Dianna is the utmost professional and exhibited in her ability to explain things that one can understand, extensive experience and knowledge shared in real-life situations that you would have never have thought of, patience and excellence in customer service to ensure your trust meets your personal desires and most importantly, legal requirements. Her attention to detail and taking the time to explain things are as valuable as the your completed trust which is very thorough and accounts for so many more contingencies than our previous trust. We thank our financial consultant for referring us to her!

Just finished our estate planning with Dianna. Let me say that yes there are many, many other attorneys out there that do estate planning, but I don't know how this could have been done better. Dianna is very organized and she followed thru with everything she had said and the finished product, a large, very detailed, binder spelling every detail out was amazing. I feel very blessed to have met Dianna and would recommend her to all my friends and family. She knows the law and is very good at what she does. I work in law enforcement and have lots of experience working with attorneys. Dianna is very diligent and responds to emails and calls quickly. Very satisfied. Thanks again, Mark

Dianna Wilke deserves more than the allotted 5 stars. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate. Discussing ones will is an emotional event, however with Dianna that response dissipates. I've made a few changes to my will with other attorneys in the past, however was very dissatisfied with those appointments. Dianna was recommended to me by a very reliable source and I be will forever grateful for providing me with her name. Let me give you the “gift" of recommending her to you too!

My wife and I worked with Dianna last year setting up our trust. She worked with our specific wishes and spoke in plain English walking us through the steps. I work with people's attorneys on a regular basis and no other has informed and cared for clients in the way Dianna has for us. She also made sure to add our second son to the trust after he was born and is always responsive when we have changes or questions! We would highly recommend her.

I was referred to Dianna Wilke by my banker and am very happy he did so. Dianna guided me through the legal issues on my mother's estate and set up my personal estate as well. She is friendly and approachable, very knowledgeable and all the while able to explain the legal issues in a manner that is understandable. I highly recommend Dianna for your legal needs.

Dianna Wilke is the consummate professional. I have recommended Dianna, numerous times, to professionals and friends. She has been our attorney for many years. And it is most comforting knowing that she will always guide us in the right direction to achieve our goals.I

I referred my parents to Dianna to prepare their estate plan. Dianna was very attentive to the concerns and intentions of my parents and our family and delivered an excellent product. I would gladly recommend her to anyone in need of an estate planner.

From the moment she answered the phone, she was personable, and quickly answered our questions. Dianna was easy to make an appointment that worked within our schedules. The office was clean, neat, and the person at the front counter was friendly and cheerful. As we did not know how to do our Living Trust, she walked us through all the steps and got right to doing the work. The visit was smooth, efficient, and moved right along. We are very pleased how Dianna helped us through this unclear and little scary process. We now have our Living Trust in our hands and we do know where to go from here. We cannot think of one thing that gave us a bad feeling during this whole process. I would recommend Dianna Wilke to anyone, in fact we already have to family members and our friends. We are so glad we chose her from the avvo site. As that is where we found her. Thank you for making this site available.
