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.

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

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!
