Our firm handles a small volume of cases, typically five to ten cases at a time, which enables us to devote as much time to each case as is necessary, and to develop close relationships with our clients. Our services are provided very efficiently and in a manner which is extremely cost-effective. We use the latest in technology. The model we use to deliver legal services centers on a core team of a lawyer and paralegal. The firm has longstanding relationships with a legal nurse consultant and an investigator, and we work with a large number of prominent experts in various fields, including medicine, drug labeling, product design, accident reconstruction, economics, security, as well as many other areas.

Mr. Bentley is personally involved as lead counsel in each case undertaken by the firm. When additional lawyers are needed to assist Mr. Bentley in a case, rather than employ associate attorneys, the firm regularly associates lawyers who have experience comparable to Mr. Bentley at no additional cost to the client. In most cases, these attorneys have successfully worked on cases with Mr. Bentley for approximately thirty years.

The firm handles moderate to large cases, mostly on a contingency fee basis. There is no charge for an initial consultation. The firm has a reputation for excellence in its negotiation skills and trial work, and has won several landmark appeals. Clients are given personal attention, their calls are returned promptly, and they are informed of case developments in a timely manner.

We are frequently contacted by attorneys who request copies of our work product in various areas to assist with pending cases.
