 Excellent food and service. Great atmosphere and good prices.

 My marriage ended in the first year of my daughters life. I was scared that I would lose custody of my daughter so I did a lot of research to find Diane Harms. She is a brilliant lawyer and she is clearly in love with the law. I told Diane to expect a major contentious irrational battle over my daughter. Diane told me that our strategy would be to take the “HIGH ROAD”, and to trust that I will get 50/50 custody of my daughter in time. As expected, my divorce was a nightmare. The ex took me to court numerous times attempting unsuccessfully to reduce my meager parenting time from 16 hours a week, down to 4 hours/week (a 65% decrease). On fathers day I was provided a private investigation report – I had been followed for a month during my parenting time by 7 different investigators – who took pictures of me and my daughter at the Zoo, science center, my mothers house, my sisters house, and many play grounds around Calgary. This report worked against my ex, as it provided evidence that I was a good, engaged, and loving father. Once our case arrived in the proper courts we countered; seeking more parenting time. In court, Diane is a brilliant, calculated, and a rationale litigator. The result was that we won more parenting time and overnights! The entire divorce took 2.5 years. It was long and hard but Diane did everything possible to make progress every step of the way. We recently concluded our divorce and I won 50/50 custody of my now 3 year old daughter. For a father, this is a huge victory, as the law is biased towards mothers in divorce. I would not have come close to this victory without an amazing, astute, calculated lawyer like Diane Harms. It was expensive, but my daughter is worth it. I recommend Diane to anyone that wants real results. If you are rationale, and want to take the high road in divorce, Diane Harms is the divorce lawyer for you. If you are vindictive, and want some sort of revenge in your divorce – you better hope that your counterpart does not hire Diane.
