Our Mission Statement

We love what we do and our mission is to fulfill each client's goals. And after 25 years of courtroom experience, we have gotten quite good at what we do. Every client has differing goals: some want the children, some are concerned with a significant cash pay-out in their divorce, others seek to maintain the ownership interest and equity in professional practices. We will seek to fulfill that goal through every legal channel within the bounds of the law. We counsel you of all your rights during divorce, child custody, separation, and family court proceedings, among others. We will leave no stone unturned to protect those rights. We will be loyal only to you. We have long been the go-to law firm for even other lawyers. When other lawyers did not wish to take on financially complex divorce cases, or high-conflict child custody divorces on some of New York's nastiest divorces, we did.

Our firm is positioned to obtain legal resolution of the most challenging personal issues, when the stakes are high, when the disputes are critical. Look at our educational credentials and the number of years we have been in practice, and then compare that to other divorce lawyers who rank high on Google, for instance. None of them have that combination of (1) significant courtroom experience; and (2) Top Ten educational credentials.

Why The Diefenbach Law Firm?

Over a quarter of a century in private practice, we have gotten good at getting clients what they want. Mr. Diefenbach has long been respected by both colleagues and clients as a talented lawyer, both in the office and at trial. He is known for being a tenacious advocate and an aggressive Manhattan divorce lawyer for any client faced with a high-conflict divorce or child custody issues, and has a deep commitment to obtaining fair terms for his clients. When compared to other New York divorce lawyers dealing with child custody in New York, he is more deeply concerned with the needs of the children, and will fight hard to give them the future they deserve.

His B.A. degree in Philosophy from Cornell has helped earn him a solid reputation as an attorney keen on attention to detail in every case he handles, which lends to the finding of inconsistencies in documentary evidence, in financial records of the parties, and during cross-examinations at trial. It is these inconsistencies which go to the heart of any devastating blow to the other side's case. That educational background also lends itself to a fluid writing style and oratory. And stubborn, perhaps when need be. "When finding back false allegations by a spouse, or uncovering hidden assets, get the best divorce attorney in New York you can," he says. One client expresses it: "He has the levity of a dove and the tenacity of a barracuda."

He has a reputation for being a tough and aggressive Manhattan divorce lawyer, especially in child custody cases.
