About Bethany
Biography
I chose law school because I wanted to help people. I know that sounds cliche, but it is true. I come from a lower income family. Neither of my parents graduated from college. My father worked 2 jobs when I was a child just to keep a roof over our heads. So many times I watched my parents get screwed over because they couldn't afford lawyers when they really needed one. Because of that, I try to keep my retainer fee and hourly rates lower than many attorneys so that more people can afford representation. I doubt I'll ever get rich practicing law that way, but I do feel like I get to help people and that gives my life meaning.

Bethany Stephens
Bethany is extremely knowledgeable about the law. She is a very caring and compassionate lady. She at first refused to take my case because she didn't like these kinds of charges. But after consulting with me face to face and listening to me she relented. You can not find a better attorney. She's ver...
