Brad Smith, Litigation Attorney on Jun 30, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I worked with JP on a commercial litigation matter, and he acted with professionalism and expertise in representing his client. I look forward to working with him again.
I have referred many people to Mr. Diener, and I would unquestionably hire him myself. In addition to being a brilliant and dedicated attorney with high integrity, he is compassionate, fair-minded, and witty. Legal problems are rarely pleasant, but it is always a pleasure to work with JP.

Erik Bakke, Commercial real estate Attorney on Feb 8, 2011
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with JP for the last 6 years. He is one of Washington's raising legal stars. He is more than competent as a lawyer, but unlike so many, he has the compassion for his clients that sets him apart from most other lawyers. If you need a lawyer in the areas of litigation, commercial law or real estate, you will be pleased with your choice of JP Diener. He will always be there when you need him.
