About Diana Santacruz-Maciel
I am dedicated to providing comprehensive and proactive support to your legal practice. My core focus is ensuring that every case moves forward efficiently, deadlines are strictly met, and all pleadings are prepared precisely according to the current case status.
I take pride in conducting thorough legal research, drafting detailed Meet and Confer letters, and maintaining clear, consistent communication with clients.
My greatest satisfaction comes from relieving client stress by helping them get meticulously organized. I excel at preparing and compiling client documents correctly, which is crucial for establishing a strong standing in court. I aim to make the legal process feel manageable for them.
While I am capable of handling Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVRO), my primary passion lies in Divorce and Family Law matters. I find the intricate process of division of property particularly engaging. I genuinely enjoy managing the entire Discovery process, from preparing Disclosures to drafting detailed Property Declarations (often referred to as 'Propertizers'). This work allows me to ensure a fair and equitable resolution for the client.
