Diana Bauer

Expert guidance through a complex estate dispute

We engaged Diana Bauer to assist our family with a challenging and emotionally charged dispute over my late father's trust. The situation involved competing claims from beneficiaries and complex tax implications we didn't fully understand. From our first meeting at the Ponte Vedra Beach office, Diana's deep knowledge of both trusts and estates litigation and the underlying tax law was immediately apparent. She patiently explained the nuances of Florida probate law and the litigation process in a way we could grasp, which was invaluable. Her recognition in these specific fields by Best Lawyers gave us great confidence. Diana crafted a strategic approach that avoided unnecessary court drama, ultimately negotiating a settlement that protected our interests and the estate's assets from significant tax consequences. Her seven years of focused experience in this niche area truly showed. While we were very pleased with the outcome, there were a few instances where email responses took a bit longer than expected, likely due to her caseload. Overall, Diana is a sharp, dedicated attorney at Fisher, Tousey, Leas & Ball who we would highly recommend for anyone navigating similar estate or trust complexities.
