This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Took Care of Everything MUCH better than if I had....

I had to leave the state before my house closing. I hired Betsy to represent me in my absence. As the process unfolded several issues came up concerning the previous owner's title and the new buyer's lender -- Betsy caught everything even before the other parties did and stayed on those issue until t...hey were all resolved. If I had tried to do this myself, disaster would have ensued. She was my peace of mind guarantee. I would hire her again in an instant if I needed an attorney!

Excellent lawyer

Betsy was my closing attorney when I sold my house and she also did my will including all the associated documents. Neither of my "jobs" were cooie cutter simple projects. Betsy researched everything, kept me updated, always returned my calls the same day and most of all she is great to wotk with. ... I would recommmend her to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
