also known as Betty Smith
Born and raised in Austin, I spent ten years in New Orleans where I graduated with a dual Bachelors in Legal Studies and Marketing from Tulane University's A.B. Freeman School of Business in 2008. Thereafter I attended Loyola University New Orleans College of Law and graduated with a Juris Doctor in 2012. Over the next four years, I dabbled in toxic tort and environmental litigation, personal injury, and criminal defense before returning to Texas in 2016 and establishing myself as an administrative/healthcare lawyer with the Leichter Law Firm. I truly believe in the work that we do. I worked hard for my state licenses, and I work hard to protect those of my clients. Because your license is more than just a piece of paper; it is your livelihood. And your livelihood is worth defending.

Following back up with me after a year set off due to me trying to do it myself, is why I chose her over anyone else. Very knowledgeable, no question to big nor small. When I felt like throwing in the towel, the ...

I cannot speak highly enough about my Betty Smith. She represented me as my attorney and always took my calls, responding promptly to my e-mails and all correspondence.
