Betsy F Walits JD

I retained Betsy again to handle my child support modification. The fact that this is only the second time I required her services was a huge relief. The first time, she made it so that my obligation was adjusted automatically upon termination of my child’s college attendance. I simply contacted t...he court house and notified them to make it happen. It was great to not have to go to court again that time. I required another modification two years later. I simply e-mailed Betsy and got a prompt response. She didn’t miss a beat. She was still very familiar with my case and got the ball rolling in a very timely manner. I still live out of state but that wasn’t a hinderance when dealing with her. If I had a question, I would e-mail. She would always respond that same day with accurate and clear information. If I had an urgent question or needed to talk to her, I called and was always able to speak directly with her. I truly appreciated her professionalism and dedication to her profession. I had another great outcome to my case and will definitely retain her services again in the future if needed. Her fees were very reasonable and there is not a single thing I could comment on in a negative way. Thank you Betsy for making a stressful situation as easy as possible. My wife and I greatly appreciate it!

We ended up firing her. Communications broke down almost immediately stopped returning calls and emails. Lost or would not read documents vital to case and had to resend multiple times. She would come up with a strategy and then abandon it without explanation then get mad at you for asking about it. ...She would wait till last minute to communicate during negotiations making the process rushed. Unprofessional, she actually answered the phone with “what do we have to talk about” not hello when the other attorney wanted information she emailed last minute and I had questions on. Her insults to my ex-wife were offensive to me, and I don’t have anything good to say about my ex! It was unreal. We were responsive and polite to her. I would say if you hire her proceed with caution. Family law is not her strong suit and like most lawyers know emotions run high with family law, she’s not built for it. Disorganized, lack of knowledge, rude, petulant, and lazy.

I retained Betsy for a child support modification case. I was stationed overseas at the time but she made it very easy for me to handle everything that needed to be done. Every time I submitted paperwork and had a question regarding the case there would be an email for me answering all questions. ...She made herself available to me by telephone since I was not able to be there in person. The professionalism in the way she handled herself and the legal advice provided allowed me to make some sensible decisions while protecting my rights at the same time. I really appreciated her time and effort put towards my case and would recommend her as an attorney to anyone seeking legal representation.

At first Betsy was a very kind and considerate person. I had a child custody, visitation, and child support case. She seemed to really know her stuff and took care of the matters that needed to be addressed but when it was time tp go to court she basically just sat back and did nothing. She never p...resented any of the evidence I had which was very important to my case and would have helped tremendously. She didn't stand up for me wt all and just took whatever the judge dished out. When I had issues with my daughter's father on him violating the court order repeatedly she never did anything to help he basically got away with all the violations that he did. Also after we went to court the child support issue was supposed to be dealt with, figured out, and I shouldve been getting my child support but I'm not and its been 3 months and every time I questioned her about it I was told it takes time. Ive filed for child support myself before and it NEVER took 3 months. Shes very lazy and never calls you back and also if betsy and her secretary know your # and know that your a persistent person and demand answers they won't even answer the phone. I had full trust and faith in her that she would help me and my case but nothing got resolved. If I would've known the type of person she is and how she operates I NEVER would've wasted a dime on her. Shes literally the worst attorney ive ever met. Unless you want to do all the leg work yourself DO NOT hire this woman!!

I have never met any other lawyer/ caring person like Betsy in my life when I came to her she was straight forward and did not sugar coat any thing I was a nervous wreak and waiting a 2 year in progress divorce that other lawyers just kept bleeding me dry of money and my soul I just wanted it to be o...ver. Betsy called me right back and got me in the same day flat rate and in 7 days got my life back she will always be my first choice when I am ever in need of help and I would respectful never forget her. If any one needs help please give her a call she will help you at any point in your life to stop the pain you feel in side. I was ready to just give up and God blessed me with this angel Betsy walits. Thank you for all you do and the stress you take from others and put there fight and stress in your hands. Much love..
