Over charged and spoiled my real estate purchase

Dee Wallis delayed in providing an offer to purchase for a real estate cash purchase I was trying to make, charged an enormous amount of money to generate the offer, and then treated my seller so poorly, they backed out of the deal rather than continue to interact with her. She had helped me before, ...but this was an important deal for me, which went south, and she still wants me to pay her huge fee. I won’t be using her again.

Exvcellent Serivice

Fast, efficient, thorough, consistent and dependable pretty well sums it up. Her unique experience with the issues concerning elder persons was extremely helpful to us. We highly recommend her!

Highly competent, experienced and knowledgeable attorney - the Best!

We have dealt with many lawyers over the years, but none better than Diane. She gives sound advice, quick response and expedient turn-over of legal documents for both our company and for ourselves. Her advice alone is worth every penny, and her compassion and concern for her clients is second to no...ne. She simplifies and makes understandable the maze of complex legalities and isues with ease and thoroughness. We give her the highest rating possible without reservation! Many thanks Diane for all your help.

NEVER let this woman be executor!

Poor communication. Wallis made the choice to sell parts of my family estate without discussing it or informing me of it. She traded belongings for site labor, which is amazing. She had no idea of the value or the belongings she chose to give away, or their value to the family or the public.

Dee has been a leader in the organization, always promoting women in the profession and sharing her wealth of knowledge with her colleagues, including me. Dee has acted as a mentor for me in estate planning and administration and is a trusted advisor and friend. I highly endorse Dee in estate and elder law matters.
