Reviews for Astrid
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Astrid de Parry and her staff exemplify professionalism, courtesy, and attentiveness. We were accommodated with solicitude and consistently treated respectfully and fairly; every question was succinctly answered. Fees and costs were clearly explained. We are grateful to have her very competent representation and have not been disappointed by Ms. de Parry or her staff.
I am in my late 60’s and have used many attorneys over the prior decades. Astrid de Parry without a doubt has been the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of handling my affairs. Before being referred to Astrid via another attorney I had been using multiple attorneys for various issues. Because of Astrid’s diversity, she’s been able to handle every aspect of my needs. I highly recommend Astrid to anyone seeking a proactive, attentive, and highly knowledgeable attorney.
We just wanted to say thank you very much for such a great job you did on our wills. We were very pleased with your excellent communication, attention to detail, and thoroughness. We would highly recommend you to any of our friends.
Ms. de Parry kept me informed in a timely manner. She answered all of my questions. She is very knowledgeable and professional. I would not hesitate to secure her services again.
Ms. deParry is readily available to solve any problem. Her counsel is invaluable. While many people think they don't need an attorney and can do things on their own, Ms. deParry always points out the issues that need to be addressed.
When dealing with Astrid DeParry, you know that you are not only in the hands of a brilliant legal mind, but also in the hands of someone who is constitutionally unable to be dishonest. Her ability to take a complex legal document, or a complex legal case, and explain it in language that is clear and concise and understandable is an exceptionally valuable skill. Everyone needs legal help sooner or later, and Ms. deParry makes it an experience where one feels empowered rather than dumb.
Astrid De Parry is smart, responsive, and in my opinion the antithesis of what makes lawyers the objects of jokes.
I have known Astrid de Parry for 33 years, first as colleague, then as client and friend. One of the smartest, most skilled professionals I will ever meet, she combines powerful analytic intelligence, wisdom, hard-headed practical realism, and capacity for empathy. Thorough, precise, efficient and poised, even under high pressure; exceptionally clear communicator; outstanding listener; never confrontational or dogmatic. Gives objective advice. Absolutely loyal, honest and trustworthy.
Astrid has been my attorney and friend since moving to Florida 13 years ago. She is knowledgeable in all aspects of family, estate, real estate, and small business law where I've needed her services. She communicates clearly, is punctual, and knows how to "influence" the other party in disputes. The one time I didn't follow Astrid's advice I got really stung. Won't happen again! I recommend her legal services to anyone who wants the very best of ethics and representation.
