Best in the industry!

By far the best attorney out there in Orange County. My specific case was a bit complicated, therefore a lot of attorneys turned me down. Whit on the other hand took my case without any issues and was very helpful from the beginning in assuring that I will get a settlement from my Insurance Company w...ho turned down my claim. Whit went above and beyond keeping me updated from start to finish. Recently we settled my case for more than I expected and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience. I’m not one to write reviews, but I was very impressed with the results that I had to this time around. Definitely recommend Whit Bertch to anyone out there, he negotiated to get a much higher settlement than I was expecting.

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.

Hit by drunk driver & The Bertch Firm came to the rescue.

From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure working with The Bertch Firm. My fiance & I were struck by a drunk driving on the 133 S in Irvine on 10/31/21. We were very thankful that nobody lost their lives that night. That said, we didn't know what to do, neither of us had been in a car accident... before and we needed a professional we could trust to help us through this confusing & stressful time. The Bertch Firm was referred to us by a work colleague and from the start of the case to the finish Whit's professionalism & perseverance shone bright. No matter the day or time Whit was available to assist us via in person meeting, call or text. My fiance and I were very pleased with the result of the case & we would recommend The Bertch Firm to anyone going through the trouble of a personal injury case.

Fantastic experience

Mr. Bertch represented me after I was in a bad car accident and suffered injuries to my neck and back. Mr. Bertch's expertise and services were invaluable throughout the process of dealing with the defendant, his insurance company and my own insurance company. Without Mr. Bertch I cannot imagine havi...ng gone through this long process on my own or received the compensation I ended up obtaining due to the gross negligence of the defendant in my accident. I cannot thank Mr. Bertch enough for his assistance throughout this endeavor; his professionalism, constant follow-up and attention to even the smallest details were some of the best I have ever experienced. Thank you Mr. Bertch, you are a credit to your profession and I wish you well in your undoubtedly bright future as an attorney.
