Grateful endorsement for Whit Bertch

Joseph Cavins <[email protected]> 4:28 PM (3 hours ago) to Whit Joseph Cavins 20372 E. Amapola Avenue\ Orange, California 92869 (949) 683-9185 Re: Whit Bertch To whom it may concern: Whit represented m during a series of legal actions after an electronic vaping device explode...d and caused serious personal injury. The injuries included complete loss of my left eye and necessitated surgical reconstruction of the left side of my face. This was the first time that I ever worked with a personal injury attorney, and I had always looked in disfavor on that. A trusted friend of mine is a lawyer, and he thinks very highly of Bentley and More and referred me to them. I am grateful that he did. The Bentley More team did an excellent job for me in making sure that all of my medical bills and medical needs were met, and won a generous compensation for me also. Whit Berch was an important part of that work and he communicated with me always in an effective and confidence building manner. I would recommend Whit to anyone in need of an excellent personal injury attorney. Sincerely, Joseph Cavins

Whit fights for you

My fiancé and I got into a bad car accident because another driver drove into us. From the beginning the other driver tried blaming the accident on us and this experience would have been an absolute nightmare if it wasn't for Whit. He protected us, fought for us, and made sure we were taken care of i...n terms of receiving the medical care we needed and receiving the funds that were rightfully due to us. He works hard for his clients and I recommend him highly.

Whit was an advocate for me throughout a horrible ordeal.

Two years ago I had a devastating accident at work and suffered extensive injuries. Right from the start Whit advocated for me to get the best care available and he continued to do so while I was going through a very lengthy recovery. My life will never be the same and I will never completely recover... but thanks to Whit I will get to live life to the fullest within my new physical limitations. I am truly grateful to Whit and Bentley and More for the excellent representation they provided on my behalf.

Beyond grateful for my attorney!

I was very nervous going into this process, as it was my first time dealing with an Attorney. I could not have been happier with Whit Bertch. He walked me through and helped me with every step of the process. His approachability made working along side him and prepping for my deposition and potential... trial, effortless. I could tell that Whit sincerely cared about the outcome of my case. He knew that my injury was of no fault of my own, and worked diligently to prove that. Whit was always available to take a phone call, or answer any questions I had along the way. The settlement I received because of Whit's hard work was much higher than I originally anticipated. The law firm of Bentley and Moore were behind me the whole way. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Whit Bertch is a huge asset to this law firm and I would not have chosen anyone else to represent me!
