Diane and her team are one of a kind. First of all, unlike a lot of lawyers, Diane is approachable, direct and very responsive to email, phone calls and other communications. Second, if you have to go to mediation or Court, you can put money on the fact that Diane will be better prepared to argue your case and the law than anyone else. Third, Diane really knows what she is doing and can quickly respond to emergencies- even on short notice. Diane gets amazing results and a lot of respect from judges and other lawyers because she doesn't play games and knows how to get things done. If you want to get the most bang for you buck, Diane is who you want representing you.

Diane Cherry is an excellent family law attorney. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and guided me through the legal process, so that I would know what to expect and what I needed to do or not do. She is different from the other attorneys I consulted in many ways: your priorities are hers, she shows you how to make your case less costly, her organizational skills and her level of preparation are unbeatable and her ability to be direct, but kind in a difficult situation cannot be matched. She and her staff respond very quickly to any concerns and are very time efficient. I would highly recommend her for any family law needs.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Diane and Kim for all the care and concern you have shown me, and for working tirelessly to ensure that the law worked in our favor. And Also ,Thank you for the excellent work you did as our attorney. I know you have a lot of clients, so your prompt responses and attention to detail really meant a lot to us.

This review is.100% for you, who says to have years of experience yet purposely avoided serving father in jail since march. That without mentioning the false allegations you raised in superior court and then in juvenile court just to have your case dismissed. All you did was take advantage of the grandparents in a vulnerable situation. You good at delaying, dragging and draining money out of your clients. Grandparents were so happy they switched attorney's?

There is no one better than Diane and you will be truly blessed if you are fortunate enough to have her represent you. Diane and her team are highly professional, honest, patient, hardworking, compassionate, knowledgeable and determined. Only days away from court with one of the most important hearings of my divorce I was losing confidence in my original attorney and scared. I called the Cherry Law Firm in hopes Diane would take my case even though I left her very little time to become familiar with my situation. It was an extremely highly contested and difficult hearing and the safety of my son was at risk. Diane took my case with no hesitation and in that moment I felt we finally had someone who would fight to keep us safe and for the truth. Preparing for court Rachele was amazing and so empathetic at times I felt she knew my life more than I did. Diane and Rachele always kept the focus on the safety of my son and never faltered regardless of the legal games the other party tried to pursue. There were many hearings including protective orders, three year protective orders, contempt, modification, etc It has been 3 years and 3 months since my nightmare began with the most recent hearing last month and due to Diane and her amazing team I am still standing, and standing stronger than ever. It is an honor and privilege to watch Diane in a courtroom. I never doubted for one second that Diane and her team had anything other than our best interest at the heart of every case. Diane fought for my son's safety and future in a way I will never forget and will always be forever grateful. Thank you Diane and Rachele for everything. Words can never express my gratitude nor give you guys the accolades you deserve.

Diane and all of her associates at Cherry Law Firm did an exceptional job in helping me navigate through a complex divorce and custody case. Diane was proactive and knowledgeable during all phases of my case. They did a great job of helping me prepare for hearings. Diane's expertise and negotiation skills were critical in reaching a final settlement that all parties could agree to. I am truly grateful to Diane and everyone at Cherry Law Firm!

Diane Cherry is wonderful for the right price!! I escaped an abusive relationship and saved my children from an alcoholic father. But there's nothing money can't buy ...Diane Cherry fought to have my children taken from their loving, thriving home and are now living in fear with a convicted alcoholic, vengful tyrant and abuser all so she could line her pockets with Granddaddy's cash. She is soulless and calculating which makes her an EXCELLENT lawyer. I would hire Diane Cherry if I had more money than sense and no regard for human vitality....you can have her!!!!

Would give more stars if I couldWhen I called Diane I was lost, scared, and feeling completely helpless. I, a working dad, my ex, a stay at home mom in Cherokee County... 6 months later... I have primary custody and go to bed every night smiling at how favorable the financial agreement is. Diane gave me so much more than just legal counsel, she truly cares. As amazing an attorney as Diane is (the best, no question), she an even better person. I will be forever grateful! Thank you to everyone at The Cherry Law Firm, you are all wonderful! Except you Rachele... it was not okay to steal my heart! :)

Diane worked tirelessly to get an improbable situation to work out in our favor. We were seeking third party custody against a parent. Every attorney we talked to told us it wouldn't happen, but a few relented and named Diane as someone that might be able to help. Her name came up consistently and respectfully among her peers. Diane's advice was invaluable. She combed through the details of the case, worked though the weekend to prepare us for the hearing, and performed confidently in front of the judge and opposing counsel. Many surprises were thrown our way, but we received a quicker than expected and more favorable than expected outcome. My family is very grateful to Diane and staff. I cannot thank her enough.

Cherry Law Firm lived up to their reputation by focusing on what truly mattered to me. Their extreme professionalism on being detailed help me won my case. Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart. Working with me and keeping me up to date throughout the process which led to a great victory. If anything was to happen again I will be seeking your guidance.

Diane Cherry answered the phone when I called her office and that is definitely a rarity. She listened and showed a great deal of attention to my concerns as if I was already a client. Her level of professionalism stood out to me and it was more attention than what I received from my now ex - representation. Although I did not retain the Cherry Law Firm, it was for my own personal reasons. Nothing at all to do with Diane.

Diane Cherry did a great job helping me understand what direction to go with my divorce. She was highly recommended by a friend of mine and did not disappoint. She is very good at what she does and I highly recommend her. Thank you Diane

Diane Cherry is no doubt the brightest and best family law attorney in Marietta and the surrounding areas. I was extremely nervous as I had only met with an attorney for estate planning and tax purposes. She immediately put me at ease with her knowledge and professionalism. She is beyond prepared, and she goes above and beyond to meet the needs of her clients. Her and her team are very prompt in returning calls and emails and upfront about things you can do to save money, which from speaking with other people who were in a similar situation, is highly unusual in a very much appreciated way. I would highly recommend Diane for all areas of family law.

I never thought I would be going through a divorce at my age, and someone recommend Diane Cherry. Diane and her whole staff are amazing. They're the most efficient group of people that I have ever worked with. Every time I emailed or called I would get an immediate response.They would tell me that they would get me whatever info in a day or so, and within hours I would have all the paperwork for my review.If there was to be any changes, It would be corrected within minutes. They blew the opposing attorney out of the water, even though I was the defendant, my paperwork was always completed and filed first.I would highly recommend the Cherry Law Firm to anyone that needs legal help.

Professional, No non-sense yet friendly with heart, very knowledgeable and focused, and SUPER EFFICIENTI went with Ms. Cherry in early May of this year after consulting with 4 other highly rated attorneys. I am extremely glad that I chose her because my daughter is finally living with me. We were both extremely grateful that she was willing to take our case with all of these child support and custodial issues. Before my daughter and I became her clients, we thought we had a very good and strong representation from a very big, powerful, and reputable law firm that was pretty well known in the area. However, after thousands of dollars and 12 months of waiting, we found ourselves very disappointed. I was on a hunt for an exceptional lawyer to move our case forward yet again.That exceptional lawyer we were looking for turned out to be Ms. Cherry. She is a superb lawyer with a superb team. Ms. Cherry and her team (Ms. McKenzie and Ms. Hutchinson) are always on top of everything. They moved our case forward at the speed of light while keeping us up to date with whats going on and making sure we understand every step. Most importantly, they have an outstanding reputation and relationships in the law community, including the judges.After 5 and a half months with her team my daughter is not only living with me, but she is also in a new and better school district. She had finally returned to the happy and worry free kid that she used to be. I am telling you as a parent: no amount of money can buy that feeling and happiness of seeing your child light up with joy. I could also feel that Ms. Cherry was not in it for the money like many other lawyers. I am currently in a very tough financial situation, I am a recipient of SSDI, and her team knows that. They are very conscious of your financial capabilities and I am sure I was underpaying her team for the results we were getting.One thing Ms. Cherry told me that I will never forget is that I did not need a male attorney, but a good attorney, and that is so true. If you are looking for a professional, focused, knowledgeable, confident, experience, caring and friendly lawyer, Ms. Cherry is an obvious choice. And believe me when I say that because I have had my share of different attorneys. With that being said, I would like to say thank you to Ms. Cherry and her wonderful team. My daughter and I will always be grateful for everything you have done for us.

Divorce is not an easy process especially when you have a greedy ex that tries to take everything possible! You need someone that will fight for you! Diane was that person for me! I work for a school system and dont have a six-figure income. Diane and her team made me feel like they fought just as hard for me, as they would have for someone with the six-figure income. Diane and her team listened to what I wanted and made it happen to the best of their ability. I had shared the first thing out of my sons mouth, at the beginning of the separation/divorce process which was, Mom, will we have to move? My response to him was; no sweetie, I have always paid the mortgage and Gran and Grandad gave me the down payment. Well in Ga. that was, in fact a real possibility and may have happened if I had gone with a different attorney! Not only was my house and on the line, but also my retirement, life insurance (Im a breast cancer survivor, back surgery, knee surgery and had a hip replaced) and my pension (not just from the time we were married, but when I retire!). My ex was self-employed teaching tennis. A predominately cash business Thankfully Diane and her team worked tirelessly to prove to the judge I should not have to continue to pay his way in life. She did such a great job the Judge actually said, It is clear that Mr. Williams has not contributed meaningfully throughout the entire marriage. Nine months later, my ex took me back to court. One phone call to Diane and she was by my side fighting for my sons right (he is 16) to choose where to spend his holiday. Once again, when she was done with my ex, the Judge ruled in our favor! If you need a fighter Diane is the attorney you want in your corner!

I am so incredibly grateful to Diane Cherry. I was served at work by my ex who wanted to get full custody of our daughter. There was an emergency hearing in a day and a half later. My teen daughter had signed an affidavit to live with her dad. Diane is very knowledgeable and immediately organized and prioritized my case in very little time. She is very skilled in the courtroom. I won my case and my daughter is now living with me. Diane is also very caring and easy to contact. She answered all my questions not only before my case but afterwards. I highly recommend her!!!!

Diane and her team are amazing, I have delt with alot of attorneys in the past and I have never found one that I trust until now. I'd recommend the Cherry Law Firm to anyone looking for an attorney that will get things done!

Great Experience, Professional that truly cares about clients desires. Follows through on all commitments and goes above and beyond for her clients. Shana is somebody you can trust. I found myself needing an attorney and interviewed 7 different attorneys based on research. Upon Meeting Shana and the staff at Cherry Law Office it was evident they were the team for me and I hired them on the spot. My process lasted around 18 months and Shana was right there by my side the entire time both personally and professionally. She took the time to get to know me and my daughter to fully be able to understand my situation. She is a real person that truly cares. Every time something came up, she always took a consultative approach and reviewed options and possible outcomes of each so I could make a decision that was best for me. She never pushed me to do something one way or the other, but was truly a consultant and followed through on all my requests. Shana and the Cherry Law Office never looked at me as a client, but more as a guest of theirs and treated me that way. Other offices/attorneys constantly talked about billing and was always bringing up bills and such. This was not the case with Shana and the Cherry Law Firm, they were more than fair when it came to billing and I never once during the 18 months felt like I was ever taken advantage of. If you find yourself needing an attorney that will truly represent your needs and carry out your wishes, Shana and the Cherry Law Firm is the place for you. I highly recommend them and will use them for all legal needs I have going forward.

I'm in a divorce case where Diane Cherry would have been my better choice. But I went with a radio ad. ALL law firms are limited by the level of engagement of the individual attorneys in it. A radio ad doesn't speak to the aggressiveness of your attorney. I called Diane Cherry to get a paid, second opinion on my proposed settlement. A consummate professional, she reserved judgment of another attorney, and declined me. But she still assembled the facts on the phone, quickly got oriented, considered everything and gave me a strategy to run by my attorney. Wow! I said how can I pay you? She said just write about your experience. Well there it is. She's my next attorney.

I have never met or retained a better lawyer. Diane Cherry is wise, experienced, extraordinary and effective!I was blessed to have her take over and clear up the mess of a mutual consent divorce gone bad. She made the wrongs right and was able to negotiate the right, legal and necessary course needed to succesfully resolve my case. Even the judge complimented her before ruling on my case. Four years later she and her firm immediately responded effectively to a violation situation that was made by my ex toward my family!If you need the best lawyer, you might be able to pay more but not retain the best! I highly reccommend Diane Cherry Law Firm!

The Cherry Law Firm is the BEST!!! After interviewing several family law attorneys to handle my divorce and child custody case, I came across The Cherry Law Firm.I called their office to set up a consultation meeting with Diane Cherry, and was able to speak directly to Diane over the phone. After explaining my situation to her, she gave me some suggestions on things I needed to start doing right away to help my case. From our phone conversation, I could tell that she was exactly the type of attorney that I needed to have my back, so I met with her for a consultation and hired The Cherry Law Firm on the spot. Diane wasn't pushy and I could tell that she wasn't just in this for the money. She genuinely cares! She is a very competent, assertive, and compassionate woman. My case has been going on since March of this year, and Diane has been there to reassure me the whole time. My ex-spouse was dead set on getting full custody of our children, but Diane worked diligently to get them to consider joint custody, and agree to mediation. I came away from mediation with primary custody and a good settlement thanks to DianeI would HIGHLY recommend calling Diane Cherry for a consultation, and you will know exactly what I mean! You wont be disappointed! I couldn't be more pleased with the choice I made in hiring The Cherry Law Firm!

I hired Diane Cherry to represent me during my divorce this year. I read the other reviews posted on here and would like to mention that Diane is an assertive, no nonsense attorney. She states things like it is. I personally wanted a firm, stern like lawyer. I needed someone that was confident in their own abilities and not a pushover. Diane fit the bill. I am now a single mother to 3 children and although it is difficult, Diane set me up so I don't have to stress so much about my finances at the moment while I get on my feet considering I stayed home for 5 years. She will take care of you. She is smart, knows the law, has been practicing for years, and has probably seen it all. I plan to use her again if ever needed.

I am indebted for life to these people. Diane and her staff are amazing. She not only is a great attorney, but a great friend. I do not know how I would have gotten through many years without them. Rachele McKenzie is a great paralegal, Diane and the rest of her group really stand out in a crowd. I have, and will continue to, recommend this firm to everyone.

Diane is Awesome! Straight to the point and no fluff. She answered all my questions and was always in contact. I contacted a few different lawyers and she was the one and only that called me that day. Do yourself a favor and hire her. She will take great care of you.

From the initial phone consultation through the resolution of my case, Diane was both knowledgeable and efficient. There were days I called and emailed numerous times asking questions, airing concerns, and sometimes just needing to 'talk things through'. I was always treated with respect, given straight forward answers/advice, and the directives we would decide upon together were followed through immediately.

My divorce and custody battle is finally over and I could not be happier with the outcome!!!!After consulting with several attorneys in the metro Atlanta area, I came across Diane Cherry with The Cherry Law Firm. Our phone conversation was very pleasant, personal and warm. I did not get that feeling that I was just another dollar sign for her like I felt with other attorneys. So I immediately scheduled an appointment to meet with her for a free consultation. I really appreciated the fact that she devoted more than 30-minutes to me without making me feel rushed or pressured. This little act showed me she wasn't money hungry trying to pinch as much money out of me as she could and she showed a genuine concern for me and my case. That was the point I knew she would be the one to represent me in one of the worst times of my life! Huge decision I know!!!! She was very upfront with her opinion of my case and did not blow smoke up my behind to win me as a client. She kept her billings very reasonable and accounted for every work conducted on my case; contrary to my ex-spouse's fees which were almost double mine. She was very communicative with me and always answered my questions/concerns promptly and thoroughly.She is very intelligent, highly competent, and the integrity of her work is high quality. When you have so much at stake you need the best protection and representation. Diane will do that for you and so much more! She will not take advantage of you despite the precarious and delicate situation you're in. In addition, she has a very pleasant demeanor and is great to work with. Diane is easy to talk with and made me feel very comfortable to open up about very private and uncomfortable topics and she had no problem speaking with me about any issue tied to my case. I encourage you to meet with her and I hope you feel as at ease and in good hands with her as I did.Good Luck!

The Cherry Law Firm was professional in all aspects during my case. All representatives were knowledgable about the situation, and were willing to explain it to me in terms that I understood. They were prompt and provided constant and timely feedback. I would highly recommend this firm for legal representation as I feel they were solely focused on achieving the best possible outcome.

When my now ex-wife filed for divorce I hired an average attorney and was so depressed that I signed a generous temporary agreement under the promise of an amicable settlement so I can have my child more often than every other weekend. Bad idea, my ex and her aggressive attorney took advantage of me and I had to hire a top attorney to reverse the case.A KSU colleague recommended me Diane. Diane is one of the best divorce attorneys in the state. Smart, well-articulated, pragmatic, proactive, Diane was superb in court, well prepared and documented. Diane did a phenomenal cross-examination of my now ex wife's witnesses to the point that their testimonies rather helped my case. Diane wrote very solid proposals for the judge. Diane's high standards are well-known in the community and she has a high reputation among judges. If you are a good person, Diane is your right partner. Not only that Diane reversed the case, but I won the custody of my child! I am living a dream! The judge ruled in my favor on the main issues.

Diane Cherry is an excellent attorney. She is very efficient and gets the paperwork done very quickly. Most importantly she won't let anyone walk all over you. If you are a male or female in need of a great attorney then I highly recommend Diane Cherry. She's honest and tells you like it is. No beating around the bush. I like that. Give her a call you will be glad you did. I know I am.

Dianes work in helping our family through the difficult process of divorce was impeccable. She remained professional, fair and thorough at all times, and left no details undone. And perhaps best of all, when we got discouraged, she kept us on course and firm. Thank you, Diane! We couldnt be more pleased with how you handled our situation!!

Excellent, lawyer and people person. Very well organized, kind, and reliable. She is a very tough lawyer, and will fight for her cases passionately. Her skill in law is only surpassed by the caring and devoted nature she displays to her clients. Her law office and its employees are friendly and make one feel at home. I WILL be returning for all of my future litigation needs.

Diane Cherry is worth her weight in gold! I called her with an emergency legal matter and she not only immediately talked to me on the phone at 8 in the morning, she cancelled her morning and afternoon appointments and accompanied me to court at 1030am the same morning. She had me come into her office as soon as possible to prep. She was a rockstar during court and afterwards she even insisted on loaning me an umbrella because it was raining and I did not have one. She really and truly CARES about her clients. I am beyond thankful to have chosen her to represent me.

I enlisted Diane's services for an uncontested divorce that ended up becoming a bit of a handful. Through the entire process Diane was very patient and up front about explaining the legal details and process as we walked through them. I would recommend her services to anyone that needed an up-front attorney that communicates straight forwardly and is very responsive to your questions and needs.

Diane was my attorney for my previous custody case several years ago. She and I had not spoken or seen each other in several years. I was sitting in court for a semi-related issue and just happened to see Diane. We smiled and waved and that was the end of that. I did not have an attorney for this case (could not afford one) and the defendant did have an attorney. Diane saw me in the hallway on a recess from the hearing and questioned me about my case. She was in there working a completely different case that day. I told her what was going on and showed her all my paperwork and she said 'hold on, I will help you' She came back in the court room with me, went over all my paperwork while other cases were heard and when it came time for me to stand before the judge she came up there and represented me.....and helped me get exactly what was needed and wanted in my case and filed the court documents for me too! Yes, that is right, she choose to take time out of her day and her busy schedule to help ME! She remembered me from years ago and cared enough to help me in that situation. You don't find attorneys like that anywhere!!!! She knows exactly what she is doing and she does it very well! Anyone I have mentioned her name to over the past few years has always had positive things to say about her. If you want a wishy washy, softy attorney - Diane is not for you. Diane is tough, she knows the law, she knows the process and she will fight for you to get the right thing!
