Above and beyond

Diane is my fathers lawyer. He's about to be 101 years old. She has been kind, compassionate and fiercely protective of my dad. In addition she has helped me and given me advice on other matters purely out of the goodness that's in her very big heart. I will never forget what she gave to me and I wo...uld recommend her as the best lawyer anyone could ever hire.

Professional legal Representation

Diane L. Haisha-DeForest is a very knowledgeable, professional Attorney at Law concerning all aspects of Estate Planning and Real Estate matters. Diane prepared a trust for my mother and was hired by me to litigate it with opposing counsel. She was very quick to respond and answer questions that I ...had, and addressed court matters expeditiously. Her communication skills with the court and opposing counsel were exemplary. If your looking for high quality legal representation with resonable fees, this is the best counsel around!

Reasonable Fees - Excellent work

Diane's fees were very reasonable and she explained all of the documents to me in plain english. I was referred to her by a friend who was also very happy with her services. Diane cares about her clients and included the deed to my house, notary service and recording service and recording fee in he...r Trust package. I highly recommend her to prepare your living trust, Will and other documents.
