About Diane Mary
Diane Mary Sodano built a legal career that began in Philadelphia classrooms and continued into courtrooms across two states. She earned her B.A. from Temple University in 1986 and returned to Temple University Beasley School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 1990. Those years shaped her understanding of courtroom procedure and client advocacy.
After law school, Sodano entered private practice and steadily expanded her responsibilities. In 2002 she took on a leadership role as a lawyer and shareholder at Grim, Biehn & Thatcher. That position placed her in a firm environment where she handled a range of civil matters and worked alongside other litigators on complex files. In 2017 she joined Ostroff Injury Law as a lawyer. Her career path shows long stretches in firm practice and an ability to move between different firm cultures while carrying client files through trial and settlement stages.
Sodano is admitted to practice in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. She holds memberships in the New Jersey Bar Association and the Bucks County Bar Association, among other local professional groups. Those memberships have kept her connected to state-level developments and to the local legal community where many of her matters are filed and litigated. Her dual-state admission allows her to follow cases across common jurisdictions in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
Her work history centers on civil litigation handled inside regional firms. At Grim, Biehn & Thatcher she managed files that required careful pretrial preparation and courtroom presence. At Ostroff Injury Law she took on personal injury matters and related civil claims, guiding clients through the paperwork, negotiations, and courtroom appearances that these cases often require. Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing evidence and steady during hearings and depositions.
Sodano maintains a practice footprint that includes offices in Cherry Hill and an address at One Liberty Place, and she has been associated with Ostroff Law. Those locations place her near both New Jersey and Pennsylvania court systems. She balances client meetings, litigation calendar demands, and the administrative work of running files across state lines.
Her career reflects consistent work inside established firms and ongoing ties to regional bar organizations. She continues to accept and manage civil and personal injury cases that arise in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and to handle the litigation tasks those matters require. Her current practice focuses on civil litigation and personal injury matters in those jurisdictions.
