The Bettersworth Law Firm
As litigation attorneys, our skill set helps clients not only with family law issues and business situations but in personal injury cases as well. Generations ago, divorce and other family law issues were quietly swept under the rug and there were few, if any, legal tools available to assist those dealing with.

We employ proven methods to ensure maximum compensation for lost wages, medical bills, property damage, economic and non economic losses. Using strategy and aggressive representation throughout your case, we will work hard to secure the best possible verdict or settlement for you. When injuries from someone's negligence occur, insurance companies seek to minimize the compensation paid in claims to injury victims.
Services
In many areas, particularly some personal injury cases, the laws and procedures are unfavorable to plaintiffs. As a result, the big insurance companies are more determined than ever to deny fair compensation to victims. In this environment, it is critical to partner with experienced attorneys who know how to uncover all the relevant facts, then research and apply the applicable law.
Attorney James S. Bettersworth was raised in Texas. He received his undergraduate degree from Texas Lutheran University. He later went on to obtain his Juris Doctorate from St. Mary's Law School in 1997, a feat he was able to accomplish in just two-and-a-half years. Since then, he has successfully represented clients in legal matters that pertain to a very wide range of laws.
Texas Lawyers Representing Clients in Personal Injury, Family Law, Divorce, and Business and Consumer Litigation Matters. At The Bettersworth Law Firm, we offer skilled and proven representation in a variety of legal matters, including personal injury, family law, and business and consumer litigation.
Scores of South Central Texans are injured or killed every day, through no fault of their own. Many of these incidents take place on area streets and highways, and negligent third parties must be identified and held legally responsible. Dangerous property conditions, such as unsafe floors and inadequate security, injure many others.
Every day, people are injured or killed in car crashes. In 2008, there were over 30,000 fatalities nationwide in either passenger car or light truck crashes. Although car crashes are often referred to as car "accidents, " a crash is usually the result of a driver's carelessness. The legal term for carelessness is "negligence."

I worked with Emily and Jessie and had a great experience. They were personable and always easy to get ahold of any time I had questions. I highly recommend the Bettersworth Law Firm. I would've been lost without their help!

I was referred by a friend to James after a terrible accident. James and his staff made the process a breeze and explained everything in detail. James did a great job getting me what I deserved. This law firm will be my go-to for years to come.

The Bettersworth Law firm is very fair and transparent in all aspects. James and Jackie are wonderful people to work with. Everyone in the company is very kind, professional, and understanding. They did a great job explaining details, and preparing me for the issues of an unwanted divorce. Especially policies and procedure by law and saved me money in ways I was not aware of. And, their fees are fair and reasonable. They worked hard to protect me and made me feel comfortable through a difficult time. I give them five stars and pleased to recommend their services.

The Bettersworth Law Firm did an outstanding job with my case. I always felt like a priority to them and I never went more than 24 hours without a response back to my questions. They are a great team to work with and I would recommend them to anyone needing to hire an attorney for Family Law, Personal Injury, or Civil Litigation cases.
