Bettina M. Holton

Each case has it details ,, as a lawyer Bettina I feel does the best for her clients given the current laws and court system , at the time of my case I felt I had lost , but given time to reflect on it's out come I have come to understand it could have been worst given the facts of the case and what ...the court system is like .. If you are looking for someone to hold your hand , let you cry on their shoulder and to be the emotional sponge... This is not her job , she takes the facts of the case and does the best she can with the train wreck of a court system that is what divorce court here in Massachusetts . You are dealing with a system where the judge you have in your case is more important than your lawyer. I feel that Bettina gives you the best efforts to hopefully a fair or at least livable out come to a bad position .

Bettina represented me in my divorce and she was awful. Bad negotiator, didn't really look out for my best interests - just wanted the billable hours. Rarely reviewed anything I sent her and didn't even show up for a critical meeting and at my court date. She had some Assistant that didn't know any...thing about my divorce show up. When the judge asked if I had been given proper representation, I said "I just met this woman this morning - my lawyer didn't even show up". It didn't make a big difference, but it was very disrespectful - pretty much how she works. It wasn't until later that I realized that she hadn't done anything that she could have to make the divorce more equitable and I was saddled with all of the large debt despite the financial shenanigans my ex had pulled without my knowledge. Other people have told me that I was cheated and not represented well at all. I wouldn't recommend her to get out of a cardboard box. She has no conscience about the fact that she is messing with people's lives and they have to live with consequences she has the power to help shape.

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.
