About Diona M. Potter, Litigation Partner
Marietta divorce attorney Diona M. Potter enjoys practicing family law because of its complete lack of monotony. Anything can happen on any given day.
“I know that, at the end of the day, what I’m doing affects my client’s life, not only in the short term but for the future,” Ms. Potter said. “I will do my best to help them craft the best possible future.”
