Law Office of Diane B. Reul

"I waited almost a year to let the emotions settle but hindsight shows hiring Diane was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. Not only will I regret it forever but the financial impact caused by her representation will affect me negatively for the rest of my life. I should have seen so many red flags but your judgment is clouded during the emotional process of a divorce. One of the first things Diane said to me was that men know from an early age that they will get the shaft in a divorce. What I did not realize was it is attorneys like Diane that will ensure that is what is going to happen to you if you hire them. You should take your time and educate yourself about binding mediation and read other people’s divorce decrees before hiring anyone. There is not a judge in mediation and as long as both parties agree on the terms it can be added to the final decree. So I urge you to interview attorneys let them know the terms you would like in your decree and see how they react. I told Diane what I wanted and she literally would yell at me and argue with me and say over & over this is what the judge is going to do sweetie, like I was sitting in a court room not at a mediation. She had zero regard for what I wanted out of the mediation. I sat in a room for almost 12 hours and wasn’t even given a lunch break or anything to eat. At one point, I left and she came out to the parking lot to drag me back into the mediation. Diane seems to have her own set of guidelines that she will not flex or have an open mind too. If you disagree she will turn very ugly and even threaten to quit in the middle of your divorce process. Trust me if you are a man and your ex-wife isn’t a crack head you should not hire Diane. She will hand everything you worked for to your ex-wife and tell you that’s what the judge is going to do. At minimum save yourself $10,000 and just let the judge do it instead of paying Diane to do the judges job. Diane you should stay off Facebook during mediation and focus on representing your client’s best interest. She missed several things that were slid in on my settlement and when I noticed it, she said “well you signed it sweetie.” She refused to look at my proposed changes to the decree much less suggest changes to the other side. She basically just accepted what my ex-wife’s attorney was proposing. Who she was representing in this case is still a mystery to me. Steer clear from Diane she does not represent anyone's interest but her own jumping from one mediation to the next ruining peoples lives! This is a real review from an actual client in 2018 speaking the truth about my experience using Diane in my divorce and I urge you to take this review seriously. Update: 5/10/19 - I am in another lawsuit with my ex wife due to the sloppy decree Diane signed off on. Update: 8/13/19 - As I am further away and living with the results from Diane's services. I stress if you are the man in the divorce you need to really get Diane's opinions first as she treats her opinions as law which is not the case in a mediation setting. Hiring her is the biggest regret of my life. Update: 2/21/24 - I am amazed at how far reaching this women's opinions and biased have continued to negatively effected my life. Steer clear of this women guys trust me!"

"Board Certified Family Lawyer, Diane Reul, with more than two decades of experience, is a hard working advocate. She knows how and when to fight, and also, how to get the best possible resolution for her clients. Her work ethic is beyond reproach. I highly recommend Diane if you need a skilled attorney on your side."

"As a client, one of the most important requirements I expected the firm to deliver was that the attorney be an effective listener, communicator and extremely knowledgeable around family law policies in Texas. Most importantly , I wanted an attorney who genuinely stood behind me and would be a true advocate for my needs. Diane Reul met and continues to meet these expectations and more. She is a trustworthy attorney that I will have around for all my family law related needs for years to come ."

"I'm the father of 1 of her clients. Of course I ask to see my child. And my sons mother tells me to contact Diane directly. I call Diane and greet her very gentleman like. Almost immediately her tone and persona comes out. She begins yelling over me and tells me she needs to speak to my lawyer. Do NOT hire this lady. She will make you look very bad, there is a reason she has such terrible reviews."

"It has been over two years since i have used diane, so it is not my emotions influencing my review.I regretted using diane, the day after my final mediation. Which I was not allowed to attend. I met with diane the day of mediation and specifically told her what I wanted. I told her I did not want any amendments added, the the final mediation agreement. She went against my wished and the my ex wife's attorney added a changed to the final mediation agreement. With diane's approval, but against what I had wanted. That change in the final mediation agreement, almost cost me $210,000. I had to hire another attorney, and it ended up costing me a year of my life and $45,000.. When i hired the new attorney, i realized how complacent, arrogant and negligent she was with my divorce. I was always on the defense in my divorce, i found later it was because diane's main focus was on her daughters or personal life. I read on a another review about diena denying she used Tinder.. She was on Bumble dating app, that's is where she met her Army veteran boyfriend. I knew all about him and her daughter, because that is all she talked about during breaks. I have to admit, my divorce was a little more complex than most. But I specifically ask diane if she could handle my divorce, and she said of course. I regret hiring diane and i never felt like she was 100% focused on my divorce whenever we met. Her focus and attention was mainly on her daughters and personal life. She seemed always distracted when we had meetings. She would always answer calls, and respond to text during out meetings. Which I thought was very unprofessional. I would recommend anyone going trough a divorce where a company or business is involved to search elsewhere for an attorney."
