Diane helped me navigate my divorce in February 2022. Diane was supremely competent and knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. She was kind and caring and listened to my concerns, and inspired confidence throughout the process. The advice she gave was invaluable and led to a much better outcome than I expected or hoped. She provided the expert guidance I needed and was a pleasure to work with. I feel lucky to have her as my attorney, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Mrs Diane is affordable and professional. She helped me get more time with my little one which is most important and aided with patience during the mediation portion. I had an unresolved issue with the child support unit months after.One phone call and Diane found multiple solutions and avenues and was able clear confusion and planned our next course of action. Out of the kindness in her heart she did not charge for this particular incident. She gives practical/ legal advice. Definitely a top recommendation to any local or military folks going through any family changes.Oh! and did I mention she gives her regards via thank you Christmas cards!!!!!

We hired Diane to help my brother out in a legal matter regarding kids visitation and child support. Diane goes above and beyond to do the best for you. She did an amazing job , and she does not charge an arm and a leg. She communicates with you through the whole process and is always available when you need to talk to her. Diane has a very good heart and it is important to have an attorney who does not think of you as just another client,instead Diane does her best to get the best outcome for you. We are very thankful that God has sent us such an amazing person at the right time..

She was very helpful with my divorce and making sure that I got visitation with my son. She made sure to explain things that I didn’t understand. I would recommend her to anyone. Her and her staff were very helpful and understanding. She helped me so much and I am very happy that she was there to help me through my tough time.

Diane was a consummate professional throughout the entire divorce process. She was reasonable, explained well, and was detail oriented. She ensures her clients best interests are at the forefront of her work and her professionalism inspires confidence during a difficult time.

I have a hard time putting myself into words but I did want to take a moment to express our gratitude. Mrs. Schull was the first out of many calls that would actually sit and listen to our case. We had an interesting one and the laws for ND had changed the same time we were fitting for guardianship of a minor. She was there for us for all the hardships and continued to reach out to us after court was over. She helped our family in so many ways and was also our strength when we no longer had it. She stepped up so many times during our case and for that, we are forever grateful. I have worked with lawyers in the past and she is not like any other. She treats you and your family with respect and understanding vs others that see you as a cash cow. I highly recommend her for all of your custody needs.

Diane was very prompt and thorough throughout our adoption process. I appreciate the professionalism, yet still personable. I would recommend Diane to anyone seeking an adoption attorney.

I was referred to the firm Diane was working for by a family member. When I called to set up an appointment, I took the first available opening due to the nature of my need. When I first met with Diane I was distraught and going through a very tough time. She was calm and collected and helped me get my thoughts sorted out and offered a plan of action. I hired Diane to help me file for legal separation. I worked with her over the span of several months and she was very good at keeping me informed and updated. She met me at my hearing and made me feel at ease when I was feeling quite anxious. The process of separation/divorce was not easy, but Diane made things go as smooth as possible.
