The Law Office of Diana E. Buss is dedicated to providing excellent representation you need to defend against criminal charges. At my office, I treat every client as an individual, not another legal fee. Most of my clients come from referrals from satisfied clients. I pride myself on my reputation in the legal community and among judges as a trustworthy and effective lawyer.

Diana E. Buss was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and as a daughter of a U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, she moved around the country and the world a lot as a child. She settled in Dallas, Texas where she graduated high school and shortly thereafter, moved to San Marcos, Texas to attend college at Texas State University. While at Texas State, Ms. Buss was on the Dean's List and was awarded her Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. Ms. Buss continued her graduate studies at Texas State University receiving her Master of Arts degree in Legal Studies and a paralegal certificate. For two years, she worked as a litigation paralegal for a prestigious law firm in Austin, Texas before taking the leap to law school.

Ms. Buss earned her law degree from the University of Tulsa College of Law in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
