Grieving Sister

My brother was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle. He did not survive the accident. I contacted the Police Department to get information regarding what had happened. At first they kept passing my request from one person to the next. I finally reached the investigating officer and he would not... tell me anything other than my brother had been struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle. Out of frustration I contacted Bentley & More. Whit was able to secure a copy of the Police report and shared just enough information with me so that I could try to make sense of just what happened. I did not want a lot of details and Whit was very sensitive in regards to providing me enough knowledge so that I could begin to process what had happened to my beloved Brother. Whit was super great at explaining the legal process and when we came to a point where it looked as though it might drag out for a considerable amount of time my family decided not to go any further. Whit was able to get us a settlement much greater than we had expected. It's time to heal. Thank you Whit for listening to us and helping us through a very difficult time in our lives.

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!

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
