Elizabeth Anne Haslett

I hired Mrs Haslett for an ongoing child custody case. After using another lawyer who was making all the wrong moves. Mrs Haslett was phenomenal she had every answer to not only my questions but was quick with the appropriate response when the judge had 1. Prior "anonymous" post I highly disagree with. I'm forever thankful to Mrs Haslett I was rewarded full custody in Florida not a normal decision and more, this was 2 years ago and I thank her everyday, having my son with me safe and sound and growing up in a good environment pleases me everyday! Thank you Elizabeth from the bottom of my heart. Wally

I have put off writing this review out of retaliation but after months of no calls back while still representing me, it doesn’t even matter. First and foremost, I hired Betsy Haslett for a family law case involving prior DV and SA. These matters were not handled diligently whatsoever. Instead, the paralegal gave me the absolute worst advice and sabotaged my case from the get go. I was told everything would be filed and i would be fine. Instead nothing was filed until almost a year later, a few days before court because dad served me. Betsy has 0 compassion for her clients or her job it seems like. She was the best lawyer ever until she got my payment. They told me it would be better not to file anything and wait around for dad to. They then told me they will pause the little bit of payments I have until then because I am a struggling widowed mom who just moved across the country. Then again backtracked and said they never told me that. I have gotten upset on the phone multiple times over the situation and Betsy decides to threaten to stop me as a client because she doesn’t like my whining. When we finally had court she did absolutely nothing at all. She allowed the other party to drag my name through the mud and make me look bad and mentioned NOTHING about the childhood SA, DV, the lack of help in general. She didn’t do anything for me! It was a temp hearing in may and I can’t get ahold of her since then meanwhile dad has blocked all contact, failed to enroll our child in school etc. She told me we should wait AGAIN to just drag out the process for more money of course. I regret giving this law firm a penny of my money. Every other attorney has said she dropped the ball so hard on my case they don’t even know how to fix her mess! I’ve contacted the state bar to file a formal complaint at this point!

This hired lawyer is an underhanded, lying, back stabbing lawyer with a law degree. Don't retain her, RUN!!!!! She is only out for your money and will not, will not represent you to the fullest. Excuses, Excuses!! The initial retainer, she'll be glad to take your money. But after that, you're on HOLD. She will only represent you in an injunction case while hiring another lawyer to assist her. They're all in cahoots together to get more money out of you. They will take your money and not give you an itemized bill in return. Still waiting.. Don't waste your time. This lawyer has no morals or values. When you contact her office, she doesn't return calls. Her paralegal always say, leave a message and I'll have her to call you back. No, wait. She's on vacation for two weeks. leave a message (BEEP) So, they have spent your retainer money that you have given them for hire and now they're on the beach sipping Mai Tai's on your dime.

Based from my experience hiring her and working for my case, if I have extra money on my pocket I will hire an aggressive, compassionate, dedicated, and accessible attorney. My case dragged for so long. She had way too many excuses why the case was taking so long. sometimes I was wondering if she is for me or the other party because all she did for was cave in to the other party. Not only once did I ever think of changing a lawyer but I have invested heavily on her to work on my case but to no avail. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars but I have lost. She is not an effective lawyer. Do yourself a favor. Get a lawyer that will truly fight for you. Don't waste your time and money on her.
