Terrific representation

For the first time, after 35 years of practice, a client made a formal complaint with the State Bar of California. I contacted Ms. Karpman as I had met her through her work with the American Bar Association and because I had read many of her articles on Ethic in our state bar journal. She, indeed..., had a depth of knowledge re state and national professional responsibility and was able to hone in on the relevant documents in a large and complex case. She is very intelligent, empathetic and honest. We were able to organize a strong defense together. I would highly recommend her.

"What can you say about perfection? Diane Karpman lives up to her well deserved and hard earned reputation. She is THE GO TO PERSON for lawyers who have been contacted, rightly or wrongly, by the State bar of California. She knows her stuff and will competently and zealously defend her clients. I have always enjoyed the courses she gives on ethics. I am not alone. If you read the review of other lawyers attending her courses, they generally give her five stars. She imparts the information, keeps everyone's attention, and makes the class fun. I look forward to taking another one of her series. She also has a great column in the state bar newspaper. I used to save her articles. She is THE BEST!!!"

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.
