Estimated 5 minute read

 

Bette Epstein, Esq.

Bette Epstein, Esq. has been mediating trust and estate disputes since 2000. Following a remarkable career first as a licensed Psychotherapist and then as a trust and estate litigator for over 30 years, she turned her focus to alternative dispute resolution and brings her unique blend of legal expertise and psychological insight to every case she handles. Her clients often face situations fraught with grief, family conflict, and high stakes, but Bette’s calm, composed demeanor and profound understanding of the law make her an invaluable ally in the dispute resolution process, where she is available as a mediator, arbitrator, and discovery referee. As a neutral, she brings her unique emotional intelligence, sharp legal intellect, and psychotherapy background to highly emotional probate disputes, and is able to turn conflict into consensus in even the most challenging and complex issues.

"As far as I am concerned, she pulled a rabbit out of the hat. This mediation was 12.5 hours and she was firing on all cylinders the whole time. This was a messy probate/trust dispute between 3 children who have been fighting since the first time in a sandbox together. Ms. Epstein was extremely effective in communicating reason with each of them. The matter settled well within my expected range, and there was a good amount of fence mending along the way. I highly recommend her for probate/trust issues."
