“I needed an attorney to advise me with custody issues that had arisen. Beth Serrill offered to meet immediately. She had extremely insightful advice, took action immediately, and our issue was resolved within the month. Blethen Berens has a great reputation of excellence for a reason – they are top notch.”

Family Law Client

Beth Serrill joined the firm in August, 2005, and focuses her practice in the areas of Employment Law and Family Law.  She represents companies in all areas of employment law including unemployment, discrimination and general liability issues.  Beth works closely with human resource professionals to create policies and anticipate and handle employee issues and employment law litigation.   She also helps educate managers and staff about employment law issues through presentations and written materials.  Beth also handles complex business litigation as well as appeals.

In Beth’s family law practice, she works with families in times of transition to solve problems and create plans to help facilitate communication and decision-making in the future.  While her practice includes motions and trials before the court, she works hard with her clients and other professionals in the community and beyond to create an environment where parents can work together to craft their family plan for the future.  Her family law practice includes divorces with and without children, custody and parenting time, child support, maintenance, and third-party custody cases.
