About Diana E.
Diana E. Buss built a steady, practical legal résumé that began in Texas classrooms and moved into neighborhood courtrooms. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Studies in 2003 and followed that with a Master of Arts in Legal Studies in 2006, both from Texas State University-San Marcos. She completed her Juris Doctor at the University of Tulsa in 2010.
After law school, Buss entered practice in Texas. In 2011 she worked as an associate at Morales and Navarrette, PLLC and also at the Law Office of David Sergi and Associates. Those early years gave her front-line exposure to criminal matters and courtroom procedure. Two years later she opened her own firm, establishing the Law Office of Diana E. Buss in 2013.
Her credentials include a Certificate of Completion from the Texas Criminal Defense Association. She is licensed to practice in Texas and has maintained memberships in several professional groups that reflect the scope of her work. These include the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the Austin Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the Austin Bar Association, the Hays County Bar Association and the Austin Young Lawyers Association. Membership dates on record begin in 2010 for some organizations and extend through the present for others.
Buss’s practice centers on criminal defense in the Texas state system. Her background in criminal studies and legal studies preceded formal legal training, which informs how she approaches cases and client interviews. Colleagues describe her courtroom approach as matter-of-fact and direct; she emphasizes clear explanations to clients and practical assessment of options. She has represented clients in a range of non-federal criminal matters and manages both pretrial work and negotiations.
Running a solo practice has allowed Buss to control case selection and client communication. She handles intake, case preparation and court appearances through the Law Office of Diana E. Buss. The office operates in Texas and serves clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges in state courts. She also stays active in local bar groups where she engages with peers on developments in criminal law.
