Bentley Bentley & Bentley is a full-service law firm serving clients throughout the Greater Atlanta area. The firm handles three primary practice areas: Civil Litigation and Appellate Practice, Criminal Prosecution and Defense, and Wills and Estate Planning. Its client roster spans individuals charged with offenses ranging from DUI misdemeanors to national corporations, local government entities, and state government agencies, reflecting a breadth of representation that reaches from individuals to institutional clients.
The firm’s stated approach distinguishes it from larger practices through direct attorney oversight at every stage of each case. The website states that matters are “overseen from start to finish by experienced lawyers, not first year associates with the occasional oversight of an overworked partner.” This hands-on methodology is the firm’s central positioning point, emphasizing senior attorney involvement rather than delegation to junior staff working with minimal supervision.
The firm frames its client relationships as multigenerational and describes the practice as combining “big results” with a “family feel,” with client relationships intended to last across generations. This framing sets the firm apart from high-volume transactional practices and emphasizes continuity of representation.
Notable outcomes cited on the site include a 75 million dollar civil judgment and successful dismissals of criminal misdemeanor charges, offered as examples that illustrate the range of the firm’s results from large civil verdicts to efficient resolution of smaller criminal matters.
Staff listed on the website include eleven named attorneys and professionals: Fred Bentley Sr., Fred Bentley Jr., R. Randall Bentley Sr., Coleen Hosack, Sam Hensley Jr., Jamie Wingler, Lauren McKenzie, Sue Bentley, Song Williams, Jennifer Owens, and Bianca Laplanche, covering both legal counsel and support roles.
The firm’s service profile covers criminal defense and prosecution, civil trial and appellate work, and estate planning for Atlanta-area individuals and families. The practice’s multigenerational framing and emphasis on direct involvement from senior attorneys reflect an approach built around sustained client relationships rather than high-volume case throughput.
