True Professional with care!

Absolutely recommending attorney “Whitney Bertch Firm” to family, friends and anyone who needs a professional with integrity and clear, swift attention to details with consistency. My case was challenging at times and I’m so happy with the process and settlement!

Great attorney for a Happy Ending.

I have to say that Whit Bertch did an excellent job representing me and I felt very comfortable that Whit was in my corner when I needed him and it was through his ability as a very skilled attorney that we arrived with a reasonable settlement. Would I recommend Whit to other people ? Absolutely YES... !! On top of every thing else he is a good man and a man of his word.

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!

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!
