Quelques références sur les services de Diane Goullard…

Diane is an extremely personable woman. She is very warm, has a great sense of humor and can at the same time command respect from her students. I have met few teachers who exude such a sense of enthusiasm for their subject and for life in general. Her students have learned excellent oral skills from her teaching and both took the fourth-year French Language Advanced Placement Examination. She also tutored other students from this private school who were having academic problems. Both the students and the parents have been very complimentary about her work as a tutor.

I include Diane Goullard (formerly Hanson) among the best half dozen legal assistants I have ever seen. She has all the basic skills, but she also possesses several additional positive characteristics that are rare. First, she has initiative. Second, she thinks about and implements ways to make a case more manageable, so that unnecessary costs are avoided. Third, she is extremely careful and detail oriented. Fourth, Diane has energy and is willing to devote it to get the job done. Fifth, Diane is fluent in French. This language ability has been crucial to me. In essence, I find Diane to be that rare breed of legal assistant: A true professional, someone who does not do only what she is told, but who wants to be involved and who wants to be challenged.
