Irvine, Ca. (June 11, 2018) – Four attorneys with the firm Bentley & More LLP made the 2018 Super Lawyers Southern California Rising Stars list. This year, the list honors Bentley & More partners Matthew Clark and Clare Lucich, and trial attorneys Natasha Axelrod and Evan Grant.

Each year, Super Lawyers recognizes the top lawyers in Southern California via a patented multiphase selection process involving peer nomination, independent research and peer evaluation. The Rising Stars list is developed through Super Lawyer’s patented multiphase selection process that showcases the industry’s brightest and most promising legal talents under the age of 40. Notably, no more than 2.5 percent of the attorneys in the State of California are named Rising Stars. Bentley & More LLP is proud to support the next generation of promising trial attorneys, and wishes to congratulate and celebrate the firm’s Rising Stars honorees.

At Bentley & More LLP, we provide aggressive legal representation to consumers and employees across California. Our attorneys are fierce litigators with decades of experience advocating for our clients. While we are effective in resolving many kinds of conflicts outside of litigation, we have a proven track record of fearlessness in taking matters to trial and beyond. The firm’s success comes from tailoring each solution to a client’s particular needs. That success is measured in far more than awards, verdicts, and peer recognition, it is measured in the real differences made in our clients’ quality of life.
