After starting my divorce/custody proceedings with another local law firm who took my deposit and literally did absolutely nothing,I was pretty much at my wit’s ends.I was unlawfully removed from my house and had zero contact with my 7yr old daughter.Needless to say emotions run high in these times.I found Diana through a Google search and made the call.The minute I gave my deposit she went to work.Within days we had a court date and needless to say I was back in my house (with my daughter) in no time.Literally just my daughter and myself.I now have full custody.After having more than one bad experiences hiring lawyers I was skeptical until I gave her my retainer.She literally went to work exactly like she said she was going to.She ALWAYS returns my calls and makes my needs and me feel important.Her team Makayla,Abby,Jamie and others are punctual,professional, and the most important thing…They get results!! God Bless and best wishes for you and your family going forward.

Diana was a referral for a custody case, and I could not have been happier with the referral. She was genuine, and polite but also held her own in court. She was poised and very well organized. She understood what why we needed to change custody and was empathetic to the situation. Diana was very well knowledgeable in our case. She was able to get the other side to come to agreements and very well known by her colleagues. I very much felt like I was in good hands.

I hired Diana and her office to handle a custody modification. I was seeking to obtain full custody of my son, and I definitely made the right choice. I ended up receiving full custody and child support (as a dad I never thought I'd be able to say that) and it was certainly thanks to Diana and her team. Any time I needed to contact their office, someone was either immediately available or got back to me same day. The entire process was expertly handled, and I felt like Attorney Sladen really understood our situation and was always in our corner. She was very clear about what to expect, and also made sure I had reasonable expectations throughout the modification. I would 110% choose her again to handle any legal issue in the future!

Diana brings a level of knowledge to family law that would give any client a sense of comfort, add in her compassionate and understanding side and you’ve got an attorney that take care of you in all aspects of your case. Diana is understanding and compassionate but will never lead you astray or sugarcoat information. She will tell you her honest opinion and advice based on her countless hours of experience. I highly recommend Diana and her team to help manage a stressful time in your life. She was a breath of fresh air and was always spot on with her advice.

Diana managed to get my narcissistic husband to agree to a mediated agreement saving me thousands in court costs. He waivered often but she got it done. She also walked me off the ledge several times with great professionalism.

During a very difficult time in my life, fighting a custody case, I'm so glad I had Diana in my corner! My friend referred me to Diana and told me not worry that she would fight for me like no other. My friend couldn't have been more right. She's knowledgeable & compassionate; but fierce. Child custody cases are scary, confusing and stressful; but, Diana made feel at ease and took the burden of worry from me. The entire team at Sladen & Costigan always made me feel as if this were their fight as much as mine. If you need a family attorney, you need Diana Sladen!

Diana is truly the best when it came to dealing with DCF Fair Hearings. I had hired that Seaver guy out of Boston who is totally useless. He talks big but does nothing. Diana was able to correct his mistakes and set things straight very clearly and easily with DCF in 1/4 of the time and money Seaver charge me for. Shes also very kind, easy to communicate with and not judgmental at all. I 100% recommended Miss Sladen for any of your family court needs. Shes is the best of the best.

Family court cases can be difficult to say the least. Diana was always there whether it be to work on the case or answer my phone calls or even calm me down. She really did go above and beyond and I’m grateful for her AND her entire team, who all seem to work together amazingly in that office. Caitlin wasn’t even my attorney and she was just as great and helpful whenever I needed something. Thank you all!

If you are seeking someone to guide you through what is most likely the most difficult time of your life (child custody), Diana is the best choice that you could make. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, caring, understanding, informative, and willing to go the extra mile. Diana made the terrifying process so much easier, and at times, quite literally held my hand. I could not be more thankful for her! I can't imagine going through it with any other attorney.....and before Diana, I had spoken to a few...none come close in comparison!! Everyone in her office has been amazing start to finish in every way. I can not recommend her services enough! I not only gained an attorney, peace of mind that someone was helping and fighting for me, but also, the results that I needed and what I now consider a friend. Look no further and call Diana....you'll forever be thankful that you did.

Diana Sladen is very empathetic and knowledgeable in her area of expertise. Her approach to her client is very welcoming. She is a strong lawyer with a big heart.

Diana and I were a perfect fit right from the start. After our initial phone consultation, I knew I had found the right representation for myself and my children. Diana was kind and compassionate and at the same time a straighter shooter. She understood the intricacies of my situation and started right away with a plan of action. Every divorce is different, like snowflakes, no two are the same, and Diana treated my divorce as such. She employed strategies along the way to keep things on track. Opposing side unfortunately had hired counsel that wasn’t as on top of things, which made settlement difficult. Diana persevered until the very end, settling much of our case on the day of court. Diana has surrounded herself with a dream team of employees! Every communication, from documents to requests, was responded to on the day it was received. I never had to wonder what was going on, I had everything at my fingertips. Much like Diana, each of her employees and associates treated me in the same fashion. I always knew I had someone in my corner. It’s hard to summarize just what Diana has given me throughout my time with her. I never expected to be in the position of needing a divorce attorney. I am forever grateful for receiving her name as a recommendation, and I hope this review does the same for others in this situation. I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life, and knowing I have Diana for whenever I may need her in the future is comforting. She is not just another divorce attorney; she became someone I can call a friend.

Diana and her partner both assisted in my divorce. The whole office was extremely professional, and always responded to me with any questions almost immediately. Diana was very straight forward and open with me and got my divorce settled fairly easily. She didn’t sit on things and pushed for me when it warranted. I highly recommend her.
