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.

Incredible! So grateful!

Whit Bertch was an incredible attorney. He went above and beyond the call of duty. He was incredibly responsive and very easy to work with. The outcome of my case went significantly better than I could’ve ever hoped for. I owe the success of the case to Mr. Bertch. I would without a doubt recommend ...him to any friends or family member. Overall great experience… Extremely happy with the result and service.

Great attorney

I contacted Bentley & More LLP after I was involved in a hit and run. Whit had previously represented her sister in her case and did an amazing job so I knew he would handle my case professonally. He always communicated in a timely manner and kept me in the loop with any important updates. He ultimat...ely ended up settling my case for a higher amount than expected.

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!

A fighting voice for my special needs son

I highly recommend Whit Berch. Whit is an amazing attorney and I definitely would recommend him to my family and friends. Perhaps one of the many things that impressed me most about our attorney Whit Berch was that he allowed me to express myself about this case when needed. I never felt rushed o...ff the phone and my concerns were always heard. I felt like Whit treated us like people and not just another case. This was a personal injury case for my special needs child. This was extremely difficult and painful at times as his mother. Whit is a great lawyer, easy to work with, highly efficient and I felt was helpful with all my questions. He showed a high level of professionalism while treating my son case with the upmost respect. I felt confident and comfortable allowing Whit to represent us. Whit would respond within 24 hours and kept our family updated on the progress of case. I never felt like I didn’t know where we were at with the case. I feel like he was looking out for my son’s best interest and he earned my respect and trust. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. I truly felt like my son’s was in great hands. Thank you so much for everything. The wonderful settlement we received will help take care of my special needs son for years to come. I’m truly grateful for all that Whit did to help be the voice for my special needs son.
