Posted by Allison | July 09, 2015 | Divorce & Separation

Excellent guide & advocate during divorce

I found Mr. Diener through the Alexandria Bar Association referral service. He assisted with my separation agreement and divorce. He was well-informed, helpful, thorough, responsive, patient and - best of all - calm and reassuring throughout the process. He did an excellent job as my lawyer and would... refer him without question.

Posted by Becky | June 21, 2012 | Appeals

Best Unemployment lawyer in Virginia

Mr. Diener was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in my unemployment appeals case. He is extremely kind and patient which is a blessing in a stressful situation such as this. He reviewed all the documents prior the the appeals hearing and went over them with me. He prepared me for every situation th...at may arise during the hearing, ensuring that I was as comfortable and as ready as I could be for the pending hearing. During the hearing, he took his time with me to make sure I was comfortable and understood the questions being asked to me. He made sure that I clearly answered them with confidence. His confidence in himself was passed through to me making me confident in myself and that we did the very best we could in this case. As a result, winning this appeals case. Even though our contract was only for the appeals case, Mr. Diener has requested that I keep him informed if former employer appeals this decision, showing that he truly cares about his clients, not just as clients. I will use Mr. Diener for any future legal needs I may have with out any doubt.

Responisve, winning lawyer

Mr. Diener successfully represented me during a discrimination case against my former employer. He returned my phone calls in a timely manner, kept me well-informed throughout the whole process and helped minimize the emotional impact that comes with filing a lawsuit. I felt comfortable confiding in ...him and he kept my best interests in mind.

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 20

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I endorse this lawyer. Keith worked for me several years ago in a major criminal securities fraud case, doing outstanding research, analysis, and writing for an important pretrial motion. After this time, I chose him to help me with researching and writing an important chapter in my book White Collar Crime: Securities Fraud, published by Thomson/West. Based on my experience working with him, I have found Keith to be diligent, extremely motivated, and highly skilled."
