Divorce

Pam is an incredible lawyer and human being. I have had the pleasure of being represented by her and have felt completely taken care of from day one. She has gone above and beyond in my case. I hired her to replace another lawyer who began over charging me for less and less work. I have an extremely... difficult ex who has been dragging my case on unnecessarily and she has been handling it with utmost care and attention and has been a source of comfort through this difficult time. She has been a real advocate for me and understands the difficult situation I am in. She won me a portion of my exes stock options, which I would not have received had I not hired her. My other lawyer had not even mentioned this. Thankfully my ex dragged it on, had he not, I would not have fought for this. She has made my life better for having her as my lawyer. Truly what a lawyer's duty really is.

Great Lawyer!!

Miss Bettis, was a terrific lawyer! She was professional, always returned my phone calls, answered any questions I had big or small. My family had a tramatic car wreck and she handled everything for us. I would definitely recommend her to everyone. She also was compassionate about our fears. We are s...o glad we choice her.

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."

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."
