We cannot say enough good things about Betsy Tanner Law. Betsy is kind, easy to work with, and an incredible problem solver. From day one, she made us feel heard, supported, and confident that we were in the right hands. My wife and I had a complicated out-of-state case, and Betsy walked us through every single step. She took the time to explain everything clearly so we could truly understand what was happening and feel at peace with each decision. To say she went above and beyond would be an understatement. Betsy is a true go-getter who fights for her clients and refuses to quit. At the same time, she has a calm, steady presence that helps you breathe easier during stressful moments. When it comes to adoption, there is simply no one better. We are beyond grateful for Betsy and the care she showed our family.

Our family has had the pleasure of using Betsy for 2 adoptions. We also had the opportunity to use Betsy's expertise for 2 different probate cases. Betsy and her staff are the utmost professional as well as knowledgeable on adoption and probate law and the mult-layered aspects of each. Highly recommended.

Ms. Tanner and her team did an outstanding job for us! We are grateful to have had both her help and her guidance through the adoption process.

Claire L.

Betsy and her team have assisted us with a few different situations, and have always been clear about the processes, honest about timelines, and fair in their requests. I have never felt out of the loop when Betsy was on my side. Whenever anyone I know is in need of adoption assistance or other family law issues, I always refer them to her.

Betsy tanner really made the adoption of our beautiful daughter a smooth as it could have went a big thank you to the law firm for their hard work and dedication to place our child into a loving home

Christine M.

We honestly couldn’t ask for a more caring , passionate and hardworking lawyer to represent us. The most important part for us was communication and this team exceeded that plus more. She definitely represents the passion she gives during her time with you. We are thankful for her and continue to be!

Tracy S.

I live in California, but my father lived in South Carolina for many years before his death. Betsy Tanner and her efficient, kind staff made it possible for me to tie up the loose ends of finishing his estate from a distance. She was really supportive and easy to work with at a time when I was struggling. Her fees were very reasonable. I highly recommend her.

Gordon R.

Betsy and her team are phenomenal! If you are adopting in the upstate don’t call anyone else, they are the best.

Sonya Y.

Ms Tanner represented us in a kind manner. She was very professional and assisted us in getting what we needed done. I would recommend her fully without any hesitation.

Chris R.

The entire staff and Betsy Tanner were very responsive to any of my questions and explained the entire probate process in great detail and making a complicated process very understandable. The staff was very proactive during the process and made sure that I understood my responsibilities and the firms responsibilities for all of the milestones for the timelines. Overall our family had a great experience during a tough period in our lives and would highly recommend this firm.

M R.

Betsy was a Godsend! 5 stars is not enough! Highly recommend!

Mary G.

Betsy handled my parents’ estates with skill, patience, and remarkable professionalism. The situation was unusually complicated due to problems with a prior attorney, and I was managing everything remotely from California while juggling a very full schedule. Betsy was steady, creative, and solutions-oriented throughout the entire process. She helped navigate every obstacle and ultimately brought both estates to a successful close. What impressed me most was her integrity. I fully expected additional billing given the complexity and extra work involved, but instead she sent me a small refund from my retainer. That level of fairness and transparency is rare. Betsy was also consistently kind and a pleasure to work with during a difficult time. I recommend her without hesitation.

Samuel B.

Betsy was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout our adoption process, easy to talk to and communicate with, pleasant to work with. Extremely please and will use again if ever needed. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of her services.

Margaret R.

Betsy helped me so much navigating my Mom’s estate . She make sure all the i’s were dotted and t’s crossed. I had tried to do it myself and made a mess of things. I definitely recommend getting legal help ASAP when settling an estate and Betsy Tanner is an exceptional and compassionate professional .

Adopting our two daughters after almost two years of fostering was one of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and we could not have done it without Betsy. From the beginning, our biggest concern was making sure everything was done correctly. The paperwork, the process, the legal side of DSS adoption can feel overwhelming. Betsy made sure every detail was handled the right way. I never felt like we were guessing or hoping things were in order. She walked us through each step thoroughly. On a personal level, she was incredibly patient. I even worried about how she was getting paid through the process. She reassured me more than once that everything was handled and that we should focus on our family. That kind of calm confidence meant a lot during a season that already carried enough stress. Communication was excellent. Every question I had was answered. Every concern was explained. I always felt informed and prepared. She made us feel valued and respected, not like just another file on her desk. The day the adoption was finalized, the weight lifted off our shoulders. No more DSS involvement. No more caseworkers. No more home visits. For the first time in their lives, our girls get to live something close to normal. DSS had been part of their world for more than half their lives. Finalization meant security and permanence. Betsy brings joy into any room she walks into. When she is there, you know things are handled. You know everything is going to be okay. If you are walking into a DSS adoption and feeling overwhelmed, I can say with full confidence that you want Betsy Tanner in your corner.

Betsy Tanner Law was most professional, helpful, and - perhaps above all else - exceedingly kind to work with. She assisted my mother in dealing with the probate process after my father's death.

10/10 recommend Betsy Tanner Law! Her and the team was great at helping me navigate an adoption. They kept in touch the entire time and were very informative!

Thomas H.

Just over three years ago, I lost my twin brother in a car accident. It was sudden and unexpected, and I stepped in to help his two children through the Probate process. The best decision I made during that time was to partner with Betsy and her team. Everyone was so thoughtful and compassionate s we were adjusting and learning what we were supposed to do to transfer his estate to his children. Betsy did all the heavy lifting behind the scenes; I simply passed paperwork that I was receiving to her team - it couldn't have been easier! She always made sure that I understood what was happening and the "why" behind it. Thank you Betsy and team!

Wendy H.

Betsy Tanner has graciously served as our attorney for three adoptions, first two in 2019 and the third in 2022. The office staff is very informative and caring. Betsy Tanner Law has still kept in contact with our family over the years. We have received numerous Christmas cards and invites to the office for celebrations.

Ali B.

As foster parents, we are fierce advocates for our children, so when DSS was about to make a grave mistake, we met with Betsy Tanner. Betsy was honest with us, gave us solid advice, and walked us through a very messy Private Action. Days before court, Betsy and her staff pulled criminal reports. Everything we suspected and feared had already been confirmed by the police, yet DSS hadn't pulled a recent report. Betsy Tanner is grace under fire in the courtroom. She is prepared, precise, calculated, and thorough. In the end, the DSS Attorney, GAL Attorney, and both Public Defenders thanked us for hiring Betsy Tanner. Of course, the fact that we get to kiss our babies goodnight every night, knowing they are safe, is all the thanks we need. **As fierce advocates, we have advocated for reunification more than termination of parental rights!**

Michael W.

We are so grateful for Betsy and her team for all of their hard work in helping us adopt our two oldest children. They are passionate about serving families and I would recommend them to anyone for their adoption legal needs.

His S.

Betsy and her staff were great to work with! Very professional and compassionate. She was always prepared and gave us great advice to complete our adoption process. Thanks so much to the team!

Jennifer T.

I am so grateful that my friends referred me to Betsy Tanner Law. Our case was complex and came with several unexpected challenges, but Betsy handled everything with professionalism, confidence, and compassion from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and kept me informed every step of the way. Beyond her legal expertise, what truly set her apart was how much she genuinely cared, not only about my child’s well-being, but about mine as well. During a very stressful time, that meant more than I can express. I truly believe she is exactly where she is meant to be. Thanks to Betsy and her amazing team, we were awarded full custody through KinGap. I will always be thankful for their dedication and hard work. Thank you, Betsy and team — you are absolutely incredible!

Catherine M.

Betsy was so caring for throughout our entire process. While adoption can be stressful, at times, Betsy made the process seamless and was so reassuring whenever we needed questions answered. She made the entire process joyful! I would always recommend Betsy to anyone who needs help in this area.

Alison L.

Betsy Tanner Law is professional, honest, clear, and compassionate. Based on my experiences going through probate and conservatorship, I highly recommend her office for their legal services.

Crystal L.

Betsy was our attorney for 7…yes you got that right 7 different adoptions. Her knowledge, compassion, empathetic, and knowledgeable approach made each of our unique adoptions easy to navigate. She led with loyalty and honesty. Her desire to see families provide permanency in various different ways (foster care, private, step-parent) through adoption is by far a character quality brought forth by her dedication to and for adoption. Betsy and her team made the legal process seem easy and all the paperwork not so mundane. In a situation where emotions are high and tender hearts are involved the burden of all the different documentation was carried well by her team and presented to us in the least stressful way. We would highly recommend her and her team for any and all adoption related legal needs.

Linda L.

When my son passed away, I was executor of his estate. Because he lived in another county, I had no idea what to do. My daughter and I decided to consult Betsy Tanner, Probate Attorney. During the consultation, my financial advisor, joined us by phone. Betsy was very straight forward, explained everything in terms we could understand, patiently answered our numerous questions. Our financial planner said "hire her, she knows her stuff". So we did. Best decision I ever made. She and her wonderful staff handled everything and guided me through all the legalities. I never had to go to the other county to handle anything with Probate. If you need a Probate Attorney, Estate Planner, or guidance through an Adoption, call Betsy Tanner Law. She is the best.

Sarah B.

Betsy Tanner and her dedicated team are the best! Professional, responsive, and informative services all the way. If you need guidance with a probate matter, Betsy is the woman you want to represent you. 10/10 recommend!

Amber L.

Betsy has been incredible in our adoption journey. She was there for us with legal advice and comfort when our case took some unexpected twists. She wisely counseled us through the whole process and represented us for our son’s adoption. She went above and beyond to care for our whole family during that time. Betsy also handled our estate planning. Her wisdom and efficiency made the process very smooth. We highly recommend Betsy Tanner!

What Adoption Clients Say

Every family's path to adoption looks different. What tends to stay the same is the moment they realize someone is genuinely in their corner. These reviews come from parents who finalized infant adoptions, stepparent adoptions, foster care adoptions, and more pulled directly from Google, exactly as they were written.

What Estate Planning Clients Say

Planning ahead is a quiet act of care for the people you love most. Clients who came in for a will or a trust often say the same thing afterward: they didn't realize how straightforward it could be, or how much better they'd feel once it was done.

What Probate Clients Say
