A capable attorney with a strong reputation

Diana Friedman handled my complex divorce and property division. Her 34 years of experience and recognition in the Dallas legal community, like her Lawyer of the Year award, were evident in her strategic advice. She knows family law thoroughly. However, communication was sometimes slower than I expected, with responses taking several days during critical moments. While the legal outcome was solid, the process felt more transactional than I had hoped. She is undoubtedly a skilled attorney at Goranson Bain Ausley, but managing client expectations on availability could be improved.
