Welcome Bob to Betz & Port!

Betz & Port is proud to welcome Robert P. Christensen as Of Counsel, a seasoned trial lawyer, respected mentor, and trusted advocate whose influence has shaped generations of trial attorneys.

For decades, Bob has been a steady presence behind the scenes at Betz & Port. He practiced alongside Jim in the 1980s and 1990s and has remained a trusted guide ever since. More recently, Bob has served as a mentor to our team, including being present at a first trial, helping shape opening statements, refining witness preparation, and sharpening cross-examination strategy. His guidance has extended well beyond individual cases — helping our attorneys build cases for trial long before negotiations even begin.

Now, we’re honored to make that relationship official.
