Founder & Principal Attorney

Diane Chang, Redondo Beach Personal Injury & Dog Bite Attorney

Diane Chang is the founder and principal attorney of Diane Chang Law, representing clients in dog bite and personal injury cases throughout Redondo Beach, the South Bay, Los Angeles County, and California. Dog bite cases are a significant focus of Diane’s practice. Her legal experience, firsthand involvement with dogs, successful dog bite recoveries, and reputation among other personal injury attorneys bring a distinctive perspective to these cases.


Since founding her practice in 2019, Diane has also built the firm around direct attorney access. Clients work directly with Diane from the initial case evaluation through resolution.

No cost. No obligation. Every case evaluation is personally reviewed by Diane.

Personal Injury Experience With a Distinct Perspective on Dog Bite Cases

Diane brings an uncommon combination of personal injury experience and extensive firsthand knowledge of dogs to her practice. She owns and personally shows four Rottweilers in American Kennel Club conformation, participates in herding sport, and has years of hands-on experience with dog behavior, handling, and responsible ownership.



That background provides additional insight when handling dog bite and dog attack claims, while the same careful investigation, preparation, and direct attorney involvement define her approach across all personal injury cases.


Diane’s experience in this area has also earned the trust of other personal injury attorneys, who refer dog bite cases to her when seeking an attorney with substantial knowledge of both the legal and practical issues involved.

Education, Legal Training & Early Advocacy

  • Education

    Diane earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of California, San Diego, followed by her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles.

  • Loyola Law School

    While at Loyola, Diane was a member of the Scott Moot Court team and served as an editor of the International and Comparative Law Review.

  • Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office

    Diane clerked with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, gaining experience in the Victim Impact Program, Child Abduction Unit, and Animal Cruelty Unit.


    Her work in the Animal Cruelty Unit provided early exposure to legal matters involving animals and animal-related harm—experience that now complements her extensive firsthand involvement with dogs and her work as a California dog bite attorney.

The Mission 

Mission Statement

Diane Chang Law is committed to providing personal injury clients with direct attorney access, focused representation, and a clear understanding of their case from beginning to end.


The firm was built around the belief that injured people should be able to communicate directly with the attorney responsible for their case rather than being routinely passed between intake staff, case managers, and assistants.


Diane described that distinction clearly when discussing her approach to client representation: clients at many personal injury firms may rarely speak with an attorney, while at her firm, clients have direct access to her.


“I built my practice around personal involvement. When I take your case, I stay involved in the strategy, the negotiations, and the outcome.” — Diane Chang

At Felipe Law, our mission is simple: to serve with integrity, communicate with clarity, and treat every client with the care and attention we’d give our own family.

We’re not a firm built on volume. We’re built on relationships. Whether you're seeking justice after an accident or navigating a complex construction issue, we guide you through each decision with honesty, empathy, and deep legal insight. For us, this work is personal.
