About Bethel
Biography
I took an interest in criminal law during my involvement with the UT Arlington Innocence Project. This invaluable experience inspired me to change career paths and pursue a law degree. After law school, I was fortunate to obtain an associate position with an excellent criminal defense and family law firm in Arlington, Texas. Working for a small but high-volume firm provided me the opportunity to participate in seven jury trials as of August 2015. In the pursuit of becoming an excellent trial attorney, I attended the Summer 2014 Trial Lawyers College founded by Gerry Spence, recognized nationwide for his countless courtroom victories. I strive to provide a client-centered approach by investigating the facts of your case and providing knowledgeable representation to obtain the most favorable results for each client.

Replied last May 02, 2017We appreciate all comments and reviews and understand your concern. CPS cases can be emotionally draining and time consuming for the parent and families involved. All cases are different and there are various factors that determine the outcome of a case. For example, family support and stability , the parent's willingness to cooperate with the service plan, being truthful with the department, etc ... At the end of the day the children's best interest is most important. A parent's progress or lack of progress can make or break the outcome of their CPS case. At our office we strive to zealously advocate for all clients and unfortunately there are circumstances beyond our control that will affect the outcome of a CPS case (such as those mentioned above). We wish you the best of luck in the future.

Best attorney
This woman went to bat for me and truly fought her heart out. Regardless of how tedious and ridiculous it all got at certain times. I hope to never need a family law lawyer in the future, but in case I do. .I know where in going! Professional, diligent and everything you'd expect from an attorney!...
