About Diana R.
Diana R. Sever trained first as a student of the liberal arts and later as a lawyer. She earned a B.A. from the University of Delaware before completing her J.D. at Villanova University. Those classrooms set the tone for a career that spans courtroom work, firm practice and a period on the judicial side.
Her earliest legal position listed is as a judicial law clerk in 1994 to Assignment Judge Ronald E. Bookbinder, A.J.S.C. That clerkship gave her an inside view of trial procedure and judicial decision-making. After leaving the assignment judge’s chambers she moved into private practice and, over the years, has been associated with several New Jersey firms.
By 2000 she was practicing at Parker McCay P.A. Later moves included Barron & Posternock, LLP in 2006 and a sequence of firms bearing the Posternock and McDowell names through 2011 and 2012. In 2014 her record shows a role at Posternock Apell, PC, where she continues her legal work. The path from clerkship to steady firm practice reflects a conventional progression of responsibility and client work.
Publicly available listings indicate admission in New Jersey. Her résumé shows sustained practice in that jurisdiction across decades, including both litigation support and transactional work typical of firm-based attorneys. She has maintained memberships in professional associations during her career.
Colleagues describe her as someone who adapts to different office environments. She has worked in small firm settings and larger, multi-attorney practices. That variety is evident in the sequence of firms on her record. Each move corresponded to shifts in firm structure and the work those offices handled.
For clients and other lawyers, her file shows a steady presence in New Jersey practice since the 1990s. She remains based at Posternock Apell, P.C., where she handles matters on behalf of individuals and organizations that bring cases to the firm. Her current practice centers on client representation at Posternock Apell, P.C.
