Bethany J. Cross
I enjoy spending my free time at the playground, the ball field or in gymnasiums watching my children participating in and engaging in their various activities, whether individually or with teammates. It is important for me to be their number one supporter.
It is equally important for me to teach my children the value of teamwork, problem solving, and collaboration. These simple life lessons have helped shape my legal practice. The most basic life lessons can assist in the most complex legal transactions.
