About
Thank you for looking at this site and we invite you to visit our website at www.bentley-law.com as well. Our firm does family and criminal law. We are 4 attorneys and three administration/paralegal staff who work hard to look out for our clients best interests. I try to meet with all the new clients and give a half hour free consult where I talk with you about your specific case matters and then discuss what I think your legal options are and what the time frame and costs might be. Every case is different, every client is different even though the issue, such as custody might be the same. I was a registered nurse early in my career. My last position was IV and oncology (cancer). It was a tough job but a privilege to care for the very sick. It was there I learned that everyone has a story and something to teach. I am a licensed pilot. Every opportunity I have I do public speaking and writing about lawyering, nursing, flying, and encouraging.

Within 30 minutes of meeting Victoria, I decided she would be the perfect representative to act on my behalf in a court of law. I arrived full of questions, despair, anxiety, anger, frustration and emotional pain. Victoria kept an empathetic ear while assimilating the legalities of the situation. She paid careful attention to what was most important to me and incorporated those needs into the scope of the case. She was very honest on what i should expect and how she can get me there. I am not the easiest person to follow sometimes on my thought processes when it comes to my Divorce and all matters associated. Victoria kept me focused on the important issues on what i had the ability to effect. She also appropriately reminded me of what I needed to accept. My favorite saying Victoria has when she right is this: "Are we done wasting your money on that? Will you listen to me now?" LOL!! This has been the toughest thing i have ever endured......Victoria and her team made it much easier and worked for me and my best interests at all times. I do not regret one dollar i have spent and feel that i have received a great service for the expenditure. Thanks for having my back Victoria!!!
I had questions about finding a lawyer in another specialty. Ms. Bentley took the time to listen to my concerns and she pointed me in the direction of a lawyer who did specialize in that area of law. She was very knowledgable and compassionate.
While it turned out Vicky didn't happen to practice in my area of the state, she still took time out of her day to meet with me, lend understanding of the laws and assistance for an attorney that does practice in my area. It is my opinion, Vicky is a blue chip lady that would represent her clients in an ethical, effective manner focued on the best possible outcome for all.
My Situation was a simple one but I needed a lawyer. Victoria was quick to work on a remedy for my situation. The situation is not resolved yet but I am confident that the whole thing is resolved. I will use her in all my legal situations from now on.
Victoria is a non-nonsense attorney who is also empathetic to everything a person going through a divorce experiences.....from the divorce settlement to custody. Once she understands what outcome you'd like to see, she sets realistic expectations and doesn't waste time and money chasing after unrealistic "dreams". Definitely the person you want to deal with to help you get through one of the most emotional trying times of your life.
As an attorney in the same community as Victoria, I have had the opportunity to benefit from her knowledge of matters outside my practice area, as well as appreciate how she uses that expertise in her practice. Victoria is extremely intelligent with the rare ability to see the many sides to any issue. Her approach to a case is realistic, yet compassionate. Victoria is very hardworking, and tenacious in pursuing the best possible result for her client. At the same time, she maintains a high degree of professionalism. It would be difficult to imagine a better advocate.
I live in Australia, my children live in USA with their Mom. After an attempted negotiation with my ex to bring my children to Australia for vacation failed I needed to have some matters of the custody agreement clarified and modified. Bentley Law discussed and advised me of my entitlements, took my matter to court and supported me throughout. The case was so well presented that at the hearing the judge queried my ex 'so why shouldn't the children be permitted to travel to Australia?', to which he found her answer to be inadequate - IE, I had a reasonable request and we were better prepared. My children got to visit Australia, catch up with their cousins, uncles, aunties and grandfather, none of which would have been possible without Bentley's assistance. We are now in the process of having the custody agreement modified so that my children can travel frequently. The time zones did throw in some challenges and I am very pleased with their service.
I have used Victoria's firm over the past few years. In the course of my business I deal with atttorneys regularly. Victoria and her team are extremely knowlegable, honest, and genuinely concerned about their clients. I will continue to use her firm and recommend her services to anyone in need.
I was very fortunate to have Victoria represent me in my divorce. At the time I found myself in a position to seek an attorney I was personally very hurt and overwhelmed by my situation. I began in the beginning of the alphabet of the yellow pages under attorneys and fortunatley found Victoria after not too many calls.... She was knowledgeable, helpful, efficient as well as cared about my personal well being. She exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her.
I was very happy that I chose Victoria to handle my divorce. She handled everything for me and made sure that I was treated fairly and received what I deserved. She worked expeditely to have my divorce completed in a timely fashion. I hope to never need a divorce attorney again, but would feel confident that Victoria and her firm could handle it well.
