Amazing Lawyer

Ms Betty is without doubt the best juvenile attorney you can find. She is very knowledgeable, caring, and competent lawyer in the field. She helped us through a hard situation with our son. She kept us informed all the time, and got the best possible deal for our son. Simply put the best of the best.... Thanks Betty.

AWESOME

We were very blessed to have Betty represent us. She led my son and I through a very difficult time. She is very knowledgeable, caring, sweet, compassionate, encouraging, and motivating. Its quite obvious that she truly cares for her clients and gives her all in what she does. She is very patient and... attentive to every question/concern. She is awesome and I have never had anyone represent us the way she did. She is GREAT!!

Great support and extensive knowledge

My experience was wonderful with Betty! She was knowledgeable, dependable and supportive through a very rough time in our family life. She listened to my concerns and addressed them in a timely manner. She was patient and kind to my son who can be difficult to handle sometimes. I couldn't of asked fo...r a better lawyer.

An appreciative mother - a changed child

She showed great compassion for the struggles of a family dealing with the criminal cahrges against their child. Weighed the interests of the child and family to seek the best options for the child. Great advocate in working with the State to to ensure the outcome, percieved by me as horrible at th...e time, best aided my child in getting appropriate services. Her efforts resulted in my son obtaining his GED, a trade, preparation for a college and the self-confidence that he can suceed in any path he takes. She worked tirelessly with a crazed mother who was beside herself in dealing with the grief of her child's situation. Not only did she show an immense professionalism in the court, she was human and compassionate in dealing with my emotions. I am so grateful that she crossed my childs path and impacted the direction in which he was headed.

A Rare Gem

I was truly fortunate to have Ms Rodriguez as a court appointed attorney for my son. Being in an uncomfortable situation Ms Rodriguez led us through the entire process with her gentle nature, calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge. She stayed in close contact with us, patiently explaining our option...s and interpreting the "legalese" ensuring that everything was crystal clear. I have had dealings with attorneys in the past whom i have retained and paid large sums of money for representation. There is no comparison. Ms Rodriguez has restored my faith that there are truly some attorneys out there who really do care. I will definitely retain her services should we need her in the future, and am completely confident recommending her to anyone in need of legal services in her area of expertise
