Whether advocating in court or guiding clients through complex immigration processes, she brings empathy, determination, and a strong sense of purpose to every case. Ashley’s work is driven by a desire to give voice to the voiceless and to fight for fair treatment
under the law.

Diamond Griffith is an Intermediate Litigation Attorney at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., where she focuses her practice on truck accidents, commercial vehicle crashes, and serious personal injury claims across Texas. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Diamond developed her passion for justice early in life. As the daughter of immigrant parents, she experienced firsthand the difficulties of navigating complex systems. That experience taught her the importance of advocacy and gave her the drive to become a voice for people facing difficult challenges.
Guided by this purpose, Diamond charted her academic path with deliberation and resolve. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Georgia State University, followed by a Juris Doctor from Barry University’s Dwayne O. Andreas School of Law. During law school, Diamond served on the executive board of the Black Law Students Association, moderated panels for the American Bar Association, and gained hands-on experience clerking for the Hon.

Since joining Herrman & Herrman, Diamond has represented injured Texans in truck accident cases, commercial vehicle claims, car crashes, wrongful death lawsuits and premises liability claims. Her approach combines compassion, precision, and aggressive advocacy. She has helped recover over a million dollars in settlements for her clients, but her greatest satisfaction comes from knowing she’s made a tangible difference in people’s lives when they needed it most.
