About Betty
Biography
I have been a practicing attorney for 18 years. I started my career as a judicial law clerk for three district court judges in Minnesota. I continued in public service as a public defender and attorney for two pdominant legal aid organizations in Northern Virginia. After a decade of public service, I entered private practice in 2011. My practice consists of a wide range of civil and criminal matters.
