"Solid As A Rock"

Right when I thought my future was over, felt powerless,irresponsible and careless over what I thought wouId be the rest of my life. Then I met Bethany, my past is what didn't matter to her. She looked past my mistakes and flaws. Bethany saw everything that could change my life and believed that ...all I needed was to "Never stop giving up". And throughout our case I started believing her because Bethany never gave up. The experience that I had with the Bethany and her colleagues was amazing. She assisted me to get to where I am today. Bethany did for me what I couldn't do for myself. Thank You, you have achieved and proven that the world isn't really that bad. That possibilities are endless. Tom

Excellent Attorney

I work in the mental health field. I've referred many of the individuals I work with to Ms. Bethany Versical because she seems to always get positive results. I believe that she gets the results she gets because she spends valued time with each individual she works with long before the last minutes b...efore the hearing. She also has the talent of getting background information from individuals that really matters in the court room. Ms. Versical gets 5 stars from me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
