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.

My girlfriend has used Jacklyn for a number of diverse matters. she is thorough, thoughtful, available, extensively knowledgable and experienced in an array of matters. Her Followthrough and communication are excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

I was referred to Jacklyn Bentley from the Bar Association. I was injured in a car accident. The defendant was 100% at fault. My car was totaled and my T11 injured. Geico refused to believe I was hurt. My first attorney filed the law suite because Geico would not settle. Unfortunately, he got ill and had to drop off. The second attorney had a heart attack and had to drop off on advice of his doctor. I spent two years trying to find an attorney while Geico beat me up. I contacted many attorneys. They all turned me down, as two attorneys had already been on the case. I went to the bar association for help. They sent me four attorneys to contact for a free consultation. Jacklyn was one of the attorneys. The case was complex. She was honest that her case load was such that she could not take the case but gave me several names to contact and encouraged me not to give up. She was extremely helpful and responsive to all of my questions. All the other referrals said no and left it at that. However,Jacklyn provided a lot of information about the legal process and gave me names of attorneys to try. She then went one step further and reached out to see how I was doing. She is more than a good attorney she is a compassionate caring human being. In the future if I need an attorney, I would not hesitate to contact Jacklyn.

Jacklyn helped me resolve an issue with a contractor which resulted in a favorable outcome for me. She is an excellent attorney; she is knowledgeable, skilled at negotiations, pays attention to details and provides insight that clearly comes from experience. Above all that, she is also very personable, patient and shows concern for her client. I would recommend her to anyone I know.

Ms. Bentley was helpful in a HOA case, and exceeded my expectations in how fast she communicated any question I sent, her follow up, and her direct language to the HOA that resulted in not only my judgement, but their payment! I highly recommend Ms. Bently.

She helped me with a Small Claims action with paperwork and requirements to file and how to handle myself in court. with her help I was able win my case.

Jacklyn was extremely helpful and responsive to all our questions and concerns, and she took her time preparing all of our documents with great details and key points. It was our first time filing a lawsuit and she was with us every step of the way. Toward the end of the case, she negotiated on our behalf and was able to help us get better settlement. Throughout the journey, Jacklyn had provided excellent services and put her excellent knowledge of the legal procedures on the full display. She is patient, friendly, attentive, passionate and truly a real professional. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience! We enjoyed working with Jacklyn and are grateful for her excellent job. We highly recommend her for any legal needs!

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

I hired Jacklyn several months ago to handle my traffic ticket – my first ever. She was prompt in all communication and sent regular updates by snail mail about the status of my case, court dates, etc. (Thankfully, since it was a traffic ticket, she was able to appear on my behalf, which was a huge benefit.) I just received a call from her last week that my traffic charge was reduced to a 0 point offense, which I'm pleased with. She followed up with a letter by mail with instructions for paying the court costs and fees to close the case. Overall, I would highly recommend Jacklyn for handling traffic offenses.

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 court 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.
