John J. Diamond J.D.
The Law Wizard™ was born a long time ago in a state far, far away. In late childhood, John learned the magical arts in music from Steve Evans, a student of the Cuban composer and virtuoso guitarist Leo Brouwer, and from Rob Swindle, a student and assistant to the late Yes and Plastic Ono Band percussionist Alan White. By the end of the 20th Century, John toured the Southern California beach communities with the local strangely-unexplainable progressive acoustic-electric folk-rock phenomenon, Guakim. John earned his Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology at the University of California at Santa Barbara and his Juris Doctor at the University of La Verne, and he was admitted to the California Bar in 1995. He opened a civil litigation practice, focusing on family law and business litigation. The Los Angeles Superior Court invited him to serve as a judge pro tempore when he was among the newest-in- practice attorneys to become a Certified Specialist in Family Law, and he served until moving to Utah in the early 21st Century. Since then, John earned his Master of Business Administration at the University of Utah, and his practice has focused on criminal defense since the pandemic. His clients are from all walks of life, from a billionaire real estate developer to teachers, professional skiers, doctors, race car drivers, other lawyers and judges, Oscar- and Grammy-winning artists and producers, spacecraft engineers, and everyone else. John has found that in most cases, something resembling the truth eventually comes out, and it is his opportunity to help craft an outcome that makes sense. The Law Wizard™ has been working full-time for several years with Tom Weber, The Law Ninja™. They work closely together and with their excellent staff to resolve cases where possible, and to bring cases to trial when necessary. Don’t lose your chance to get them on your side. *Licensed in Utah only.
