It is my opinion that every professional has an obligation to give back to their community. Accepting a license to practice law or medicine is promising to do more than just earn money. It is a promise to help those who cannot help themselves. This can be done by participating in community events, teaching, writing articles or offering one-on-one assistance to those in need.
Diane is a well respected Arizona bankruptcy and foreclosure attorney. As a retired law professor, she believes in offering everyone, not just her clients, advice about bankruptcy and Arizona foreclosure laws. Diane is also a mentor to hundreds of Arizona attorneys.
