Hired Attorney Dimitra S. Scott

Dimitra Scott was a consummate professional throughout my wife's and my out-of-state adoption journey. She was responsive to our questions, provided clear explanations in our various Zoom meetings and phone calls, and maintained constant text and phone call communication on the big day of the adoption itself. She and her office went out of their way to make us feel confident before, during, and after the adoption process. We can't recommend her legal services for adoption highly enough.

Hired Attorney Dimitra S. Scott

Dimitra Scott at Beresford Booth Law Office is truly exceptional. She made my adoption process so much less stressful, which is no small feat given how complex and emotional it can be. Dimitra is incredibly kind, compassionate, and hardworking. Thanks to her efficiency and attention to detail, even though my adoption happened so quickly. She made sure every aspect was taken care of, allowing me to focus on the most important part: meeting and getting to know my newborn son. From the first consultation to the finalization of the adoption, Dimitra consistently demonstrated deep expertise and genuine care for my case. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to guide me through such an important life event. If you’re looking for someone who is not only a skilled lawyer but also a caring advocate, I highly recommend Dimitra Scott.

Hired Law Firm

I worked with Babak Shamshi at Beresford Booth for a 2.5-year family property dispute. Babak was professional, knowledgeable, and personable, guiding us through filing the complaint, discovery, mediation, and settlement. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to avoid full litigation. While the case took longer than expected due to the unreasonable behavior of a family member, Babak prepared us for the process and kept us informed at every step. He minimized legal jargon and explained things clearly, so we always felt confident in our decisions. Babak and his team were supportive, consulting experts when needed and helping us navigate difficult situations. We didn’t get everything we hoped for, but we achieved the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Babak and the team at Beresford Booth for anyone facing a complex legal matter.

Hired Law Firm

Noone should ever have to enter the legal system without a good attorney. I was blessed to have chosen a great firm, Baresford Booth PLLC and more then grateful to have had JP Diener and Kelsey Affronte as my attorneys, to help me through a very traumatic situation in my life. They not only were able to dig through all the garbage and won our case for us and they held are hands through the whole process. Explained everything, made themselves available to us no matter how silly some of our questions were. I could have never gone through this without them. In a scale of 1 -10 I give them a 10+ on all count. I will be forever grateful for them and all off the support staff at Baresford Booth. All were e. I were exceptional and I recommend them to everyone, always knowing they will go the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of.

Hired Attorney William Kessler

I highly recommend William Kessler as a real estate and business lawyer. My wife and I seek William's advice as entrepreneurs and real estate investors. He has advised us on the type of business structure that protects our business and personal assets, along with our living will and trust. I highly recommend William. He is very responsive, current on best law practices, and communicates clearly so that we understand all of our options, risks and benefits in making large financial decisions.
