Wrongfully Accused

I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. Jacklyn was very responsive and diligent in all matters concerning my case. She was extremely knowledgeable and effective in battling with the local authorities. She was comforting but direct. Everyone deserves a lawyer like this on their side.

Jacklyn Bentley lawyer in San Jose

My case involves minor white collar crime. During my legal case in 2012 to 2013 there was total of 3 times Jacklyn DID NOT even show up for my court dates. NO GOOD. Judge kept on rescheduling court hearing because of her no show. I paid her a total of $7000.00 I could have used that money pay c...ourt fines and fees instead of paying Jacklyn Bentley. I would have been better off going to Public Defender help my case. ITS FREE... I was going to report what happen to Bar Association in Sacramento. But my wife convinced me not to report this incident. I DO NOT RECOMMEND JACKYLN BENTLEY.

Awesome Attorney

I hired Ms Bentley in December 2015 and I'm so glad I did! She was an awesome attorney! I was looking for an attorney who knew her legal stuff as well as an attorney who was compassionate and sensitive. Ms Bentley has both qualities. I was being wrongfully accused of something legally I did not do. ...In May 2017 I was cleared of everything and the case was dropped. Ms Bentley is a kind and sensitive attorney. She is as down to earth as it gets. She knows her stuff! She is upfront and honest and does not sugar coat anything. She returned all my calls and I was not charged a consultation fee. Her rates are good and her office was beautiful. I would recommend her to my friends and family should they ever need legal representation in the future. Thank you Ms Bentley for being my guardian angel
