Best family lawyer!

I've already recommended Betsy to a couple of people and they are very happy as well. Betsy is very thorough and professional, she will fight for you 'till your case is resolved. She is not afraid to challenge opponents when her clients rights and safety are on the line. I reached out to Betsy when ...no one was listening to me and she immediately stepped in and resolved my case fairly. I couldn't have dealt with the judicial system alone. Very grateful for Betsy and her team!

Good Lawyer Changes My Mind About Them

I was lead to believe my case could drag on for months, maybe a year. Ms Eheln did it in 2 months I'm leery of lawyers but she changed my mind about that

Order of protection: First-rate Representation

Ms. Ehlen successfully represented me in an order of protection case. This was a difficult case that many others might not have accepted because it was not the typical domestic violence OP case, but Ms. Elhen accepted the challenge anyway. It was a stressful period for me, especially because I am ver...y young with little experience in the court system, but Ms. Elhen was exceptionally helpful in explaining everything and preparing me for the process. Aside from her deep knowledge and expertise in the field, the sensitivity and thoughtfulness that Ms. Elhen applied to her work was invaluable. She provided me with different routes of action throughout the process and never wavered in her confidence in me and my case. In the end, I could not have asked for a better person to represent me and would highly recommend her to any friend or person who needed legal help.

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.
