This lady is dangerous. She has made her legal career as a court appointed guardian ad litem. She does not work for free and is appointed by the judge. Currently, she appears to work with Circuit Court Judge Sandy Karlan and is known to be friendly with her.
Her legal career in Miami Dade Florida consisted as a debt collector. Out of approximately 154 cases documented, she has handled only 6 family court matters.
She does not follow the state guidelines for volunteer guardian ad litems (GAL). She never scheduled a home study in the three years she handled my case. She only met with my child one time in the three years she was suppose to " protect the best interests of the child". I doubt she would even recognize my child if she bumped into him/her on the street!
She handles her cases through the efforts of others usually while she is vacationing throughout the year in Northeast.
If you do not pay her on time, she immediately calls her girlfriend, Judge Karlan and schedules a court telephone conference. And, the Judge makes plenty of time in her court calander to accomodate her friend, Diane Van Ness. Hmmmm.
The best way to deal with Diane Van Ness is to go prose so she can not triple charge her hourly fees among your lawyer, opposing counsel and others. Going prose forces her to deal directly with you. Make sure you record everything you discuss with her. Always have a court reporter in court or in meetings with her. She can't stand that because she can't pull to many of her dirty tricks. Keep a good evidentiary paper trail of all your actions because she will accuse you falsely and you can bitch slap her with good solid evidence. It will also help you get her off the case eventually.
