We Were Blessed

It is with a grateful heart that I write this attribute to a woman who has been there through thick and thin for my family, and showed us that it is not as stressful a situation we were anticipating. Bettina Altizer, of Altizer Law, PC came to me as a result of just searching for an attorney to assi...st us with a wrongful death situation way back in 1998. We were in turmoil after the stressful death of my mother in law, and we were so very confused. It was not that we wanted a windfall, that could never replace Mom. It was because of the situation that the person in question was still allowed to possibly hurt others. Well, Bettina understood and fully invested herself, heart and soul, to help us feel that justice would be done. Bettina helped us feel better about this legal matter, and did everything she could possibly do to make it less painful in each and every way, ways that we never even imagined. All calls were taken immediately, or we were called back within a very short time frame, every step of the way we were kept informed of the process and what to expect in the near future. Bettina also let us know that we were not bad people for doing what we felt was the right thing to do. Eventually, the case settled, and the ability to prevent future misconduct to someone else was totally satisfied. We felt vindicated that we received the justice we were seeking, and the comfort and care of Bettina and her office staff made us feel as if we were with family the entire time. My heartfelt appreciation has never wavered, and yes, there was a subsequent situation we sought her assistance for in 2008, a personal injury situation. We received all of the same care as the initial situation, nothing changed, and we were treated like family. If I ever need an attorney, Bettina Altizer is the one, no question. I thank God for directing me to her initially. If you are looking for someone who is in the legal arena for the right reasons, I recommend Bettina Altizer with every inch of my being and wish you the best in whatever your situation is.

Real personal service.

At this point, we have had a consult--and I will hire her. She really listens, she analyzes the situation, and then she thoughtfully proceeds. I am impressed.

Ms. Altizer is a wonderful attorney

Ms. Altizer represented me in a small claims matter. Even though the amount I was trying to recover was less than $1,000, she still treated my case as if it had a million dollar value. The defendant said I would not win, but Ms. Altizer made sure that I did through her hard work and due-diligence. ... Not only did I win my case, but I also received the money owed me from the defendant within a few days – which is highly unusual. She goes above and beyond for her clients. She is very good at what she does and I highly recommend her and her firm.
