Mistake from the beginning

From the first consultation with Ms. Bettis she gave us inaccurate information causing us to lose our case before we even got started! On more than one occasion she acted first and then asked our permission when we would never have OK'd it to begin with. She can't ever keep up with what she has said... (even when it is in an email for her to look back over), and often does the complete opposite of what she said she would do or what we asked her to do. Due to her incompetence, we got into a legal battle we never had a chance of winning because she told us multiple times we could win and gave us wrong information. Please don't waste your money on her, unless you plan on lots of frustration and money lost!

Family lawyer | Jun 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Pam is an amazing lawyer. She and I have been co-counsel on numerous criminal cases, not only is she brilliant, but she truly cares about her clients. I do not handle family law cases, so I refer those cases to Pam and her law partner on a daily basis. I know my clients are getting the best possible care if Pam is their lawyer."

Criminal defense lawyer | May 27

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Ms. Bettis, wholeheartedly. She is an excellent trial attorney who works tirelessly on behalf of her clients. She works cases to discovery all the relevant information, and uses that to the client's benefit; while, at the same time, being upfront and honest with her clients, other attorneys, and the court(s). There's not a better criminal defense attorney on Atlanta's southside."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
