Smith, Brad E.

With a family law and divorce clientele all over Southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Attorney Diana Cortes allows her to use her vast cultural background to provide experienced and aggressive family law representation to a wide range of clients. Whether you are dealing with a child support or alimony matter, custody or child placement issue, or any type of modification or contempt case, Diana can handle your case equally well in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. With her multi-lingual background, there will never be language barriers when she communicates with you. She'll offer consistent and direct communication at all times.

As it relates to children and divorce, Diana's first priority is looking after the "best interest" of the children. A close second is her top priority put on full disclosure and thorough discovery of all financial matters. She often faces underreporting of assets and income, the delay of bonuses, stock options or raises until a time when the income would be considered separate property, or the chance that a business owner spouse would make repayment to a friend for a phony debt, or even attempt to hide or transfer retirement accounts that you never even knew existed.

Best of all, Attorney Cortes tells it like it is – providing honest, straightforward legal advice. She will guide, educate and support you throughout the legal process. She wants you to make the right decisions today because they will affect you and your family for years to come.

Diana concentrates her law practice in Southern Massachusetts and in Rhode Island. She is a Roger Williams University School of Law graduate and an active member of both the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Bars.
