I cannot recommend Dianya Pu and her paralegal, Gigi Stanley, highly enough. From the beginning of my divorce, I was impressed by how responsive, knowledgeable, and supportive Dianya and Gigi were. They consistently responded to my questions and concerns promptly, and I never felt that I was bothering them or asking a “stupid” question. During what was an extraordinarily difficult and frightening time in my life, they were patient with my fears and always took the time to explain what was happening and what my options were. I was also very pleased with the cost of my divorce. I felt that I received excellent legal representation and support without unnecessary expense, and I always had a clear understanding of where my money was going. Dianya was particularly good at helping me understand both the legal issues and the practical realities of my situation. Gigi was equally responsive and helpful throughout the process, and together they made me feel that I had a team looking out for me. Divorce is never something you want to have to do, but having Dianya and Gigi in my corner made an extraordinarily difficult experience much easier to navigate. I am very grateful for their professionalism, compassion, responsiveness, and support.
