Serving Los Angeles

For over four decades, Diane has dedicated her time, expertise, and leadership to organizations that strengthen the fabric of the Los Angeles community.

Privilege Demands Purpose

Diane has long believed that the skills honed in decades of legal practice carry an obligation beyond the courtroom. The ability to negotiate, advocate, and resolve conflict is a resource that belongs not only to those who can afford it — but to entire communities that need it most.

“Legal expertise is a privilege that must be shared with the underserved.”
