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!

Betsy Is the Best! Order of Protection!

While no one wishes to find themselves in an order of protection case, I was one of those persons who needed an attorney to provide counsel through a difficult time. Attorney Betsy Ehlen was the knowledgeable, trustworthy attorney who guided me through this process. Not only was she able to repre...sent me during this extremely stressful and emotionally draining process, but offered a layer of emotional support through her calm and empathetic demeanor. Her straight forward, no nonsense approach for gathering and presenting the facts, got me the order of protection without going to hearing. Attorney Ehlen made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her without reservation. Betsy Is the Best!

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.

Excellent work Betsy

Betsy Ehlen, Represented me in fighting a false restraining made by my Ex who is a police officer and chose to use his power to keep control of me. Just when I thought there was no hope for me to live a normal life without his abuse, I was referred to Betsy who showed me just because they have a badg...e does not mean they are right, Nor does it mean abuse it without repercussion. Betsy fought for me tooth and nail and won my case. The high cost for every little thing was a bit unfair sometimes but all-in-all the results were worth every penny. And in the end she surprised me with great discounts and I would hire her again in a heartbeat, but fingers crossed it will never come to that. And I will reffer friends and family without a shadow of a doubt. It was a blessing having Betsy's support through my difficult time. Thank you Betsy Ehlen

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!!!
