We provide litigation, mediation or collaborative law, depending on the client’s needs and best interest. We specialize in all matters concerning families, from name changes and stepparent adoptions to complicated custody and property issues. Our office represents men, women or children. The cases involve complicated property as well as child custody and support issues as well as uncomplicated div
orces (“dissolutions”) cases. We have a particular expertise in cases involving people from other countries. Our preferred goal is to assist clients in arriving at settlements, and for this reason we have developed competence in both collaborative law and mediation. Morin, as a former Santa Clara County District Attorney, has a background in litigation and relies on this background in developing strategies for clients. The Law Offices of Diane J.N. Morin were established in 1992. Our office is in Palo Alto, California, and we practice in San Mateo, Santa Clara counties as well as San Francisco. The office also works with an attorney who has had extensive experience in adoption law. After practicing criminal law for many years (both prosecution and defense), we now concentrate exclusively on family law. Morin has dual nationality, and was raised in another country, we have an extensive clientele from other countries. In the past few years, we have developed a practice in mediation and collaborative law as well as litigation.
