Diane is divine!! She was the best that could have happened to our case. She is brilliant and very wise, and best of all, she treated us with care and empathy. I appreciated she was straightforward and honest about our possible outcomes to our specific situation, but the results were much better than what we expected.

She’s the best at her job and very professional. Diane is willing to go above and beyond to help you get the best possible outcome! Appreciate all the hard work she does for her clients!

I had been searching for a attorney that could represent me properly in my legal defense and after several interviews with prospective attorneys I came across Diane Bass she understood my case and presented herself in such a strong and confident way she won me over. Over the course of my case she would prove her worth. She mounted a very strong defense which assisted my case well, in the end I came out very well in reality I came out the best of the 31 Individuals involved I would recommend Diane to anyone facing legal issues especially criminal. I have since recommended her to a friend and I believe she will do an amazing job for him in his case. Thank you Diane!

Diane is a friend of mine and I am so impressed by her professionalism to her clients that thought to do a review on google. If I could be guaranteed to have an attorney like Diane for every occasion that called for legal advice, I’d be rest assured to receive stellar outcome on the merit of my attorney’s dedication. Diane treats everyone like family and THAT is unique all by itself.

Ray McMahon was phenomenal in helping me get through an issue and false allegation I was facing. I recommend him without reservation.

Wrong place at the wrong time, 10 year mandatory minimum? No way, not if Diane is representing you!!! In 2013 you were my lawyer representing me in the most critical time of my life , today in 2021 we have now been friends turned family !! Thank you for all your continued support for my family and I , you will always be a part of our lives!!!

I’ve worked with Diane for many years as an interpreter, assisting her with her Spanish - speaking clients. She takes her cases seriously, works hard, gets good results and cares deeply about the people she represents.

I am very grateful for being referred Diane during my “situations” she made things very clear for me and helped give ease of mind during my hearing. She’s extremely knowledgeable and got me prepared to have best outcome. Highly recommended

Just wanted to say thank you to Diane Bass for her expertise during a criminal charges nightmare for one of my loved ones last year. Diane made court calls, house calls, weekend texts, spoke with the family, and made sure to explain everything that was going on. She helped everyone navigate through the emotions, and get to the result we were looking for: the criminal charges dismissed. During an uncertain time Diane was able to untangle not only the mess of the case, but also the mess of the court system during covid. She got our case resolved as fast as possible so we could move forward with life. Diane is the prefect mix of gentle understanding and fierce action you’ll need if you find yourself dealing with the OC court system. She was able to leverage her long-standing relationships in the courthouse, and her shrewd knowledge of the law, to get a positive judgement we are very grateful for. Highly recommend Diane for anyone stuck dealing with an Orange County criminal case. She will put your anxiety at ease and get you through the tangled system.

In early 2020, just as the Covid-19 pandemic was ramping up, I experienced a mental health crisis at my home in Orange County, California that left me mentally, emotionally and physically traumatized. Facing all the challenges the rest of the world was facing while struggling to process all that had happened personally over those few days in February and facing unwarranted but serious felony charges from law enforcement for “assault on an officer and resisting arrest”, I found myself in need of a high profile defense attorney. Without bloating this review with all that happened during the crisis and my experiences thereafter, it’s been the most challenging year of my close to 40 years on earth. After meeting with 4 defense attorneys and against pressure from family or friends to use their referral, I chose to work with Diane Bass for a variety of reasons. Without question, I made the right choice. It wasn’t an easy decision for me, I felt I might be more comfortable with another attorney I had met, that was also a bit less expensive, but something told me Diane was the one. I’m very sentimental in all that I do, I want to work with people that are interested in taking the time to develop relationships. My first impression was that she’s very experienced, no nonsense, knows the law, how the system works and was very busy as a result. I quickly realized that she exceeded even those first impressions but also cared very much about my story, needs, and was sensitive to how challenging the process can be for her clients. A couple times she’d sent me an encouraging text, news article etc. that I needed just at that moment. I had this same experience with every professional referral she offered through the process. I’ve never felt so vulnerable and lost in my life. Without my faith in her resume’ and her professional encouragement, I can’t imagine how I would’ve made it through this process. Lock downs, courts being closed and even a deeply personal loss Diane experienced during the past year of my court process created unique challenges and she navigated it all perfectly. All charges are being dismissed, I can move on with my life and somehow feel gratitude for all of it. Whatever you’re going through that’s forced you to seek counsel, I’m confident Diane will achieve the best outcome you could hope for.

I highly recommend Diane if you are dealing with legal troubles of your own. Since this being my first Federal offense, I had know idea what to expect. I was extremely anxious. After talking to Diane, I felt like she was the attorney I needed to help me get through these challenging times. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law was comforting. She explained the charges thoroughly. Diane was prompt when I had questions or concerns with my case. With her expertise, I was able to avoid a prison sentence and instead was enrolled in a drug program, CASA. She even went above and beyond in helping me get my State case resolved. Thanks again for everything Diane. You are truly a life saver!!

Diane’s work is 2nd to none, was charged with felony DV and after working with one firm in Irvine that did absolutely nothing. I did some hard research and found Diane and she worked quickly and diligently and got the case dismissed. I absolutely don’t foresee me needing a criminal lawyer down the road but if I do, it’ll be Diane hands down!
