OUR STAFF
At The Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya, we understand the emotional, physical and financial burdens a serious injury or loss of a loved one places on the victim and their family. If you are coping with a personal injury or wrongful death of a family member or are faced with navigating the workers' compensation system, we provide the compassionate and personal service to help relieve the anxiety and uncertainty you face. We work hard to get you results.
The various laws, procedures and deadlines that govern personal injuries, insurance companies and the court system are complex and demanding. We have a highly trained and experienced support staff of paralegals, technical support specialists, records administrators and client services specialists. Each staff member works with personal injury clients and personal injury law every day, knows the requirements and timeframes, knows the court system and is there to help you navigate through the process.
All of our legal team members have served with large law firms, and we understand the resources and knowledge these firms have to offer. We offer the same level of knowledge and experience as a large firm, but add the personal, compassionate attention that you expect from a smaller firm.
