Diana embraced my case, a complex trial with an obstinate judge, a cunning opposing counsel, and a deceitful ex-husband, with a unique blend of tenacity and tact. Her preparation was meticulous, her strategy impeccable, and her execution flawless.
Her impressive expertise in child support law was evident in how she maneuvered through the obstacles. Faced with my untruthful ex-husband, Diana proved to be a tireless advocate, always ready to challenge inaccuracies and fight for the truth. Her commitment to honesty was a beacon of hope in the face of falsehoods.
The communication throughout this lengthy process was unparalleled. Diana kept me informed at every stage, ensuring I understood all legal proceedings and developments. She was very responsive and easily reachable .
Her calm reassurance and absolute transparency helped ease our worries, providing much-needed comfort during a challenging period.
However, Diana’s exceptional legal prowess is only half the story. Her true strength lies in the genuine empathy and unwavering support she extended to me as client. It was clear from the start that she did not see me as just another case, but as a family in need of justice.
Diana touched me with her dedication and warmth. If you are in need of a family lawyer who will fight relentlessly for your cause, handle your case with the utmost precision and care, and stand by you every step of the way, look no further than Diana. I regret not finding her sooner.
I wholeheartedly recommend Diana to anyone seeking child support. She is not just a family lawyer, she is a champion for justice and a beacon of hope in the world of family law.
Robert A.
Diana was a tireless advocate for me during the entire process of legal separation and divorce. She was always responsive to my questions, and she was incredibly good at coming up with alternative strategies for solving my problems. Diana’s experience was especially helpful because my ex was uncooperative and was living abroad during much of the time leading up to the divorce. I could never have achieved a positive outcome without Diana’s expert guidance and assistance. Thank you, Diana!
Ashhley C.
Diana is TOP NOTCH. She took the time to listen and understand my situation from beginning to end. She was highly knowledgeable about custody, the San Francisco courts, and how it works when substance abuse is part of the problem. Diana attempted to avoid court by thinking outside the box and suggesting creative solutions to come to an agreement without driving up costs, which I appreciated. Diana guided me through the process and advocated for me and, most importantly, my daughter. She counseled me on the law, and safety concerns and gave excellent advice and guidance. She’s considerate, whip-smart, and will fight for what is RIGHT, which is what you want in a lawyer. I can’t recommend her enough!

My case still open, but I most to say that after close to 6 months of working with Diana and Katy I’m super happy! They responsive really care about you and do only what in your favor. My case is super complex but I know that-with this team we will win ! Will keep updated.

In addition to being a highly knowledgeable and experienced certified family law specialist, Diana is a master negotiator who thinks outside the box. Diana treats each client with respect and care and is responsive to client needs. She is also an expert mentor.

Years ago I imprudently agreed to having a small percent of time with my children after a high-conflict divorce, not realizing how difficult it would be to get that time back with them. Diana not only successfully helped me get the custody rights I was seeking, but stay away orders revoked (from an accusation with no proof), and a right of refusal implemented.
For years now I’ve learned to always take the higher road, so it was important whoever represented me had a similar mindset, which I believe Diana has. Not only is she honest, she’s sharp, attentive, and super responsive, Diana could even help shift my perspective to positive from negative on those days I felt deflated. The direction she gives is straight as an arrow, which with a sometimes scattered mind like mine, was super helpful.
If you’re in the midst of dealing with a toxic situation, I highly recommend Diana who can help you navigate through the rough waters and give you some peace of mind. I’ll be forever thankful for her hard work and creative problem-solving skill set.

After days of reading reviews of many divorce attorneys in finally decided to hire DIANA ROMANOV*. Can’t say enough how great DIANA was thorough the entire divorce process, she was so considerate and walked me through with every question I had , I am so proud I hired her as my divorce attorney. The experience was better than I could hoped for, she was warm, very friendly, very smart , very very professional. I can not recommend her more highly. I would highly recommend DIANA to anyone needing an Divorce Attorney, because she treat her clients with respect, she is very knowledgeable and also approachable. Her fees are reasonable and she always has her clients best interest at her heart. I had a very difficult situation in my divorce, I could not be more pleased with her skills and efficiency that DIANA displayed throughout the process. I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT DIANA SHE HAS REALLY MADE MY LIFE EASIER. I trust her will all my legal needs from now. If I had a chance I would definitely give her 100 STARS I just want to say THANK YOU WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME.

I found Diana online. When I called her she was on vacation and took my case. Working with her was super easy. She understood how to handle my situation pretty fast. I’m got my life back and can finally move on with my life. Thanks Diana for being compassionate and make my case easier than I thought, and at a reasonable price! The best of all: I haven’t even met Diana. She did everything online for me! Fast, efficient and worth every penny. Pretty cool.
Daria M.
Diana is very professional, bad ass attorney! She knows answers to my every question. She always promptly answering to my emails and phone calls not like other attorneys when you are waiting days to get a call back! My case was simple, but I referred my friend who was going through very complicated divorce. Her husband took passports of their children, and was hiding his earnings. Diana was able to solve everything, she went to court and won! She also speaks German and Russian, so me and husband never had a communication problem with her. I would recommend her to anyone!
Lev B.
I was falsely accused of domestic violence, and because of the sheer magnitude of the accusations decided to skip a chancy, quick hearing and take the case to trial. Diana recommended that we bring a trial attorney, and provided an excellent reference (Marc Stimpert of https://www.yelp.com/biz/lunski-and-stimpert-llp-san-francisco-2). Diana and Marc worked well together and won the trial. The judge clearly respected them. After 6 days of trial we won the case, entirely. I highly recommend Diana for complicated divorce situations.
Michael V.
Diana helped me with my divorce fillings. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful, answering my questions, setting expectations and accurately filling papers in court.
Viktar R.
My brother recommended me Diana to handle my divorce case and after initial consultation I decided to hire her. That was the best decision I could possibly make! Diana is a great negotiator, she helped me to settle the case with my ex. She guided me through this very stressful process while my ex was switching lawyers like crazy. Diana was very helpful in addressing my questions (and I had tons of them!), she was always there to talk and answer my emails. Diana is very professional and knowledgeable attorney with a good sense of humor (very important in stressful situations!). I highly recommend her to everyone!
Tatyana P.
I contacted Diana after my case got to a level where mediation wasn’t an option anymore. She was referred by a few different lawyers who knew her, and endorsed her strongly. After having seen her in action in court in a different case, I knew Diana was a good fit for my case because she had the right amount of strength and perseverance needed. She developed strategy to get the results I was hoping for, involved a team of professional support necessary to achieve it. Although the four day trial was not easy, I felt in good hands throughout the process. The judge finally made the order. I know that I’d not have gotten the same results if I did it without her on my side. Thanks Diana for all the hard work you have done!
Helen D.
Diana is a really good lawyer when it comes to presenting your own interests. She helped me with the prenuptial agreement that seemed to be a simple one at the beginning. When she started digging into it (after receiving the initial draft from my husband’s lawyer) she caught a lot of details that I would never thought of. Now I feel pretty safe and confident to signing it after Diana revised it, and asked the other lawyer to update it. Another benefit from working with her is that she is a pleasant person:).
Tony T.
relieved and happy to have had the opportunity to receive her help and service.
Whenever I had questions regarding my situation, Diana was very responsive, and always provided thorough answers and additional advice. She is very knowledgeable and makes sure to provide utmost protection to the client. Communication was very clear and easy.
In addition, Diana could provide her service despite my calendar constraints. She was very efficient and I’m very satisfied.
Diana is very professional, very friendly and easy to talk to. She brought us peace of mind.
I would definitely recommend her.
Dana C.
I found Diana online. From our first meeting on I had a gut feeling Diana was the right person to complete my divorce. Her price was very reasonable. She responds very fast within a few hours. She has lawyers covering for her when she is not around too, which is very convenient and I haven’t seen it with other firms very often. Most importantly, my entire process was done within couple of months of meeting Diana. She is an incredible communicator, and get things done without complicating it. In fact, she was able to simplify a complex divorce process and finish it with no time. Diana is amazing!!!! Thanks again for having done such a great job.

There are a so many professionals working at this field and you can find good professionals for different purposes. This attorney is simple a LAW GIANT and she’s the type of professional you retain and keep it for a lifetime. She’s extremely knowledgeable But what differentiates her from the crowd is her ability to make you understand subtle particularities that might impact your case in a very significant way. She’s designed to be an attorney and I found characteristics in her that I always envisioned but couldn’t find in any other professional. She looks at the Law as chess game and she seems relentless to set the pieces to create the most favorable income. Most of attorneys will use client’s emotions to overcharge fees and drag litigation. This is another difference you will find in her: she has an ability to maintain her rational mind in a setting full of deep and raw emotions. She’s an investment which is a rarity to find in Family Law. After over a decade on Yelp I’m writing this review in the hopes it will stumble on clients in need of a well done representation. Her office staff is quiet and efficient. She’s very sharp and effective. My only deep regret was not finding her earlier.
Chris S.
I was looking online for a professional, reasonably priced and quality lawyer at the same time. I found Diana among other lawyers on yelp. After talking to several lawyer’s receptionists, I was surprised at being able to get through to speak to only a few attorneys directly, I was very pleased that Diana was the one picking up the phone herself and answering all of my questions on the spot. It’s hard now-days to find an approachable quality lawyer who takes the time for their clients. Diana handled the matter professionally with utmost patience and respect, it was a delicate non contentious matter. She responded to my multiple questions and points over several weeks of back and forth with the other side, on the same day each time, if not the same hour. Thank you Diana and keep up the good work!
Cyrus F.
At first I was very skeptical to hire a lawyer who I found online. I read some good reviews, and decided to give it a try. Diana was quick to respond, and easy to deal with. I had some contractual twists that weren’t so simple. Diana explained it to me from all angles. She heard out my concerns and proposed changes accordingly. I think she was one of most creative lawyer when it comes to finding the best solution for her client. She is definitely an outside of the box thinking type of lawyers I ever met. She thinks things several steps ahead considering my best interests, and potential concerns before I even thought of it myself. I’m really impressed the way she handled my case. I’d definitely recommend her to my friends and family.
Fen Z.
A good friend found Diana on yelp. My case seemed complicated at first. I had some issues communicating and settling with my ex. I was very stressed out and did not know where to even start. When I contacted Diana I felt at ease right away, and that I can trust her expertise. Most importantlyI felt safe. She is very professional, smart, and explained exactly all options available how to resolve my marriage with least amount of cost and stress. She took my case over, and within a month the case was settled. Everything at a flat rate on top. I still can’t believe it is possible. She was able to find a way to communicate with my ex effectively and move things forward very fast. If I had problems in the future, I would definitely seek to Diana for help.
Gery C.
Diana is EXCELLENT. She helped me with a sensitive custody matter, and I was prepared to have her help me and take things further. I ended up resolving directly with my ex-husband, and didn’t require her services. I found her to be responsive, very smart, and warm and down to earth. I would absolutely have her as my attorney in the future if I needed help again, and I highly recommend her.
Josh D.
Diana is an excellent choice if you are facing a family law issue. I have referred clients to her and would not hesitate to do so again. She is very intelligent, hardworking and persistent. She has the special ability to think outside the box and find creative solutions to issues facing her clients. Plus she’s multilingual (English/Ukranian/German).
Miguel W.
Switching to Diana as my divorce lawyer was a game-changer. Her expertise, especially in immigration/ annulment matters related to the i-864 affidavit of support in family court proved indispensable.
Diana’s unique understanding of Eastern European culture and her empathetic approach were pivotal, considering the challenges I faced due to the abusive nature of my marriage.
Changing lawyers made a world of difference. Diana’s sharp negotiation skills and deep comprehension of my situation were evident. She countered the opposing side’s demands skillfully, leading to a settlement that spared me a significant financial burden.
For intricate divorce situations, especially tied to immigration, Diana is the advocate to have by your side.
Javier G.
I know for a fact, that Diana is very knowledgeable and experienced lawyer, who with no doubt will achieve the best results defending your case using her superior knowledge and skills in family law. Her professional skills and ability to establish a trusty relationship with a client, as well as her human willingness to help your struggle, made me choose Diana as my defender. And sure well, it’s end it up being a pleasant experience, with a wonderful outcome. I am deeply grateful for everything that Diana has done for me, in resolving my divorce case and returning me to a single status on a very toughly negotiated conditions that’s satisfied both, me and my ex counterpart. Diana is still in the process of defending me in the child custody battle, which went along side with a divorce that’s just ended, I do have a strong belief, that with such a blessed guardian from heaven like Diana, I will outcome another tough barrier in my life without any fear. There are not to many lawyers out there that will take care of you and treat you the way that you would want to be taken care of and treated. Diana always pays great attention to all the details in your case, provides steady guidance throughout the whole process, motivates you emotionally, even when you starting to think that the sky is falling down and the world is coming to an end. Diana is simply great, communicating with her and taking her smart knowledgeable advices was a great pleasure. I am deeply thankful that I was able to discover Diana to rescue me during a rough and difficult period of time in my life.
For people who is seeking for help to overcome a temporary turbulence in their lives related to the family law disputes, I would insist to look no further and to choose Diana as your defender, that’s if you would like to succeed in battling your case without going trough discomfort, fear and stress that are typically present and accompany you in divorce situations. Diana will motivate you, lift your self esteem, and together you will bond to create a strong mechanism that will crash and dissolve any toughest obstacles in your life path !

Uliana P.
I’m going through a tough divorce. The other party is represented by a big law firm. With Diana’s help and support, I won 100% of motions so far. She is really brilliant, very sharp but also caring and understanding. I highly recommend Diana’s services.
Diana is very sharp and efficient. She helped me tremendously with the preparation of a discovery…
Asma A.
Diana Romanov* provided all the help I needed in my child custody issue. She replied to my emails on time, made time to listen to my concerns, and provided me with a realistic expectations of what to anticipate in my case. She guided me through all the obstacles I faced during this time period. Before going to Diana, I contacted another attorney who sugar coated my child custody matter, and took a long time to respond. But upon meeting Diana for the first time in consultation, I connected with her immediately. Her sense of practicality drew me to her.
Tania H.
Ms. Diana is an absolute gem! I came across one of her family law videos on YouTube. I considered representing myself after losing my case with a previous attorney. Luckily, I decided against it. I booked a consultation with Ms. Diana. She knew all of the ends and outs on how to deal with a difficult ex-spouse. I loved that she practiced law in another country, She knows the law, how to communicate the law in court, and that she too, is a mother. So, she has the knowledge and understanding on how to fight for what’s right, whether its custody, visitation, or spousal support. She reassured me that she would do the best she can (previous attorney did not), she was the calm to my stress, she responds promptly to emails, and she sends weekly invoices so I knew where my money was being applied. Ms. Diana is badass and she helped me win my case!! Not to mention, she’s easy on the eye (that’s always a plus) and she’s smart! At the end of it all, I realize I cannot let the cost of an attorney deter me from seeking justice for my children and my sanity. I highly recommend that you at least book a consultation with Ms. Diana. She’s well worth it!
Lizabella N.
Diana has been been a great help for my case. I appreciated her patience, knowledge and her professionalism. I loved working with her and I would highly recommend her. I’m impressed that she speaks 4 languages, she has two law degrees and is internationally versed. When I was looking for lawyers, she was looking for the qualities above. She met my expectations and resolved my matter with ease. Thank you, Diana
Anna N.
Diana is a great lawyer. She is one of not so many who truly cares about her clients. She is responsive, smart and able to find solutions outside the box.
Ekaterina B.
I am a divorce attorney who practices law in Santa Clara County. I routinely refer cases to Diana because I know that my clients will be in good hands. I co-counseled with Diana on cases too and I observed her work ethic and professionalism. Diana is not afraid to take on complicated cases that other attorneys don’t want to take and she knows how to win them. Diana is always there for me when I need a backup attorney and co-counsel. She is a wonderful colleague and a person with a good heart.
Daniel A.
I took Diana as my lawyer to draft a prenup and modify it according to feedback from myself, my partner (now happy wife), and my partner’s lawyer. The process went very smoothly, despite the time constraint we had. (We were to be married within about 6 weeks.) It was a close call, but we finalized and signed on time. My wife and myself are very satisfied with the prenup, and believe that the process helped us become stronger as a couple. With that said, I recommend starting 3 months ahead of the wedding date, because the prenup may require several back-and-forth modifications.
Diana has a youtube channel with extremely helpful informational videos. I highly recommend watching every video that applies to your situation and be educated on the topic. It really speeds things up.
It is also a testament to how much she cares about doing things right and efficiently.
The monetary cost of the whole process seemed a bit high compared to other options, but I got what I paid for: high quality work that cannot be undervalued if the prenup is ever needed to be used. (hopefully not of course!)
Harrison T.
Diana Romanov* is an absolutely amazing attorney and is very intelligent as well as caring.
Olga G.
Diana Romanov* was great and finished everything as promised. She was very responsive to my emails and updating me regularly what was happening. Diana was able to help me from the very beginning to an end in a professional manner. I would strongly recommend her to someone seeking a great divorce attorney.
Anton P.
I thought originally I had an easy divorce situation, but as always things went south. I retained Diana. She helped me navigate through all obstacles and gave some really good advice that resulted in completing my divorce. I was not always following her advice for my bad (listen to your lawyer even if you don’t like to hear it), but she still was able to get things done with the best possible outcome.
George O.
Diana Romanov* helped me with my divorce fillings. She was extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful. She was always a phone away and always answered to email and phone calls, promptly. Thanks Diana for your professional help.
Irene P.
One of the top lawyers in her field. Diana Romanov* is a great listener and definitely thinking outside the box. She helped me to resolve my matter in a cost efficient and fast. I am glad I found her on yelp.com and couldn’t not agree more with the reviews I read, including 44 filtered reviews. She is a gem hard to find.
Alan H.
I cannot recommend Diane highly enough! She is extremely thorough and it was clear from the beginning that I was in good hands. She made certain that she understood the full situation first before coming up with any ideas or strategy.But what I really must commend her for was her “out of the box” thinking that resulted in making the whole process far easier and more amicable for all parties along with being a far cheaper option than any alternative. Knowing that she had my interests in mind on all levels was priceless. Thanks again Diana!
Tania M.
I had an international divorce and tried to find internationally qualified attorney who is fluent in 2+ languages.I am glad that Diana agreed to be my attorney and advocate for my best interest. She is very well organized, reachable, responsible.
In my case she was the one who was able to think outside the box and step into hard negotiations in order to find a right solution for me.Also it was very important that she understood Russian law and therefore she was able to better resolve an issue and represent my interests.
I still continue working with her regarding my divorce documents and despite of 6 000 miles and 11 hours difference she provides full support for my case.
I highly recommend her as an attorney who always is on your side and advocate for your best interest.
Carl H.
Diana was very knowledgable and easy to work with. She customised a prenap to be valid in California and Germany. All within 3 weeks.
Very responsive and always to reach.
Thank you!
