March 24, 2024 11:00 PM

Since its inception, Bentley & More LLP has earned a sterling reputation for prominent trial lawyers dedicated to justice, with a track record of results repeatedly recognized by peers and publications across the legal industry, including Best Lawyers® since 2016. Headlined by its founding partners, the firm excels in the areas of workers’ compensation, personal injury and insurance law. Keith More's exceptional expertise in Workers' Compensation Law - Claimants earned him the title of "Lawyer of the Year" from Best Lawyers in both 2022 and 2024 in Orange County, solidifying his standing as a top-tier advocate for injured workers and a lawyer who routinely handles some of the most catastrophic workers’ compensation matters in California. Similarly, Greg Bentley achieved yet another milestone in 2023 when he was honored as the "Lawyer of the Year" for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs in Orange County while also being acknowledged for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs, as well as Insurance Law, in The Best Lawyers in America® awards. Bentley & More LLP is honored by the recognitions and will continue to work tirelessly on its clients’ behalf.

Bentley & More LLP has established itself as a beacon of hope for injured workers navigating the complex landscape of workers' compensation claims, particularly when facing powerful insurance companies and bureaucratic hurdles. The firm stands as a formidable ally, guiding clients through every step of the process with compassion and diligence. From initial consultations to representing clients in hearings and negotiations, the firm's attorneys work tirelessly to ensure that injured workers' rights are upheld and that they receive the necessary medical treatment and financial support to aid in their recovery.

With a unique blend of expertise in trial advocacy and workers’ compensation, the firm excels in identifying and pursuing complex crossover litigation against employers and third parties responsible for harm. In addition, the firm's dedication to client care is evident in its approach to storytelling and advocacy. By deeply understanding each client's situation, they aim to provide not only legal representation but also emotional support throughout what can be challenging periods in clients’ lives. Bentley & More LLP understands that injuries sustained in the workplace can have far-reaching consequences, impacting not only the physical well-being of the injured worker but also their financial stability and quality of life. As such, the firm goes above and beyond to provide holistic support to its clients, connecting them with resources and services aimed at facilitating their rehabilitation and eventual return to work, if possible. This client-centric approach extends well beyond case resolution, fostering lasting relationships built on trust and support.

Bentley & More LLP also recognizes the importance of proactive advocacy in preventing workplace injuries and promoting safer working environments. Through participation in industry seminars, advocacy campaigns and legislative initiatives, the firm actively contributes to efforts aimed at strengthening workplace safety standards and protecting the rights of workers across various industries.

With a steadfast commitment to advocacy, compassion and community engagement, Bentley & More LLP, led by its founding partners, continues to be a trusted ally for those navigating the complexities of workers' compensation claims, ensuring that their voices are heard and their rights are protected every step of the way. Their commitment to service, community and the rights of workers reflects their broader ethos of making a positive impact well beyond the courtroom.

Bentley & More LLP has developed a particular emphasis on litigating the most egregious and harmful examples of workplace injury, including not only those that are catastrophic in nature but also those that are the result of the serious and willful misconduct of the employer. Time and again, the firm’s workers’ compensation department, led by Mr. More, has achieved justice on behalf of injured workers across the state, leading to a record number of verdicts, settlements and other recognitions and accolades. Beyond workers’ compensation, Bentley & More LLP’s civil litigation department, led by Mr. Bentley, has sought compensation and found success across wide-ranging practice areas, including catastrophic personal injury, government entity liability, product liability, premises liability and insurance bad faith, leading to hundreds of millions of dollars recovered by the firm on behalf of its many deserving clients.
