Hired Attorney

Telling my wife that she is offered 19 down to 14 yrs in prison for a 3rd degree felony which only carries 2 to 10 is wrong. Refusing to have a mental health evaluation is wrong. Not asking for a bond reduction on a 100,000 cash bond is wrong.Speaking to others without clients permission is wrong. So would you hire this attorney?

Response from Diona
January 14, 2026
Ma'am you have been stating unkind and untrue messages related to me on any website, social media page, email, and telephone you can for the last 30 days. You are not the legal wife of the client I was appointed by the Court to handle a case for. I know you are upset because I have no legally binding obligation to communicate with you as you are not my client. You did not pay me any amount of money to work any case for you. I do not force anyone to do anything we are set for a contested hearing as my client expressed disinterest in the plea offer extended by prosecution. Please review Texas Penal Code 49.09 to get an understanding plea offers prosecutors are well within their rights to offer. I take my reputation very seriously and I implore you to stop spreading falsehoods. I am choosing to exercise grace and mercy but please know that I have added this false review to my file of all of the disparaging communications you have made towards me. I am well aware that hurt people hurt people and I am sorry you and your partner find yourself caught up in the legal system but turning an ally into an enemy is not wise. Defense attorneys always get the blame for predicaments people find themselves in, and we are simply here to help after the fact. God bless you and carry you through this difficult time.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
