Bethanie’s Story

Bethanie was facing an extremely contentious divorce, even though her marriage was relatively short. After meeting with another attorney who had dismissed her concerns, she turned to Dishon & Block. With extremely short notice, the team at Dishon & Block was able to quickly take control of Bethanie’s case, even making a hearing only days after being hired. Dishon & Block continued to represent Bethanie throughout her divorce, securing results that she believes she wouldn’t have won using any other law firm. This is Bethanie’s story in her own words.

“I walked out of Aaron’s office completely confident that I had found the right attorney and that I would be able to get through this.”

Can you tell me about your experience with Dishon & Block?

I knew that I was facing a particularly bad divorce, even though we had only been married a short time. I thought that I was going to hire a reputable attorney that one of my friends recommended, but when I met with that attorney, he dismissed a number of my claims. I couldn’t get anyone to return my phone calls. No one wanted to hear my story, which included my husband being verbal abusive and lying to me constantly about money. They just didn’t want to listen.

My brother-in-law recommended Aaron and Dishon & Block. I arranged a meeting with Aaron and knew instantly that he was different that my previous attorney. I was worried that I was going to end up bankrupt as a result of this divorce and Aaron convinced me that he could help and put me in a much better place.

What were the problems with the other attorney?

Simply put, they wouldn’t listen to me. It was if they really didn’t care about me as a client. They were unresponsive and I felt as though I wasn’t receiving proper representation.

After hiring Aaron, what did he do differently?

Aaron swooped in and handled a spousal support hearing just a week after meeting him for the first time. He was just amazing. From the beginning, Aaron was confident that the settlement offer my husband made was absolutely ridiculous. For example, I was being asked to pay half of the value of gifts that I had been given, including jewelry. My previous attorney had told me that there were good and bad points to the settlement. Having Aaron tell me that we were going to fight was just what I needed to hear.

What stood out to you about what Aaron did?

His confidence. He felt strongly that we could avoid trial, since it was such a short marriage and we didn’t really have any other assets. No one else had told me anything like this before. I walked out of Aaron’s office completely confident that I had found the right attorney and that I would be able to get through this.

“Having Aaron and Chandra in my corner makes me very confident.”

How did Dishon & Block make you feel at ease?

Aaron and Chandra have always been there for me throughout the entire process. They keep me informed about everything that is going on, via phone and email. I never feel as if I’m bothering them if I have a question. I always get a response immediately, either from them or a paralegal. I feel completely comfortable reaching out at any time, knowing that I’ll get the answers and help that I need as soon as possible. My husband has been extremely unreasonable throughout the process, and Aaron and Chandra have been very patient when listening to what has been going on. I know I can turn to them at any time.

What value did Dishon & Block offer not only you, but your family?

Because of how honest Aaron was, I went into the process with a much more realistic view of what I was going to get out of it. That helps me because it allows me to plan for the future. There are no surprises, which makes things go that much smoother.

If you needed to revisit any aspect of your judgment, would you use Dishon & Block again?

Definitely. Having Aaron and Chandra in my corner makes me very confident. I feel like I have smart attorneys on my side. I’m not scared to go to court for any reason, because I know that my attorneys are smarter than my husband’s.

Would you recommend Dishon & Block? What would you say to a friend when you gave him/her the firm’s information?

I tell everyone I know that is going through a divorce to call Dishon & Block. I’ve recommended the firm to a number of people already. They are here to help you and are uniquely skilled. There are no better attorneys.
