Upon graduation from Columbia Law School, Diane Abrams practiced law in Manhattan for ten years, during which time she specialized in divorce law, arbitration, negotiation and litigation and became a member of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Diane created and taught the nation's first "Women and the Law" course at NYU Law School. In addition to selling luxury cooperative and condominium apartments on Fifth Avenue, Park Avenue, Central Park West, Riverside Drive, Central Park South and in other parts of Manhattan, Diane has sold high-end townhouses, uptown and downtown at record prices. Her customers will attest to her knowledge of the real estate market, responsiveness to customer needs, attention to detail, sound judgment, tenacity, and overall professionalism. Diane's career experience, as well as extensive relationships with large numbers of civic and business leaders, have enabled her to become a highly successful broker at Brown Harris Stevens. Diane's legal background is of immense value to her customers in many areas, including landmark commission proceedings, construction and renovation issues and sensitive negotiations. Diane has authored a book (published by Random House and translated into several languages) along with numerous articles for journals and magazines. Her writing skills are without parallel in the industry leading to superior marketing materials for her customers' properties. Diane's father, Jacob J. Schulder, spearheaded many significant real estate projects throughout the City and she brings to her work with Brown Harris Stevens the cumulative experience of three generations of family involvement in the Manhattan commercial and residential real estate market. During the fifteen years that her husband, Bob, was New York State Attorney General, Diane campaigned for him throughout the State. Diane and Bob, both native New Yorkers, currently live on the Upper East Side, where they raised their family.
