Long term satisfied client

Bettina has represented me for nearly 20 years on several matters most notably child support modifications that my ex brought me back to court for every two years. She was always very professional and on top of the facts of the situation. She communicated with me regularly, particularly via e-ma...il that is my preferred method of communication. I have recommended her and would highly recommend her to anyone needing family legal services.

Very poor counsel

Bettina Holton showed up late for court on numerous occasions and at least twice did not show up at all. I hired her several years ago for divorce, modification (of all kinds) and visitation issues. She does not return any phone calls and in fact is not much of a counsel as she did not work for me ...in any sense of the word. She was disorganized in court, lost many of her notes, as stood passively as the opposing attorney spoke many lies about the case in which we had evidence to the contrary. Ms. Holton would not 'counter' these nor provide the evidence. This resulted in the judge taking completely false statements as true. She was apathetic and did not do anything that I asked of her. Furthermore never explained her 'strategy' but when and if she showed up for court it was clear she had none. Ms. Holton failed to turn over documents on my behalf. She didn't even notify me of a court day until the morning of. Very unprepared for court on many occasions. Ms. Holton had a habit of 'winging' it which did not work out to my favor. She charges a lot but doesn't put forth the effort on your behalf.

Do NOT Hire Bettina Holton!

I've used Atty. Holton for family law in 2009-2010. She NEVER answers or returns my email, telephone calls, mail, etc. She has showed up late to court withOUT calling! Sometimes I am charged for travel time other times not for trial dates. I always pay on time in full and I've given her over $800...0 and she could care less about me & my case, which she knows nothing about even though I have given her ALL the tools she needs to help me win my case. Never hire her again and neither should you.
