About

Schull Law, P.L.L.C., is a family law practice in Grand Forks, North Dakota, established in Spring 2020 by attorney Diane L. Schull. The firm brings a distinctive background to the legal profession: before transitioning to law, Schull spent years with the Grand Forks Police Department, where she served as a 911 dispatcher and later as Property and Evidence Coordinator. During that tenure, she completed specialized training in forensic photography, shooting reconstruction, bloodstain pattern analysis, and crime scene reconstruction. In 2009, she earned certification as a Certified Senior Crime Scene Analyst through the International Association of Investigation. She also held memberships in the International Association for Bloodstain Pattern Analysts and served as a founding member of the North Dakota Peace Officers Association Evidence Technician Committee, as well as Past President of the International Association for Identification Dakotas Division. This forensic and investigative background informs her approach to legal representation.

While centered on family law, Schull Law handles a broad range of matters affecting families and estates. The firm represents clients in divorce and separation, including pre-judgment and post-judgment issues, custody and visitation arrangements, child support, spousal support, and paternity matters. Beyond traditional divorce representation, the firm offers parenting and custody investigations, serves as a parenting time coordinator or expeditor, and provides mediation services.

Schull Law also assists with guardianship and conservatorship matters, helping families establish legal guardianship when a mentally incapacitated adult or special needs child requires decision-making support in medical, financial, and legal affairs. The firm handles adoption throughout North Dakota and western Minnesota, counseling adoptive parents and expectant mothers through the process of establishing parent-child relationships and, where necessary, terminating parental rights.

The firm's estate planning services address concerns many people find overwhelming. Schull Law helps clients create wills and trusts to direct property distribution after death and designate guardians for minor children, draft healthcare directives to guide medical and end-of-life decisions, and establish powers of attorney for financial management during incapacity. The firm is committed to making estate planning accessible and stress-free.

Schull Law tailors its services to fit each client's particular circumstances and needs. The firm serves clients throughout the region and maintains a 5-star rating on Google.
