Hire Betsy! You won’t regret it!!!

No one wants to go through a separation or divorce and getting “lawyered up” is unfortunate but necessary. I was recommended Betsy when I consulted an another attorney who was way out of my price range and was told she was a great attorney. Betsy has a lawyer’s brain and knows her field and will figh...t for you! Going through a custody hearing is complicated, stressful and takes an emotional toll, but Betsy put me at ease with her knowledge and expertise by taking the time to calmly explain the process. She is straightforward and tells it like it is but she is also caring and empathetic and looking out for you and your family’s needs. Time and money well spent in my opinion. I would highly recommend Betsy as an attorney to anyone seeking her services! She knows what she’s doing!

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!

She is like family! ...Plus she knows what she's doing ;)

Betsy represented us when almost no other attorney would in an Order of Protection case. It was a very difficult, time-consuming and we ended up asking also for Petition to Relocate. You see, even though this is Betsy's job...she's not in it just for the money. During the whole process, our special n...eeds son passed away. She was extremely intuitive and accommodating, and though I've heard her say time and time again.."As a lawyer you should not get attached", she can't help but be what you need at the moment. She provides that human element in an industry that is all about facts (Justice is blind, right?). I highly recommend Betsy...she fights for you like I haven't seen yet in the courts, she's smart (obviously) and she gets results! Not all cases are typical right? But if she won us our OP and Petition to Relocate, she can most definitely help you.

Hired Attorney

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!

  • 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.
