Diana is very sharp and efficient. She helped me tremendously with the preparation of a discovery declaration. I used services of a few other lawyers and Diana's consultations were the most productive, to the point, no judgment, just the way I wanted them to be. Diana is very knowledgeable, she is a perfectionist who constantly learns. She knows not just the rules, and the law, but the judges, and how to present your case, your view. I highly recommend her services.

Diana was a pleasure to work with. I had no idea what I was doing in this process and she walked me through it step by step. Everything fell into place as she said it would in a timely matter. Great experience in a not so great situation. Highly recommend

I would definitely recommend Diana Romanovska to anyone who’s in need of the best legal representation during any divorce-related matters and I cannot say enough good things about her, her excellent professionalism, and her expertise. I was cornered into an incredibly unsustainable and unfair divorce settlement by my ex-wife and her lawyer when I could not afford my own lawyer (I was still in still in medical training, working 2 jobs with 2 grown kids, ex-wife unemployed). After I started my career, I hired another lawyer who was able to undo some of the damage that was done, but was very sloppy and left me high and dry following an unjust tentative ruling…. Next, I discovered and hired Diana. She was able to take my “loser case” (that several other lawyers would not) and absolutely turn the entire case around with incisive negotiation skill and cool-headed professionalism (even when I was absolutely not in the right head-space and not able to stay emotionally cool myself). The pendulum swung in my case largely due to her and her creative expertise. She really took the time to listen to me, to do the research, and to really take in and understand the unique situation I was in. She was able to craft a fair, sustainable settlement, one that I wouldn’t have dreamed possible a month before. Through it all, she was honest about what my expectations should be. I am so very grateful to her and I would highly recommend her consultation and services to anyone, no matter the level of complexity, especially to any underdogs like me out there. Thank you Diana!

After receiving a few good referrals from people who probably never used Diana's services, and reading the Yelp reviews on this page I decided to hire her as my divorce attorney.
My case was pretty straightforward and simple, the main reason I needed an attorney was to help me request information on community property (financial assets) which have to be split between me and my ex spouse and then to assist with completing the divorce process.
Diana took a retainer and promised to help me with my case, stating the amount of retainer given should be approximately covering the full assistance with my case.
After 1+ month of our collaboration in the divorce process she used 90% of the retainer amount while the divorce barely had any progress. Most of the invoices I had from Diana show she billed me for the communication with her - she charged me for every short email and text message, quick calls (a few minutes) were obviously charged as well. Also she billed me for the communication with the counterpart of the divorce process. Which obviously he took advantage of by having regular chats and email correspondence with my attorney. I did not know about that before start receiving the invoices.
There were a few things she helped me with - requested subpoenas, that
initially during our first meeting I asked her to do, and prepared a settlement agreement, that had multiple errors and typos, lately those were corrected by another lawyer.
After analyzing the summary of Diana's help in my story, I decided to terminate Diana from representing my interests in the court and ended up our collaboration.
She still has 10% of the retainer amount I paid her.
However, a few months later her office sent me another invoice that was showing they "keep working" on my case and checking the status of the docs filed. It was not something we agreed on and I never asked her to keep working on my case independently from me. That means not only the leftover from my retainer amount was used, but also now Diana expects me to pay another high bill for her "assistance".
As far as I am aware, my experience working with this attorney is not unique. There are customers like me here in SFBA, those who gave their trust and money to Diana and did not receive promised services, but only unreasonably high bills.
I think most of the issues I had with this lawyer happened due to the lack of transparency and unclear billing from her side. Besides that if she set some clear expectations from the beginning and provided with a careful client onboarding - it would be possible to avoid negative experience and multiple disappointments.
If you are looking for a professional attorney to help with your divorce, keep looking and hope one day you find it.

Today, justice was served! Matt, thank you for taking on my case when others turned me away. You fought for me and kept me in the loop every step of the way. My car accident caused me personal trauma, major physical injuries, and left me emotionally scarred for life. I am grateful for Matt! I recommend him 100% for personal injuries and subrogation cases. Check out his YouTube channel, Law Offices of Matthew J. Quinlan. His channel is very helpful and he explains things in such a simple way. It was a long and tough fight, but we won and finally have closure, thanks to you!

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.

When I went looking for legal help, I found that no attorneys wanted to work with my ex wife's attorney, Rachel Castrejon, because she has a reputation for poor ethics and acting in bad faith. (I heard story after story from one attorney after another.) When I called Diana, she was ready for the fight, meaning she was the only attorney I could find in the Bay Area who wasn't scared of Rachel! In the end, I decided to stay pro per, but I used Diana's consulting legal services on two different occasions, for one hour each time. I packed in as many questions and problems as I could, and Diana carefully walked me through my options. In the end, I was able to turn a grossly unfair situation into a very fair settlement that reflects what my kid wanted, and I support that. Without Diana's help, I never could have gotten this outcome and we would have been stuck in court 'til 18. I would recommend Diana for any family court case, especially if you have to go up against a lawyer known for being impossible, deceitful, and downright nasty. Diana can handle it!

Diana Romanovska 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.

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.
