Top Notch Lawyer!

Having consulted with Diane on several cases, I can say she has the experience, sensitivity and expertise to provide exemplary legal services with the deepest of compassion during very stressful times. Her caring but professional style puts you at ease knowing you are in capable and caring hands. She... is the "go to" lawyer for estate planning and probate services in the DC Metro area.

Highly recommend

Diane coached us start-to-finish with an estate plan. She is very knowledgeable and made us feel like our work was her top priority. Easy to reach by phone and by email.

Great Estate Planning Attorney

Diane was very helpful and very mindful of the issues I had regarding my estate planning matters. I worked with her years ago and again this year. I would recommend her and have recommended her to many of my friends.

Wrong Estate Attorney for the Job

I found this attorney to be inept and unresponsive to my mother's estate. It took forever to receive drafts of estate documents as well as my mother's estate. I found her to be unsure as to which route to advise me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
