Curtis Brunjes
Having worked with Diane on numerous occasions and many legal issues, I can unequivocally state that she is a thorough and tenacious lawyer-- very well steeped in real estate and other matters. She digs in with a vigor I've not often encountered! Highest recommendation!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Diane the past 1 1/2 years as the company’s corporate attorney. She brings a wealth of knowledge and a problem solving mindset in every aspect of a real estate transaction. We’ve built a great rapport and working relationship. I love working and learning from her !

Diane has helped me and my business with several legal issues involving leases and contracts. She's masterfully drafted new ones, she's meticulously critiqued existing ones, and she's provided immeasurable guidance and help while we navigated some real estate challenges and strategies. She's punctual, thorough, VERY friendly, and overall just a delight to work with. We've paid a lot of attorneys a lot of money and I wish we knew Diane before we hired anyone else. She's caught glaring mistakes and poor practices written into contracts other (real estate) attorneys missed or failed to explain to us. I can't endorse Diane enough as a compassionate, thoughtful, and caring attorney who genuinely wants to help her clients have smooth, stress-minimized, and successful business ventures. She's a wealth of information and she's always patient and kind in explaining things. It's a shame it's so hard to find an attorney you feel like is genuinely "in your corner" and not just absolutely hamstringing you for every little thing they claim to have done for you. Even more valuable is that Diane is actually highly experienced with business herself. So she's not just an expert in the law, she's an entrepreneur and business owner too. As a business owner, I found her depth of knowledge and experience in what I had to consider (in addition to legal documents) to provide tremendously valuable guidance at crucially important stages in our business cycle. I'll stop gushing about Diane now, but I can't endorse her enough and I'm confident anyone who works with her will have an equally wonderful exerience! Thank you, Diane!
