Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.As you read all the reviews you clearly see a pattern. Most of these reviews were posted in an emotional state. It has been a year since the conclusion of my case. I presented 4 years of evidence in my case. Photo evidence of repeated lice, and flea bites / infestations. I presented 4 years worth of 10 tardies / absences per semester. I paid over $60k to an attorney to create presentation to sway Ms. Woods. The ruled against me and would have done worse had I not recorded EVERY SINGLE conversation with her. She got cocky a couple of times in the conversation. It wasn't until it was revealed that I had the conversations that she even remotely started to act decent. Pass on this guardian, she is a first wave feminist that is an excellent manipulator to the uninitiated. I knew early on that she would not come to my side of the discussion at that point it was all damage control.
These reviews make clear we all had very different experiences, but she is consistent in her pattern of making wildly dramatic unhinged decisions. Our divorce went on for 100 years, cost a million dollars, and the end result was so dangerously unusable that we will have the pleasure of continuing it for the foreseeable future. If you're into Russian Roulette, Diane is a good choice.
Diane helped the court grant custody to an abusive meth addict. His family paid for her “services”. She ignored and dismissed all the danger he put my children through and to this day my children are suffering. If a Georgia family law attorney sees this, please help us. Ig @saltwatamami
Ms. Woods was involved in my divorce case. Her recommendation was to split up my teenage boys. As a result she has done emotional damage to the boys. She showed extreme bias in my case. Her sole job is to recommend what’s best for the children and failed to put them and their needs first. I strongly caution any family contemplating hiring Ms.Woods.
If you get Dianne Woods as GAL, relocate! She almost broke up our marriage. We had to move house as I couldn't stand to be there after she'd been in it. As a stepmom to children who live with us, I was told in no uncertain terms I was to play no material part in raising the children, except to clean house and follow orders issued by my husband. Nice example to give two young girls - NOT.{para}I could pay the big fat bill for their Guardian Ad Litem though. That would be just peachy..
Despite coming highly reviewed, I was extremely disappointed with her lack of objectivity. She did not consider all the facts and information that was presented to her by several parties. She made a very skewed recommendation that sided with a sub par parent. By all means, do your research and choose your lawyer carefully.
