TESTIMONIALS

Ms. Rivera is the best private investigator any lawyer could ask for. She not only finds the information requested but also always goes above and beyond to extract as much information as possible. I cannot recommend anyone more strongly and I would not go to any other investigator with my cases. Ms. Rivera is always prompt, professional and extremely supportive during all phases of a case. Her experience makes her the clear choice in the Bay Area for any investigative work.  

----- Rodney N. Mayr, ESQ. 

 Diane is hard-working and has a knack for getting people to talk to her.  In one of my cases, a witness had escaped from the authorities and crossed state lines.  Diane found the witness by following the trail, one person at a time.  When she reached the end of the road, she brought back information that changed the outcome of the case.  On another occasion, I was managing a stack of my cases, all of which were supposed to be sent out for trial at once.  I was able to work through each case one at a time, and stay focused in court, because Diane wrangled witnesses and kept everybody on track. 

-----William Safford, Attorney at Law

Diane Rivera is an amazing investigator with an uncanny ability to get people to open up to her. I have used her on many cases and have been very impressed with both her ability to find people, as well as with the written work product. A lot of other investigators are retired male police officers, who lack Diane's active listening skills, or her empathy. I have been able to get results just because Diane is such a nice person that witnesses genuinely want to talk to - even after being served with a subpoena. 

-----Dmitry Stadlin, Attorney at Law 

Diane has assisted me on multiple occasions and in a variety of ways from criminal and personal investigations – from guiding me with understanding the legal process in layman’s terms, to answering any questions I have, reviewing documents such as police reports and search warrants in an effort to brainstorm ways to provide the best possible outcome in any case, as well as coming up with a multitude of ideas as defenses in litigations. She always highly impresses me! Her seasoned experience shows in that she can pull from her military experience, from being a savvy criminal investigator, to her past legal training, etc. She has been able to help with anything from custody matters, neighbor disputes, federal criminal cases, and even high-profile cases where the stakes are high with a smooth, professional approach. She stays calm and collected, always level headed and able to look at both sides of a matter to determine the best tactic to come out on top. She understands the dynamics of the justice system; jail and prison system, as well as gangs, and how these things play into a case. She has worked with some of the best attorney’s in the city and is well respected among them. She has always provided accurate and quick responses to all my inquiries and has gone above and beyond on multiple occasions. I highly recommend her services and promise you will never be disappointed!

Every time Ms. Diane Rivera asks me to support her in the capacity of an interpreter, she always makes sure that I am familiar with the basic background of the case before going into the interview and offers me constructive feedback after it is over so that we may be able to work even better together in future assignments. During one of the interviews, I witnessed an initially cautious and skeptical interviewee began to open up, right before my eyes, all because of Ms. Rivera’s calm and professional demeanor and communicative and interview skills. Ms. Diane Rivera is one of the most effective, efficient, thorough and professional criminal defense investigators that I have had the pleasure of supporting and working with.
