Posted by Rodney | June 10, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Communicative and constructive; driven to close satisfactorily and quickly

Betsy rescued my divorce case that had been badly neglected by another firm. A case that had dragged on for over a year and was seemingly headed for court was settled satisfactorily within a month or so after Betsy took over. I have continued to take advantage of Betsy's attention to detail and con...structive energy for other smaller matters that have come up. Betsy has radically altered my expectations for how positive and communicative a lawyer can be.

Excellent

I enjoyed working with Betsy (as much as one can enjoy working with a Family Law Lawyer) and her Para-Legal Stephanie. Betsy did great work, and worked in my best interest and worked to accommodate my priorities in her work. Betsy is no longer with Morris Sockle however, and my only complaint with my... experience was the work that was done after Betsy left Morris Sockle (and the transition).

Amazing, thorough service. I recommend HIGHLY!

Ms Jackels provided excellent, knowledgeable information & support of the laws and my case concerning my divorce. Her and her paralegal, Stephanie we're ALWAYS responsive to answer any questions I had in a timely manner and assisted with facilitating the best and most confident services. She helped a...dvocate for my, my rights and my children's rights. She and Stephanie always acted in my best interest. She was flexible in regards to meeting me when I was able to with my busy schedule. I have recommneded her to others that are seeking divorce.

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.
