About Beth
Biography
At Prince Law Firm, I like to say, “I don’t just represent ‘clients.’ I represent people.” My approach to the practice of family law is an integration of serious trial experience with compassionate understanding. Family law clients need strong, solid legal advice, but they also want to be heard. To ensure I can effectively tell each client’s “story” to the Court, I dedicate myself to learning the specific details that make each person’s case different. My clients appreciate my personal interest in their stories and how that translates into positive results for them.
My legal career has afforded me trial experience from both sides of the bench: I started as an Assistant Solicitor and Special Gun Prosecutor for the 14th Judicial Circuit. Following that, I was in private practice as a civil and family trial attorney. Eventually, I was appointed as a Magistrate Court Judge, where I was responsible for the jury trial docket. After I finally returned to private practice, I quickly narrowed my focus exclusively to family law, because that was where I felt I was making the greatest difference in my clients’ lives.

Research before choosing
Ms. Prince, represented me in a non-contested divorce. I was quoted a price that I agreed with however, it increased and the amount tripled from the original quote. l was misinformed on a lot of information which caused signed documents to be delayed and never got to the courts in a timely manor. ...

Replied last July 06, 2018It is unfortunate that "Anonymous" is allowed to publish defamatory statements against a professional while hiding his or her identity, particularly because the alleged events described by "Anonymous" are fictional. This account of an alleged attorney-client relationship does not comport with any of my policies regarding retainers (I do not give "quotes" and never have). Additionally, this account does not comport with reasonable outcomes under the law regarding divorce representation in general. The public should be aware that reviewers are not required to provide any proof or corroboration of their allegations contained in reviews. It is clear this reviewer (who appears actually to have left 2 reviews, while hiding behind the moniker "Anonymous") seeks only to defame me, rather than provide useful information to the public. As always, I greatly encourage any client, current or former, to allow me an opportunity to address any concerns you may have regarding my handling of your case.

More than representation
Mrs. Prince helped me with a Rule to Show Cause against my ex husband (wherein I was trying to recoup child support.) She never failed to correspond with me every bit of information that came in from the other side. She helped me to see more than the fight and settled my nerves. We never had to enter...
