Hands down, best lawyer to represent you

This guy will fight to get you what you deserve for your case and more. It was a pleasure working with him. He always answered phone calls and emails. Every worry I had, he was there to calm me down and inform me of everything. He breaks everything down in a way you can understand. He is on your side... 100%. Never makes you feel like you are lying about your pains or worrys. He represented me for a vape explosion and was able to get me a settlement I never thought was possible to receive. My leg had 2 burns from the vape explosion that left me with scars that i would see for the rest of my life. I was scared of loud noises due to the vape explosion. My life changed and i developed anxiety. With the help of Whit Bertch I was able to move forward in my life and continue healing. This was back in 2018 and I feel like I owe it to this guy and his team because now I feel like ive learned to live with the scars and the anxiety from loud noises doesnt affect me anymore. Im glad i got to work with him and if you get the chance to work with him. you will be in good hands. I promise you! I got 10x more money than I expected.

Hit by drunk driver & The Bertch Firm came to the rescue.

From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure working with The Bertch Firm. My fiance & I were struck by a drunk driving on the 133 S in Irvine on 10/31/21. We were very thankful that nobody lost their lives that night. That said, we didn't know what to do, neither of us had been in a car accident... before and we needed a professional we could trust to help us through this confusing & stressful time. The Bertch Firm was referred to us by a work colleague and from the start of the case to the finish Whit's professionalism & perseverance shone bright. No matter the day or time Whit was available to assist us via in person meeting, call or text. My fiance and I were very pleased with the result of the case & we would recommend The Bertch Firm to anyone going through the trouble of a personal injury case.

Fantastic experience

Mr. Bertch represented me after I was in a bad car accident and suffered injuries to my neck and back. Mr. Bertch's expertise and services were invaluable throughout the process of dealing with the defendant, his insurance company and my own insurance company. Without Mr. Bertch I cannot imagine havi...ng gone through this long process on my own or received the compensation I ended up obtaining due to the gross negligence of the defendant in my accident. I cannot thank Mr. Bertch enough for his assistance throughout this endeavor; his professionalism, constant follow-up and attention to even the smallest details were some of the best I have ever experienced. Thank you Mr. Bertch, you are a credit to your profession and I wish you well in your undoubtedly bright future as an attorney.

Professional, Compassionate, Tough

Bentley & More took over the litigation aspect of my husband’s motor vehicle collision case when Mercury Insurance declined to settle this clear liability case. My husband was declared permanently and totally disabled and unable to return to his construction job, yet the insurer failed and refused, ...for more than three years, to make any sort of reasonable settlement offer. The matter was finally set for trial in August 2021, Mr. Bertch finally negotiated a policy limits settlement and my husband and I are relieved and grateful for his skills and tenacity. I cannot say enough about his handling of my husband’s case. Mr. Bertch kept in communication with us each step of the way, explaining clearly and concisely the status of our claim and setting forth “what-if” scenarios so we had no surprises. Highly recommend Mr, Bertch and Bentley & More for resolution of personal injuty claims!

Excellent Lawyer

Whit represented me due to an atv accident. My injuries were serious and consisted of a major head concussion, a ruptured ear drum, extremely miserable migraines along with numerous visits to the doctors and chiropractor. It was my first time hiring a personal injury attorney and I was really skepti...cal about the process. I was referred to Whit by a very close friend of mine and I can not be more thankful of the outcome. Throughout the case, Whit did an excellent job at updates and explaining the legal process. Most importantly was the client/lawyer communication, my expectations were exceeded. Whit secured a settlement for me that was more than 2 times the insurance company’s initial offer. I would highly recommend Whit to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.
