Well-Deserved Stellar Reputation

I highly recommend Diane Crosier who represented me during divorce and post divorce. She handled emergency hearings, emergency restraining orders, mediation, and assets and liabilities professionally and knowledgeably. She answered questions quickly and thoroughly and was able to act quickly as twist...s and turns occurred. She helped me through a very difficult time and I truly appreciated how attentive, knowledgeable, and quick she was. Diane is very respected in the legal community and my interactions with her made it very evident why!

6 Stars!

Diane has handled all our legal documents, from wills to power of attorney and a couple of quit claim deeds. We travel a lot and are currently living out of the country. Diane holds our power of attorney with signature authority to handle any legal manners for us. We completely trust her to always... do as we request. I can't recommend her high enough.

Super lawyer!

I cannot say enough good things about Diane Crosier. She listened to my concerns and what I wanted, then would lead me in the right direction. I am so happy that she was my lawyer through my divorce.

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.
