Civil Rights Litigation
Claims against state and municipal actors for constitutional violations, including §1983 excessive-force and due-process cases. We build each matter from the first investigation through trial and, where it goes there, appeal.
Fourteen areas of litigation under one roof, anchored by a bilingual U.S.–Mexico practice. Accepted matters receive senior-attorney attention from first review through the next decision point, without being routed across departments.

Claims against state and municipal actors for constitutional violations, including §1983 excessive-force and due-process cases. We build each matter from the first investigation through trial and, where it goes there, appeal.
Commercial and partnership disputes where the real question is leverage: contract breaches, ownership fights, and injunctions, prepared for trial from the first assessment.
Rights, contract, and defamation disputes for talent, creators, and the companies that work with them. Handled discreetly, because the publicity is often part of the problem.
State and federal defense from the first contact through verdict. We intervene early, test the record through motion practice, and avoid treating a quick plea as the default answer.
Cross-border representation for clients and families whose matters move between two legal systems. Diana handles these natively in Spanish and English and coordinates counsel on both sides of the border.
Status questions, removal defense, and the family matters that come with them — including the immigration fallout of a cross-border or criminal case. Communication is available in English and Spanish.
Representation and eligibility work for athletes and organizations, plus the contract conflicts that follow. In this work, timing and discretion usually shape the available options.
Multi-party and multi-jurisdiction disputes that resist a template. The work is mostly case architecture: building a structure that holds up as a sprawling matter grows.
Discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful-termination claims, plus severance disputes. We represent both individuals and employers when the workplace conflict carries real exposure.
Title, transaction, and property litigation, including boundary and development fights. We keep the focus on the underlying asset and the deadline that actually governs it.
Serious-injury and liability claims, prepared from the first medical record with trial requirements in view. The goal is a clear record, realistic valuation, and disciplined presentation.
Fraud and deceptive-practice claims, brought individually or as class exposure. The work starts with documents, timelines, and whether the law supports a practical remedy.
Custody and dissolution matters, handled with composure when the conflict runs high. The approach stays child-centered, and we are prepared to litigate if settlement breaks down.
Disputes that don't fit a category. If it is contested and it matters, we will assess it and give you a straight answer on whether it is worth pursuing.
Not sure where your matter fits? Most cases cross categories. Tell us once. We will give you a straight answer on whether, and how, to pursue it.
Intake is reviewed by counsel after conflict screening. Timing depends on the matter and any deadlines.
