Diane is amazing, responsive and very knowledgeable. She has assisted our law firm in more ways than one. I can't express enough her dedication and her timely responses, which is huge in the legal community.

When you start a firm you're busy enough getting and delivering upon new business. Managing the rest of your firm just detracts from that. Diane and her team have been a great resource for attorneys I've referred her way. Chat with her and you'll see a whole new way of operating.

Can't say enough good things about Diane and Suzanne. They saved me time every week, reducing my workload and stress, and allowing me to spend more time on billable client work. They helped me take my practice to the next level.

Joseph Ferrucci

Diane was a huge help to me when we started our boutique law firm. Her experience was invaluable and she rolled up her sleeves to pitch in. Great person to work with, friendly, professional, expert.

Jan Watson

Diane has been a great resource for our law firm. Her expertise was invaluable when we made the transition to NetDocuments. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. I would highly recommend her services.

Suzanne Burgess

I have known Diane for years. Now that I hired her to do a project for me I understand the depth and breadth of her experience. I could have spent days spinning my wheels thinking through a project that she was able to set me straight on in a thirty minute conversation. Save yourself the headache or reinventing the wheel!

Patricia De Fonte

Diane's extensive experience in the trenches as a legal secretary and an office manager shines through in her presentations.

There are few specialists who have dedicated themselves to NetDocs and Diane is one of them. We’ve appreciated her expertise.

Unlike other programs that give very general information, Diane was specific and detailed and provided real life ways to deal with varying personalities and situations. Plus she's a lot of fun!

Diane’s professionalism, efficiency, delivery, customer service and follow-up is excellent and I truly appreciate all the support she has provided.

Diane was great to work with! She is very responsive and knowledgeable about practice management systems. She went the extra mile to provide thorough information and to help my firm find the right case management solution.

I attended Diane’s course on Generations in the Workplace. She presented interesting, well-researched content and gave specific examples of how to improve communication skills. I recommend her course.

Do you feel like there’s a better way to manage your firm, but just don’t have time to figure it out?

Delegate to an experienced law firm manager. Hiring someone to help with these tasks can reduce the burden of managing your law practice. At DLC Consulting Services, we specialize in helping solo and small law firms increase their billable hours, boost profits and improve their work/life balance.

We provide knowledge, services and processes to help small law firms organize and manage their businesses.

Whether you’re an established law firm or just starting out, building and maintaining a law practice is a lot of work. For most attorneys it’s overwhelming and frustrating – you didn’t go to law school to research software selections, create office policies, compare insurance policies, design job descriptions, or any number of other administrative tasks.
