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.

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!

I am greatful beyond measure to Mr. Bertch and law firm

I got injured, broke my hip a hip due to defective kitchen appliance that exploded while I was doing what I used to enjoy the most, cooking. After surgery I end up unable to work for 3 months, I dealt with constant pain, Physical therapy, long recovery. I am very fortunate to have found a very presti...gious law firm that represented me. Mr. Bertch since day 1 has shown professionalism, dedication and compassion, he handled my case in an extremely competent and professional manner, he always returned my calls on the same day even after office hours, his dedication and effort in my case was crucial to help me obtain a prompt and fair settlement. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone seeking an honest and bright lawyer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your excellent job!

Auto accident representation excellence!

I was involved in a serious accident involving (5) vehicles, of which I was the first impacted by a distracted driver not seeing traffic stopped at 50+ MPH. This caused multiple injuries to my back (Broken vertebre), arm and leg (Severly impacted and bruised), and foot (Broken toe). I was lucky enoug...h to survive, but also to have Whit Bertch assigned as my Attorney. Whit's professional and real-world approach to my case was on-point. He was there to help me, along side me, at every deposition, court meeting and medical review. He brought a vast knowledge of detailed cases and references up at the moment there was a question during questioning and was able to site statutes that allowed my case to move forward when it seemed we were at a stopping point. Whit is very personable, friendly and dedicated to serving clients like me, and I could not have received a better positive outcome without his help. I was amazed at the access to records, experts and the amount of work he did on my case, that I could have never done on my own!
