Enforcement case 10/9/20/ judge presiding Hon. Kate

She is like a angel fallen from the sky, one more time she performed very well in court. I trust her and believe in her. Truly an amazingly profesional women that has chosen the correct profession. I have a hard time with my ex partner in regards of following court order and Bethel with her services ...has filed an enforcement case against my ex she, protect my rights. Her strong litigation skills prevent the judge to belived false allegations the oppositing defense was making to make their arguments be arcertives. She is a very bussy attorney but if you have patients she will fight for you well.Thanks Bethel for you amazing work in court today, one more time you show your pasion for protective miniority family.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Bethel is an excellent attorney. When we had lengthy contested matter, she was well versed in the law and skilled in productive cross examination. I would recommend her as she is excellent advocate. Despite the fact she was zealous advocate in trial she was reasonable in her approach to try and settle matters outside of trial in an attempt to avoid costly litigation for her client."
