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 is wonderful
Bethany was an attentive and aggressive attorney and fought tooth and nail for me. I would definitely consider her for any and all legal issues from this point forward. She did a wonderful job and kept me informed of everything going on with the case. I Highly recommend her.

Divorce Attorney Review
I hired Bethany to handle my divorce in 2014. Her expertise, directness and honesty were evident from the first phone call. She is also a Christian which was important to me. She stood in the gap and fought for me when I needed someone to see truth when the other side was twisting things around. ...

She was very informative, kept me in the loop the whole time, and always made sure I knew what everything meant. She is fair with pricing. She is honest. She will fight for you which was important to me. We won our case too.
