"I enjoy helping individuals, families and business owners to plan and enjoy a future they want, to resolve whatever problems may be standing in their way, whether it is explaining the estate planning options available to a couple or individual, or a business owner who wants to pass along the business to the next generation as smoothly as possible."
Since 1981 Betty has concentrated her practice in the areas of estate planning (wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, premarital agreements), business planning (initial organization, shareholder agreements, family limited liability companies, etc.), elder law (legal aspects of aging including Medicaid long term care benefits, guardianships, etc.) and probate. Betty was born and raised in Oklahoma City. She graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Arts in Russian Studies in 1973 and Juris Doctorate in 1980.  She was a member of the Board of Editors of the Oklahoma Law Review in 1979-80.
