Law Offices of Diane M Sternlieb

Diane Sternlieb is one tough lady! I have hired her twice now for two custody disputes and yesterday she was able to accomplish more than I even thought possible at this stage. She's a hard working woman and she's been there done that. She has real life experiences that allows her to understand where her clients come from. She will expect you to put in some work to prove yourself and that was completely alright with me. She's a great attorney to have in your corner during some of the most important/scary times of your life. I will definitely be retaining her again for the next stages of my case.

I don’t know where my daughter and I would be had I not hired the Law Office of Diane Sternlieb to represent me in my divorce. My Husband had been my partner and protector for over 16 years, I thought he was the perfect husband. Then, one day I came home from work and he started falsely accusing me of some really bizarre things. Because of his paranoia and delusional thoughts, he destroyed our marriage. He was verbally, emotionally and mentally abusive at that point. This was his third marriage. He tried to bully me into signing his lawyers divorce papers so that he would not have to pay child support. This was my first marriage and I didn’t have a clue what I should do. The lady helping my husband with the divorce said she could not give me any legal advice since she was working for him but there were several lawyers close by that could help me and that I should have my own attorney look over the paperwork if I had questions. That turned out to be the best advice she could have given me. That’s when I found the law office of Diane Sternlieb.



Diane Sternlieb and her assistant Jesse helped me through every step. They explained that child support was not my money or my husband’s money. It was my child’s money that was needed to take care of her and I did not have the right to short change her just because he was trying to say he could not afford to pay. Turns out, he could afford to pay child support for our child.



Diane Sternlieb is a tough lady who will stand up for her clients. She did not allow my ex husband to bully me during our mediation. I am so thankful that she was in my corner during this very difficult time. Thank you so much for all your help.

Diane and her employees do everything they can to help anyone! Our dog was recently stolen and no one in the surrounding areas would take the case. But Diane did! She was always doing everything she could to make sure our dog came home. Our sweet fur baby is home again with us! Thank you!

I am so thankful to have met Diane M. Sternlieb (Dee) and her staff (Jessie and Abby)! They were the most honest, professional, experienced, responsive, and hard-working people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I met with four other lawyers prior to meeting with Dee and all of them told me the odds were against me regarding child custody, child support, equity distribution, etc. As soon as I walked into Dee’s law office, I knew she would be the one to represent me in my divorce case. I told her my story and she was very honest with me upfront. She immediately had a plan in place and took me under her wing like I was family. I completely trusted Dee’s advice throughout the divorce case and provided everything she needed to do her job effectively. In the court room and in mediation, she did not let me down. I went from being an every other weekend dad, to a father that has 50/50 shared physical and legal custody. She is a strong advocate for fathers who want to be a part of their children’s lives. I would recommend anyone to Dee and her staff when it comes to family law. My children mean the world to me and if it is one thing on this earth that I would fight for, it would be them. I trusted Dee with this challenge in my life and she did everything in her power to make it happen. She will be my family lawyer and friend for life!

Thank's to the Sterlingb law family! I'm so greatful for you guy's for helping me get Sole custody of my two year year old son! I'm a 27 year old African American father and had an awful divorce, Diane and her associate's showed me why their the best group serving Douglas and Carroll county! I got custsody of my two year old son in Douglas county ga where its very ware! She's a pit bull in the courtroom , very affordable ,most of all they genuinely care in your time of need!

I am so thankful for how hard Diane and her staff have been fighting for me through a painful divorce and lengthy TPO proceedings. Diane is a fighter and will protect you as family. Her presence and knowledge in court is unmatched. Thankful a friend recommended her to me. Even the bailiff after the TPO came up to Diane and asked for her card and said if he ever needed a lawyer he wanted to call her because she was so good.

Diane and her staff go the extra mile. She is the bulldog you need in your corner. She knows the laws in and out with her degree as a nurse her compassion for her cliets is unparalleled to any attorney. I was a victim of domestic abuse for years and scared to get a divorce. She was my voice and advocate and fought for everything I deserved. I cannot praise her and her staff enough. If you need a lawyer and team to fight for you, you will find no other that compares to this office.

In February 2014 my EX and I filed for a divorce, He decided he wanted to fight me for full custody so that meant finding lawyers. I started with Daniel M Barns the case went on for over a year he took my money and did absolutely nothing to help me and my case move a long. Then with no warring at all he just dropped my case in march of 2015 because of to much interference from family members as he put it . Quitting was the best thing he did for my case because then I found Diane that was the best thing for my case .. I went in and met with Diane she was really concerned with the amount of time this had been going on with so little that had been done.. She was very straight forward got right to the point and told me exactly what needed to be done in order to win custody of my three kids.. Diane was very caring and understanding she is very trustworthy and very knowledgeable. I was very satisfied with our consultation so I retained her on March 23rd 2015 our court date was already set for June the 8th 2015, she had just six weeks to get my case ready for court and she did just that ... On June 8th we went into court Diane was fully prepared she fought hard and she won my case so now thanks to her I have custody of my children .. I would recommend her if you want a lawyer who is caring and understanding and will work hard to win your case ... Diane is not only a great lawyer she is truly an amazing person as well.. I really enjoyed having her as my lawyer and could not of asked for a better person then her to represent me ...

There are not enough words and kudos for this attorney! I was in a terrible two year divorce from 2006 until 2008. The harassment did not stop at the conclusion of the divorce as my ex-husband made it his mission to start building a frivolous child custody case that also included many items from the divorce where he basically wanted a, “do over.” He filed his case July 1, 2009 and I obtained an attorney. I informed the attorney up front that I could not physically, mentally nor financially afford another 2 year court battle. (Being that I have a fairly good understanding of the law and process, I prepare a lot of the work myself and it is very organized.) However, as of September, 2011 the case was still not settled and the attorney had not even filed my answer to his motion. I was given Dee’s contact information, told she is feisty and takes nothing from male attorneys that think they are going to intimidate her. I retained Dee on September 15, 2011. She was furious at how things had progressed. She immediately filed a motion to dismiss and brief in support, had the case in court on December 12, 2011 and mopped the floor!!! This was a difficult case because my ex is extremely difficult and unreasonable to deal with. Dee had no problem picking up a case that was a mess a quickly turning it around. She has continued to stay in contact and recently represented me on contempt issues from the December 12, 2011 case. My ex is currently incarcerated as a result of the latest case. I always recommend Dee to anyone needing legal counsel. She will treat you fair and fight hard to win your case.

Realizing you need an attorney makes for a scary time; all you hear about is how dishonest and “crooked” so many are. I had the unfortunate displeasure of having dealt with one of these type attorneys before being directed to Diane Sternlieb. Diane was a Godsend! Upon your initial conversation with her staff you will see and feel the difference…they care, they take time and listen...each and every time you call from that point on they listen and care and work to take care of you. Upon your initial consultation with Diane you KNOW you are in the right hands. Diane listens, empathizes, sympathizes, lets you know what can and WILL be done and then gets to work doing just that! You will not find an attorney who takes your case more to heart and makes it more personal than Diane. Diane digs deep into the actual facts of the case, tells you the truth about what will happen and what she can do and then gets it done. If Diane or her staff states something to you, you can take it as fact and comfort in the knowledge that it is not just lip-service. Diane will truly fight for you and will get the results she told you she would. There are still good attorneys out there and we are fortunate to have this GREAT one! Thank You Diane and Jessie!
