Diane and the team at DLC Consulting played a key role in helping me open my trusts and estates law firm. I appreciate their advice and guidance and am still working with them now that I am up and running. If you are thinking about starting your own firm, I highly recommend contacting DLC Consulting

Jason Cohen

My law firm has been consulting with DLC for about a year. Diane and her team have helped us with budgeting, managing an office move, HR matters, choosing and implementing new software as well as other aspects of our firm administration. DLC has a wealth of information in many areas that any law firm would be well served to take advantage of.

Lydia Crandall

DLC takes off some of the burden of managing the firm. We have mainly worked with Diane and her team for support in hiring and weeding through applicants and it is such a relief to be able to delegate what would otherwise be a time sink to her very capable team.

Brigit Kavanagh

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.

Leo Manzione

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.

Richard McDerby

DLC Consulting has extraordinary experience with implementation of NetDocuments, and provides customers with timely support, training and insight. I would highly recommend Diane and her team.

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.

Voneciel Gaines, CCLS

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

Richard McDerby
Partner – Osborn McDerby LLP

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!

Dee Sannazzaro Gray
Administrator – Vasquez, Beniske & Lindgren, LLP

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

Garth A. Maijala

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.

Rose-Ellen Fairgrieve

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.

Paul DeAngelis
Solo Practitioner

Diane and her team were wonderful. They took the time to help me figure out what I needed to implement the systems and items needed for a smooth transition. I look forward to continuing to work with them as my firm grows

Vidhya B

Diane and her team at DLC Consulting Services are incredible! Diane is so knowledgeable, patient, and creative in helping me to set up my solo practice from scratch. She has been with me every step of the way, using her expertise in addressing IT and software issues, to document management, marketing ideas, billing, accounting–all while keeping a cool head and a sense of humor. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone with running a law practice!

Patricia Bigelow

I will always be so appreciative of the amazing work by you and your team to set up my little firm. Thank you so much. You guys are amazing. Your recommendations were all fantastic.

Whether you’re an established law firm or just starting out, building and maintaining a law practice is a lot of work.
