She was the best during one of my worst times!

Betsy Ehlen is amazing to work with. She is knowledgeable, dependable, honest, fair, patient, and strong. She was such a great advocate for my kids and me. I was so lucky to find her!

Outstanding Domestic Family attorney

I have been working with Betsy for several years. I have a familiarity with other attorneys. There are few exceptions to the practice of "churning". In fact it is almost impossible to find an attorney, like Betsy Ehlen, who not only provides for an outstanding council, but is not part of the team ...of greedy attorneys. The result of her efforts was a win/win for my children as well as their parents.

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

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 Ehlen - expert in order of protection cases

Betsy Ehlen represented me through the process of getting an order of protection and other matters pertaining to dissolving my separation from ex-fiancé. Through this very difficult period Betsy was incredibly helpful in explaining the process to me, she kept me informed of what to expect and alway...s explained my options in a clear and concise manner. I always felt confident that Betsy knew all the details of the case and was representing me in the best possible way. I was very pleased with the outcome of the situation and I felt that Betsy did everything possible to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. Betsy clearly has deep knowledge about the Chicago court systems and is experienced in the matters she represented me on, this experience was incredibly valuable. I also found her personal style to be very engaging, which made explaining the details of something very upsetting that much easier.
