Skilled and Compassionate Guidance Through a Difficult Divorce

My experience with Bethany Roberts during my high-conflict divorce was overwhelmingly positive. Her 22 years of experience, particularly her recognition in Family Law and Mediation by Best Lawyers, was evident from our first meeting. She expertly navigated complex issues involving our family business and child custody arrangements, always explaining the legal nuances in Lawrence, Kansas, without making me feel overwhelmed. What stood out was her genuine commitment to finding a resolution; she leveraged her mediation background to de-escalate tensions with my ex-spouse's counsel, which saved us considerable time and emotional energy. While her expertise justifies her rates, the overall cost did become a significant consideration as the process extended. Additionally, during particularly busy periods, there were a few instances where email responses took longer than expected. That said, her strategic advice was always worth the wait. I always felt I had a true advocate in my corner. For anyone in the Lawrence area facing family law matters, I would confidently recommend Bethany Roberts at Barber Emerson LC.
