History
Established in 1997.
Betz + Blevins was established in 1997 on the passion of a few attorneys who felt called to help individuals preserve their rights in the face of companies, boards, and government entities that would infringe upon them. Their more than 50 years of collective experience provides the foundation of Betz + Blevins. Today, they serve clients with the rare combination of resources, care, and agility that only a boutique firm can.
The firm focuses on advocating for individuals, specifically in the area of employment law. This leads us to work with clients in a variety of areas. We have represented individuals in cases ranging from wrongful termination, to wage and hour disputes, employment discrimination (such as age and race, as well as sexual harassment), employment contracts, whistleblower litigation, covenants not to compete, and employment and severance agreements.
