What Others Are Saying About This Blog
- Ben Cowgill, Lexington, KY, Legal Ethics Newsletter, May 3. 2006, “It should come as no surprise that Diana is the first domestic relations practitioner in Kentucky to launch a legal weblog. Earlier this year, she was honored by the Louisville Bar Association for being at the forefront of new developments in the practice of family law and for demonstrating a high level of client concern, public service and innovation in her law practice. She is the founder and senior partner of Diana L. Skaggs & Associates, a "boutique" domestic relations firm in Louisville.”
- Diana Skaggs’ Divorce Law Journal pays more attention to alternate dispute resolution than any practicing attorney blog I'm aware of. Her insights are spot-on, her knowledge broad and her wisdom, well, wise. Check it out! From Settle It Now Negotiation Blog, February 6, 2007
- Diane Levin, Online Guide To Mediation, Boston, MA, June 24, 2006, "I’ve described this excellent blog as one which offers "lucidly written, intelligent analysis" of legal issues, and I stand by that. This blog consistently delivers the goods. Although its Louisville-based author Diana Skaggs tracks Kentucky divorce and family law, her blog has a nation-wide scope, staying abreast of developments in these practice areas across the U.S. For American mediators who work closely with divorcing couples and families, this blog, published by a mediation-friendly attorney, is a must-read stop on the web."
- I have been watching this site since its inception. Diana Skaggs is definitely taking this project seriously, and for those looking for family law content, this is a great site - not just for Kentucky lawyers, but for any lawyer practicing family (or matrimonial or divorce) law. I subscribe to the maxim that 'kontent is king', and her site has maintained an outstanding mix of links to other sites and postings of relevance and original postings from her and her associates on family law developments. A tip of the hat to Diana and the www.DivorceLawJournal.com. And for those wishing to take a peek at her firm's web site: http://www.LouisvilleDivorce.com/ Kentucky Law Blog, June 13, 2006.
- Victoria Pynchon Settle It Now Bl arg, Beverly Hills, CA December 27, 2006, from My 2006 Blog Gratitude List, “Divorce Law Journal-Louisville family law attorney Diana Skaggs who does more to promote ADR than any attorney I know.”
