Yes, Diane did this in my cases, too.

She violated these and more statutes. She will never admit it. She will always say the professionals are incompetent and unethical, and that the parents are incompetent, mentally ill, or 'thankless' as she said on her rebuttal on this site.

But the truth is, I for one can come forward in any court of law with all of these facts regarding her violations. It sounds like others on this site can, too.

Diane fabricated quotes and paraphrases by professionals, who denied having ever said any such thing to her. She basically 'created' false cases, to make herself look powerful in my opinion.

She also broke off all natural contact with parents and children for years.

She refused any and all contact with the children's psychologist, trying to hide from the court that this doctor insists there was absolutely no child abuse in this case.

She would not let families speak even by phone until large sums of money were paid to her by the first of every month, even though the parents did not earn enough to pay like this. She would not report to the court that these cases should have been pro bono.

No guardian ad litem is allowed to do this. And no attorney guardian ad litem can serve as BOTH attorney and guardian ad litem at the same time for a minor child, as per Florida statute.

She claims in her rebuttal on this site to lecture about guardian ad litem issues. Does she lecture about these?

And yes, she committed these demands in writing to me, too. I, too, don't know why any attorney would put these demands in writing.

Diane remains in complete 'control' of her stories.

Some of her cases never had so much as one evidentiary hearing. She creates her cases based on non-evidentiary status conferences ONLY. And typically with one judge only.

In my opinion, she is not able to be an objective professional. Objectivity is required by statute in guardian ad litem cases.

I ask that future families and pros be careful for the sake of children.
