Awesome Support under duress.

Attorney Blake Bentley proved to be well versed in the law regarding our claim in regards to a vehicle purchase that went south. He was able to clearly explain in terms we were able to understand the legal ramifications of our choices. We felt confident in his abilities to assist us as we navigated ...the process in the legal system. He was fair, clear, concise and able to give direction. We felt that he was honest in how he dealt with us and most importantly gave us the pros and cons of each decision and how it would affect us short term and long term. He was realistic, not making any promises but giving us possible outcomes. Highly recommend Blake if the need arises in any of your legal matters.

Attorney W. Bentley is a very polite lawyer. he is currently representing on my child support and children custody case. he explained how the law works, what i can expect out of him and the court. he shows up on time for every court date. he is easily reachable by phone or email. His cost is very re...asonable. i will recommend him to anybody.

Quality Representation

William Blake Bentley has helped me to probate two different estates. In one of the estate probates Blake provided guidance after much of the preliminary work had already been done. In this case he was willing to set a specific reasonable flat fee and advise me as to how to finish up the probate o...f the estate. In the second estate Blake was hired to do the entire probate of the estate from the beginning. He has done an excellent job in meeting the legal requirements necessary to set up the probate with the court. For this estate he has been hired at a reasonable hourly rate . Blake has been especially prompt to respond (most often within 24 hours) to any and all questions by the estate’s personal representative. His answers are complete and easy to understand. He is easy to work with and is willing to communicate using e-mails. He even accepts PayPal. I would highly recommend him to others.
