Betz is the Best!

Mr. Betz has always provided exceptional legal advice and direction. His professional diligence in helping his clients maintain their fiduciary responsibilities while still protecting their interests is why he is my attorney. I would recommend his services to anyone...except those that try to stick i...t to my business of course!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
