Great!

Scott walked us through the bankruptcy process and made everything clear and understandable.

Mr. Bentley is a wonderful attorney.

Due to medical bills and other problems we found ourselves in serious and extremely stressful circumstances. We sought out McHenry County Credit Counselors and after working with them we went to Mr. Bentley. I'm glad we did as he was very patient, calm, and understanding. He thoroughly went over all ...our information and what our options were as well as his exact costs and process. Let me add that one of the things that drew me to him in my research was how wonderfully family friendly his office is, from a popcorn machine to candy, and in a quiet part of the office building. As we went through the process, filled out the papers, attended the meeting, he was with us every step of the way and explained everything in easy and clear language. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Oh, and his assistant Suzanne is just wonderful as well for handling all the questions and papers we passed through her.

Superb Professional, Highly Recommended !!

I highly regard Scott. He doesn't shy away from explaining anything related to your issue. I have met lot of legal professionals those who don't want to give details. He accommodated my appointment within a short span of hours. I cannot thank him much for the information that he shared with me for ...us to buy a house. Suzanne is very courteous and professional as well. I wish you all the best!!

Scott's a great attorney!

Scott Bentley is a great attorney and assisted us step by step. We were very unfamiliar with the situation we were in, but Scott was very thorough from start to finish, and made sure we knew what was going on and that we were comfortable. Will always go back to Scott for future legal needs and refer ...anyone we know to him exclusively!
