I would not recommend this lawyer

Diane did an outstanding job with my divorce in 2012-13 and Lindsey has done an outstanding job on my 2017 -18 modification issues.

Atty. Dianne Butler and her staff were helpful and responsive to all my questions and concerns. Shr negotiated on my behalf and was tough when needed. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Highly recommended.

This is regarding Lindsay Guinn Metzinger. She is unethical. Please beware. She cares only about money. She hounds me and froze my retirement, half of which was supposed to go to my ex, but ignores the fact that the judge ordered the ex to pay for back taxes. I am currently paying back taxes alone and sinking deep. I would like to believe she is in contempt of court order for refusing to to do what the judge ordered.

Dianne and her staff were very professional and very helpful during my divorce proceedings. I could not have asked for a better attorney to look out for my best interests during this difficult time. I highly recommend her services!

Poor communication with clients and among themselves. They became vindictive about any feedback. Will update if they comment or make any contact.

Lisa and Associates have been very helpful and pleasant. Lisa and Jessica have made this very easy for me. I would recommend Dianne Drew Butler and Associates services.

The people in the front seemed out of it at times like they where on drugs. I wouldnt trust this people at all. I walked out.

The 30 minute consultation was very helpful, and the attorney was understanding and kind.

I went in to the sit down meeting with Dianne, told her about my case, and that I didn't want to use the same lawyer I had before because her retention fee was 2,500 she "said you should have used us our fee is only 1,800".
Beware this is a lie Dianne and her associates charge for every email, every phone call, and any time you speak with them. We settled a child support case with the other party before ever going to court, and her firm sent me 1,890 bill stating I used up my retention fee. THE ONLY THING I DID WAS ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS FOR THE CASE!!!!!!!! YOU SHOULDN'T CHARGE ME FOR COMMUNICATION!!!!!!!!!!!

Great service, I strongly recommend this office to anyone in need of family law services.
Number 1 in Northern California

She wasn't worth hiring for a man getting divorced.

Professional, comfortable environment. Knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend.

This service sucks and is way over priced!!!

Better human beings in the deepest depths of hell.

Lisa helped me through a bed difficult time. It was helpful having someone who could put together a good settlement.

Best lawer in town

Have to say it was one of the better experience as ever dealing with an attorney she was very professional at first I was questioning everything until I saw my attorney and action and she was worth every penny and I think I saved a penny $70,000 to be exact thank you very much Diane I recommend nice attorney to anybody who needs her because she's a pitbull

Dianne is in my opinion the best in San Joaquin county! She is professional, passionate, feisty when she needs to be and cool as a cucumber in the court room. I retained Dianne about 6 years ago for custody/ move away issues. Their many reasons why I think so highly of Dianne, but one is that she doesn't sugar coat anything. You need to help her, help you. Believe me when I say, she is a beast in the court room in a professional way of course. This week I had called the office to have a consultation with Dianne. They got me in that week, and talking with Dianne was so refreshing and made me feel so much better about representing myself next month. I live on the California Oregon board so to retain Dianne doesn't make much sense. But knowing I can call and she will advice me is....let me just say I had tears of joy in my eyes when I hung up with her. I could go on and on but I will stop here ;)

My review is specifically for Ranette. I have had limited dealings with Dianne but was extremely impressed with Ranettes ability to straddle empathy with professionalism. She was honest and upfront with us and above all was someone we felt we could trust with our sensitive dealings.

Good attorneys for divorce

I used Dianne Drew Butler & Associates for my divorce. Her company was very professional and helpful. We were in a collaborative situation and Dianne worked tirelessly to come up with ideas and solutions to move the divorce forward. Apparently my wife didn't like the direction the divorce was going so she decided to fire her attorney. Because we were in collaborative (by law) I too needed to hire another attorney. I feel Dianne is excellent negotiator but in the collaborative process you can't accomplish anything without two "yes'" from each of the parties and my wife wasn't willing to budge on anything....

Dianne and her team were very good at explaining the complicated issues surrounding my divorce. Dianne helped to close our family business informing me through each and every step. She also assisted in a tough child custody battle which resulted successfully.

Beware! If this is your first Divorce, and you were an at home mother for most of the long term marriage, Dianne is not for you. Even though my ex said that he knew he had to pay, Dianne continually refused to request the Judge order payment from him, never explaining to me why. He has a great paying job, and I couldn't get hired because I had been out of the work force for so long. Plus, Dianne was fully aware of the abuse my son and I endured from this man. I had to take out a loan in order to pay her, and have just recently been able to pay it off. Still driving a car that needs a new transmission, hoping it will last. But what really got me is how, when in Court, I had to watch her rub the back, and massage the shoulders of my ex's Attorney. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Adding to my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that Dianne was also aware of. But I didn't have the funds to change attorneys. When I expressed my fear of payment, her response was "We can file for Bankruptcy, our office does them." Looking to get more money from me. I never knew the correct questions to ask, and felt in the dark about everything. So be very careful when burdened with the task of seeking an attorney for what can be one of the most horrible parts of life.

I have used Diane on two occasions. I found her be an excellent attorney and was able to achieve the results we needed
