Bettina E. Munson

My husband was referred to Bettina in the midst of a custody/relocation dispute. In the beginning, she appeared to be motivated to represent him and win this case, which we definitely would have won. However, due to his ex's brainwashing of their daughter, it was pointless to go to trial and waste ev...eryone's time and money, so my husband decided to let his daughter move, but set forth very specific regulations. Once Bettina found out he was consenting to the move, she totally gave up on him. She agreed to things with opposing counsel that she did not even consult with my husband, her client. When my husband got upset over how she just stopped caring, she told him to stop being petty and be more professional. She was letting him lose his daughter! She would tell him she would call him back and never did. She only cares about having wins under belt, and collecting money. She is entitled, disrespectful, and at times, tries to be more of a therapist than an attorney and actually represent her client's wishes. my poor husband is stuck between a rock and hard place with his own attorney not representing him and his wishes at all (yet taking a $10,000 retainer without issue in the beginning!) I do not recommend Bettina Munson at all if you are a father who is trying to figure out how to make your child and yourself happy. Run, don't walk, away from this woman because as much as she's a "pitbull"-- it's to her own clients, NOT to opposing counsel.

Did not work hard on my case. Would frequently be working on other cases while we were in the Courthouse, and then attempted to bill me, which I contested and was successful in overturning. Did not reference landmark decisions in her briefs, nor include penalties to ex regarding cohabitation in fin...al decree.
