Jacklyn Ann Bentley

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.

I have used services of Jacklyn Ann Bentley for a traffic ticket case. I initially spoke to her secretary regarding my ticket and she recommended to have a consultation meeting with Jacklyn. I was able to secure a meeting with Jacklyn on the same day. I explained my situation and she quoted me a lump... sum for her services. She was also very confident that I could win the case and suggested 'technical faults' that could go in my favor. I thanked her for the input and said I will reach out if interested. The next day the secretary 'promptly' provided me the contract. I then signed the contract with the notion that Jacklyn was confident in my case, which gave me assurance of winning the case. Weeks have gone by without any communication. My court date was scheduled by the county. I have not heard anything from Jacklyn since I signed the contract. The next communication I ever heard/received was from the court house and stated that I was found guilty since no sufficient evidence was presented. I reached back out to Jacklyn to try to get some more details by phone but couldn't get through. I emailed her and still no response. She emails me back after 2 weeks and tells me that the judge and the officer was adamant that I offended the law. The 'technical faults' was never bought up in court and Jacklyn never pursued it - even though in our initial consultation she said she will bring it up. Although the outcome of the case was not in my favor, I was really disappointed in Jacklyn's professionalism and responsiveness. She promised a lot and did not deliver. In conclusion, she was very prompt in getting her fees and following up signing the contract; however seldom will reach out to you or follow up if you have any questions or after the case is complete. I would avoid the services of Jacklyn like the plague.
