When I called Mr. Diamond I immediately felt he was in control and wanted to be sure I understood what was going on. He kept the lines of communication open alleviating what could of been a very stressful situation. Mr. Diamond was very thorough and I felt as though he had my best interests in mind. He understands his field and is able to communicate with his clients in a manner they can understand. He was both helpful and compassionate about my case and my situation. I highly recommend Mr. Diamond.

I was injured on the job while working offshore in the Gulf. Given that the details of maritime law can be complicated, I had a lot of questions about where to begin and what options I had. I contacted Diamond Law Practice, and was thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism, knowledge and compassion I received in working with John-Austin Diamond. Thank you for taking the time to work with me in helping to secure the recovery of my financial compensation.

I highly recommend John-Austin Diamond's law services. I was injured while working overseas and my supervisor told me that I would not qualify for any benefits. I was distraught and didn't know how I would be able to support my family. I found Diamond Law Practice while searching online and set up a call. Mr. Diamond clearly explained that I had rights to compensation under the defense base act that I was unaware of. He made me feel like my case was his most important case and was readily available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. His response time was quick and he was always pleasant. With the large settlement Mr. Diamond got me, I no longer have to worry about how to support my family.

During my work on aircraft maintenance in Iraq in late 2014, I fell victim to a gunshot wound while in transit to our station outside of Baghdad. John-Austin worked with me to secure my workers comp through the Defense Base Act, and was willing to give me much more time and attention than the few others lawyers I had tried before him. He walked me through the entire process, kept me updated, and was ultimately successful in winning my claim. I would highly recommend him to anybody in need of similar services.

I am honored to recommend my attorney, John-Austin Diamond. Mr. Diamond is knowledgeable, thorough, an excellent communicator. But don't let his friendly demeanor fool you, John-Austin fights hard, ensuring your case is resolved in your favor and to your complete satisfaction. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my personal injury case, and I owe it all to John-Austin.
