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.
