Diane Van Ness, Esq., Miami Diane Van Ness is NOT Pro Bono! Miami Florida

I am relieved to read of the shameful sagas of Diane Van Ness(DVN) finally being revealed.
I have come to know about this vile woman through a friend who was unmercifully victimized by DVN.
Hiding behind the goodly pose of "protecting children as guardian ad litum ", this "mengele" of a woman would set up a victim, use intimidation tactics i.e. late night screaming into the phone, horrific threats of never being able to see her children, fabricating and distorting medical histories, and falsification of court documents from a desperate mother(s).
The motive: Extortion. $$$$$$$$$$
Yes, a crime
Yes, falsification of court documents is also a crime.

Any ambitious miami dade prosecutors want to take a stand for something worthwhile?

It would seem impossible to believe that all of the incidents revealed to me that lead to the removal of children from a competent mother would happen without a full court hearing over a 5 year period...yet it happened in Miami-Dade.

In a just, kind & professional world this crime could never have happened.
The enabling mercenary & com passionless divorce lawyers, judges & mental health practitioners who turned a callous & disbelieving blind eye while Van Ness attempted to destroy a life will one day have to pay for theirs sins of omission.

The crimes of Diane Van Ness is a compelling story of such horror that i trust will one day soon will be revealed for the world to see.

I wholeheartedly encourage any journalists, prosecutors and family agencies to hasten & facilitate the investigation of this despicable court approved predator & prevent any further damage.

The above writer is stating the truth, because Diane Van Ness is anything but pro bono! I read Diane's rebuttal, and am thrilled that people are finally speaking up!

Diane Van Ness charged my family $20,000 in ONE MONTH! To a family that earned less than $50,000 per year!

When I had to borrow money just to pay her retainer, and the retainer was already court-ordered by her BEFORE she billed us this amount... she reported to all the officers of the court and doctors on this case that this is "proof" that I am an incompetent parent because I am "getting other people to pay my bills."

It was shocking and detrimental to my case. I had never in my life borrowed money to pay my bills. Did I have a choice after what she billed us right after she was court-ordered onto our case?

She did not qualify her statements to the officers of the court by saying that I had an extraordinary international career that had spanned at least 25 years. That I was highly successful and independent, and know how to earn a deeply meaningful and productive living to support my family. Instead, she chose for some reason to state that I was some welfare mom acting like a professional victim. It was sickening. It was the complete opposite of what I am.

It was never clear why she chose to report the very opposite when, in fact, she knew the truth... And when she was aware of the detrimental effect it had on my case.

A guardian ad litem is required by Florida Statute to prove that her fees are reasonable. Diane, however, continued these financial antics for years, taking every penny I earned. My attorney filed for relief, but Diane blocked every attempt at financial relief. I finally had to pay her to get off my case. Literally pay her.

Then, in her rebuttal here, she calmly states the manner in which guardian ad litemship should be handled?

Her rebuttal is eerie and surreal.

Diane Van Ness' rebuttal is nothing short of shocking.

Diane Van Ness is NOT a pro bono guardian ad litem! She is yet again attempting to hide her endless extortion which leaves families homeless. Pay her over 100% of your salary or you don't see your children! That's extortion and against all Florida GAL statutes.

Diane does not state in her rebuttal that she has not practiced (commercial litigation) in many years. She was thrown out of that arena after destroying her own reputation. She works out of her home a few hours a week, for only half the year, and only on GAL cases.

Diane does not state in her rebuttal that the supposed 'Award' she 'won' was given by the very university where she teaches, so she was able to nominate herself via her friends and contacts in order to make herself look good. This was an objective award bestowed upon her by those who know her antics.

Diane does not state in her rebuttal that she refuses to leave a case for years at a time, refuses any and all contact with the parent, engages in late night screaming phone calls and nasty hand-written letters demanding money, and will not let a parent see his or her own children until she is paid in full, even when she is on vacation much of the year.

Diane does not state in her rebuttal that she fabricates her own quotes and paraphrases by professionals, filing in a court of law that these doctors stated claims against these parents, when in fact, they all insist they never said any such thing.

Diane does not state in her rebuttal that she files everything as non-evidentiary so that nobody can refute anything she does, and so that the judges never find out what she is doing financially.

Diane does not state in her rebuttal that if you dare file anything as an eivdentiary hearing so that the truth be known, she stops all parental contact with the children, which is so painful that the parent finally must give in. She simultaneously threatens the attorneys and doctors with their own practices and reputations so that they, too, decide to stay low key.

As with people with a particular clinical mindset, Diane presents here as the 'spokesperson' for how things should be done well, as if she is the patron saint of guardian ad litemship. She titles her response, "...On Behalf of All GAL's in High Conflict Cases..." Does that sainthood mindset ring a bell? This is yet another example of her modus.

Her mask should not be allowed to stay on forever. Thankfully, there is freedom of speech that allows websites like this to prevent further fraudulent activity.
