Dean Betts has a very contagious calming and patient manner. I would also like to thank his assistant, Sandy. She always had time and worked with me graciously.

I hired Mr Betts to represent me in a custody case even though his fees were more than double what I was quoted by other attorneys, I hoped his difference in pricing reflected his dedication and determination to work hard for my case..to say I was let down by Mr Betts is an understatement, after paying Mr Betts well over $3,000 I was worse off than before I hired him.. everything I asked from him was met with his response that we have to wait, or we have to do it another way..this is if I was lucky enough to have Mr Betts speak to me instead of his arrogant assistant Sandy, two weeks before my court date I found out Mr Betts filed a motion and withdrew from my case, when I got the copy of the motion I repeatedly tried to contact Mr Betts but could not reach him until after the judge granted his motion.. Mr Betts withdrew from my case due to my not having enough money in my account, not sure how this is possible in any way, after paying over $3000 it doesn't seem possible for my account to run out of money when Mr Betts refused to file anything I asked to have filed, and made no court appearances on my behalf..all of my money was spent in my opinion on dodging doing any actual legal work. I was billed got Mr Betts to read my old custody order , which can be read in its entirety in under 10 minutes, even if you were to read every word of it which an attorney wouldn't have to since a lot of it is included in custody orders , I was bill hundreds and hundreds of dollars for Mr Betts to talk to his secretary/paralegal, hundreds for his paralegal to call and leave me a message to call and make an appointment,and other 1-2 minute phone calls...the last time I spoke with Mr Betts we agreed we should freeze my account pending the outcome of my ex's criminal case, so that the money in my account wouldn't be wasted ! at that time there was plenty of money in my account , then the next thing I knew was Mr Betts was withdrawing from my case which I was charged for and my account had enough money in it to pay the several hundred dollars to draft and file the motion to withdraw for lack of money ...this is far from what should be expected from an attorney you hire to help get a 10 year old child out of an unsafe environment.the misuse of funds and blatant disregard for my child's safety by Mr Betts and his secretary /paralegal is unethical. This is type of representation should not be allowed, especially when it is concerning a child's safety... at my consultation with Mr Betts assured me everything would be ok , my daughter would be home safe, my ex would have to reimburse my legal fees .everything being ok is the opposite of what Mr Betts has done to my case...I pray no one else has their child's safety jeopardized by this type of misconduct...
