Veteran Trial Lawyer ● Previous Yale Law School Instructor

In practice since 1980, I am completely dedicated to defending people facing the loss of their liberty. I am a graduate of Yale Law School and previously taught trial practice there.

  • Domestic violence/family violence
  • DUI / drunk driving
  • Drug crimes — sale, possession, conspiracy
  • Sex crimes, including Internet sex crimes, child pornography, and statutory rape involving teachers, coaches, clergy, and others in positions of trust
  • Murder, interstate murder for hire, assault, kidnapping, robbery, and all serious felonies
  • Racketeering, including RICO and VCAR
  • White collar crimes / financial crimes

We also represent plaintiffs in civil rights, police misconduct, and employment discrimination cases. Find out more about our areas of practice.

A Meticulous Investigator and Legal Advocate

When you are facing criminal charges, you are facing the crushing weight of a powerful government with almost unlimited resources to take away your freedom. My job as your defense attorney — my cause — is to stand up to them for you.

At the Law Offices of Diane Polan, you will not be judged. This is a friendly, comfortable place where you will feel welcomed and accepted. We will meticulously investigate every aspect of your case, focusing on seeking the best possible outcome.

Are You Being Investigated for a Crime?
Talk to an attorney as soon as possible. Remember — you do not have to talk to the police and you do not have to let them into your home unless they have a search warrant. In my experience as a criminal defense attorney, it never helps your case to speak with the police or to open your door to them.
