Beth A Bratton

I loved working with Beth while going through the process of revising a parenting plan. She guided me through the process with great professionalism and, also, with a human touch. She is a true professional who is able to help with the most complicated situations, and she is able to relate to the man...y difficult emotions that these types of processes can have on her clients. I would hire Beth again if a need should arise, and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Beth represented me during my divorce. She was highly recommended by a family member. She helped guide me through a very difficult time in my life. She was always professional and well prepared for my court appearances. She was willing to represent me in court outside of the county she usually appe...ared in. I will be forever grateful that she advocated for me and my son.

When I was informed by my ex that she wanted a divorce. I planned on handling things civilly with my ex but consulted with Beth to make sure I was handling the situation correctly. We met for an hour and she educated me on the process and the steps needed. My ex did not like where things where go...ing so actually reached out to Beth to hire her. Beth informed her that she couldn’t work with her due to already meeting with me. Beth reached out to me and informed me of what occurred. Shortly there after my ex informed me she wanted lawyers to handle it since I already had one. (Which wasn’t true) At that point, I hired Beth (now I had my lawyer) Beth advised me, (the father) on which county to file in and why along with what was reasonable and not reasonable to request. (Douglas or chelan county) She made sure I was prepared telling me which documents to get and what type of evidence was needed/ actually admissible in court. We went to court 4 times the first year, every time with very favorable outcomes. She is very kind soft spoken, and does an EXCELLENT job at letting the other person make a fool of themselves by letting them talk to much. Our very first trial my ex’s attorney was very offensive saying horrible untruthful things about me that made me look like a horrid father. Beth didn’t stoop to his level, she kept things profesional, presented the facts and my ex and her attorney appeared not credible. We were both asking for extremes, and it ended very favorable for myself. After one year of different issues coming and going we finally settled. A while later my ex and I didn’t agree on a few things and she filed paperwork that took us back to court. I re hired Beth ASAP, however, she was overbooked already. But she didn’t leave me hanging. She told me what I needed to do for me the paperwork and scheduled the consult a two months later. (Was only given 14 day notice for a response and had court in 28 days) I presented myself well prepared thanks to the information and supplies she gave me. Later on when she was available for hire I hired her again since the process was not over. We had 4 more court hearings and trials within the next year to which she defended me wonderfully, made sure I didn’t loose any of my rights, and even increased my decision making. (Was joint for all, now I have the final say in a few things) I had a very good experience with her. One of my close friends had an excellent trial with her as well. My ex wife’s friend also had really good outcome with her. I’ve only heard from friends one bad outcomes where she represented them, however, they believe the outcome for the person was just and it didn’t matter who represented them, it wasn’t going to end well. Beth and her team deserves 5 stars. They are great!

I initially hired Beth Bratton for a parenting plan modification and then again in response to a child support modification request from my daughters mother. As an out of town client Beth and her legal assistant Lacey were great to work with. Our primary communication was through email but with hav...ing so many questions about the process Beth made sure to schedule regular phone calls with me and was also available to take my phone calls regularly. Beth is not only professional but very realistic in what to expect with the process and what options are available. She gave me full control over how we should proceed by explaining what routes we could take and what those outcomes would likely be. I would highly recommend Beth for child custody and will continue to use her as my lawyer if needed in the future.
