J Diener

Rating: 4.2 / 4

I am a litigator with over 15 years’ experience representing businesses across a wide array of industries in contractual, corporate, employment and real estate disputes, as well as matters of regulatory compliance. In addition to business litigation, I have substantial experience in trust and estate disputes (TEDRA), representing personal representatives and trustees against all manner of claims and ensuring that directives expressed in wills and trusts are properly carried out. On top of my extensive litigation practice, I also enjoy crafting arguments at the appellate level, having argued multiple cases in front of the Washington Court of Appeals and the Idaho Supreme Court.. I thrive in the courtroom and pride myself on my ability to relay my clients’ stories to judges and juries in ways that are easily understood and incredibly persuasive. I know that every issue my clients bring to me is important to them, and I treat every case with the utmost sincerity and care from start to finish. With that in mind, I am always straightforward and candid with my clients and offer strategies that are most likely to bring a successful resolution. I am also an excellent negotiator, having successfully resolved numerous contentious disputes outside the courtroom for the benefit of my clients.. Prior joining Beresford Booth, I was a shareholder at a Spokane law firm where I served on the firm’s Executive Committee. I received my education from the University of Idaho, graduating magna cum laude from the College of Law.

David Ryder

Rating: 5 / 4.4

I am a solution-oriented attorney in my 34th year of practice.  I balance my practice between work for a large corporate client (Puget Sound Energy) and individuals who are in need of counsel for their personal injury and criminal misdemeanor issues.  As a sole practitioner, I can be an option for those who prefer high quality, personalized service.. I am Ivy League educated (Brown University, 1977) and I attended the University of Washington Law School (Class of 1981).  I have been in sole practice since 1983.  For the first 20 years of my practice, I was located in downtown Seattle.  In 2001, I relocated my office to downtown Edmonds.. Most of my clients are referrals from other satisfied clients and attorneys who trust me.  I am accessible (I return all calls in the same day). My fee (whether a retainer, contingent fee, or hourly fee) is discussed openly and honestly from the outset.. If you find yourself in need of counsel, please feel free call or email my office.  I am direct regarding my availability.  If I am unable to take your case, I have a few referrals that may work for you.
