Best Divorce Attorney Out There!

Going through a divorce was the hardest thing I have ever gone through, but I was lucky and fortunate to have Betsy as my attorney. She's thorough and honest and fights for your interests. She is extremely knowledgeable and beyond professional. She explained every step and at all times I felt comfort...able with the process. Divorces are emotional and draining and you need a true knowledgeable advocate on your side. Betsy is the best person to help anyone in this extremely difficult legal process. I cannot recommend her enough. I will always be indebted to Betsy for her amazing work in my divorce. I too am an attorney and can truly say that Betsy is one of the best attorneys out there. She's also a great person in general! Thank you, Betsy!

Head + Heart

Divorce is a difficult process - and can be a tremendous financial and emotional strain. In the midst of this turmoil Betsy, was an amazing ally, a true bright light in a dark place. Betsy was more than my legal counsel, she was my guide, my advocate, my confidante and at times my therapist! She ...relieved the stress of the situation by being both a top-notch legal expect and by understanding the significant human dimensions of the divorce process. I started with a high-priced LaSalle Street firm and the experience was horrible. Lack of attention and caring - shuffled off to a junior associate. Thankfully I switched to Betsy and gained her shrewd legal mind and compassionate heart.

Fantastic representation

Betsy represented me in my recent divorce, and she was efficient, reliable, and detail-focused. The entire process went very smoothly and she kept me up to date at every step. I would highly recommend her to anyone involved in a family law matter.

Betsy is truly a wonderful human being! My divorce was final prior to hiring her, and in six months she accomplished what others could not. I can finally breathe. She fought for my children and I and succeeded in a fair settlement. I would highly recommend Betsy!!!

Mrs. Ehlen represented me in my Divorce and Child Custody. I do not know how much i appreciate her hard work, time and effort. Most off all her attention to detail through my whole case. Very professional Attorney. I definitely recommend her to take your case. Thank you so much Betsy!
