Bentley & More LLP is proud to announce that eight of our attorneys have been recognized by Best Lawyers® in its 2027 editions, including seven attorneys selected for The Best Lawyers in America® and two attorneys recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America.

We are especially proud to announce that Keith Philip More has been named the 2027 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” for Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in Orange County—a distinction awarded to only one lawyer in a specific practice area and geographic region.

These recognitions are particularly meaningful because Best Lawyers awards are based on peer review—feedback from fellow attorneys regarding the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographic region and practice area.

2027 The Best Lawyers in America® Honorees

Bentley & More congratulates the following attorneys on their inclusion in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®:

  • Gregory L. Bentley
  • Matthew Clark
  • Dane P. Gilliam
  • Jose Gonzalez
  • Clare Lucich
  • Keith Philip More2027 “Lawyer of the Year,” Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs, Orange County

Each of these attorneys represents the qualities Bentley & More strives to bring to every client and every case: exceptional advocacy, preparation, integrity and an unwavering commitment to those we represent.

Keith More Named 2027 “Lawyer of the Year”

This year’s recognition is made even more significant by Keith Philip More’s selection as the 2027 “Lawyer of the Year” for Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in Orange County.

According to Best Lawyers, “Lawyer of the Year” recognition is awarded to the individual attorney who receives the highest overall peer feedback in a particular practice area and geographic region. Only one attorney receives the distinction for each specialty and metropolitan area in a given edition.

For Keith, whose career has been defined by fighting for injured individuals and workers, this recognition reflects the respect he has earned not only from his clients and colleagues, but from fellow members of the legal profession.

His selection is also representative of Bentley & More’s broader commitment to providing sophisticated, trial-ready representation to individuals and families facing life-changing injuries.

2027 Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America

Bentley & More is equally proud to congratulate two of our attorneys recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America:

  • Braydon Bentley
  • Nico Mamone

Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America recognizes outstanding professional excellence among attorneys earlier in their careers. Best Lawyers notes that recipients are generally attorneys in private practice who have been practicing for approximately five to nine years, and the recognition uses the organization’s Purely Peer Review® methodology.

The recognition of Braydon and Nico speaks not only to what they have already accomplished, but also to the strength of the next generation of trial lawyers at Bentley & More.

What Does It Mean to Be Named a “Best Lawyer”?

Best Lawyers has been recognizing legal talent for more than four decades. The Best Lawyers in America® was first published in 1983, and the organization has continued to use a peer-review-based process to identify attorneys recognized for excellence within their respective practice areas.

Unlike awards that rely primarily on applications or marketing submissions, Best Lawyers describes its recognition methodology as Purely Peer Review®. Its goal is to capture the consensus opinion of leading attorneys regarding the professional abilities of their peers practicing in the same legal field and geographic area.

In other words, the recognition comes from those who understand the demands of the profession firsthand: other lawyers.

That makes inclusion especially meaningful to our firm. Our attorneys routinely work alongside—and across the courtroom from—some of the most accomplished lawyers in California. To earn recognition through confidential evaluations from members of that same legal community is an honor we do not take lightly.

How Does the Best Lawyers Voting Process Work?

The Best Lawyers selection process begins with a nomination. Candidates then undergo peer review, during which eligible attorneys evaluate lawyers practicing within relevant specialties and geographic regions. Best Lawyers collects and analyzes that feedback, verifies candidates’ eligibility and good standing with their applicable bar associations, and ultimately publishes those selected for recognition.

For the traditional Best Lawyers awards, lawyers recognized in the current edition are eligible to vote for the following edition, and attorneys are not permitted to vote for themselves.

The peer evaluation gets to the heart of professional reputation. Best Lawyers explains that voters consider a fundamental question: If they were unable to handle a particular matter themselves, how likely would they be to refer it to the attorney being evaluated? Attorneys rate their peers on a five-point scale, with the opportunity to provide additional feedback or indicate that they are not sufficiently familiar with a nominee’s work.

Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America follows the same core peer-review philosophy, while focusing specifically on lawyers earlier in their careers.

A Recognition of the Entire Bentley & More Team

While these honors recognize individual attorneys, their success is inseparable from the people who stand beside them.

Every case at Bentley & More is a team effort. Our attorneys are supported by paralegals, legal assistants, case managers, administrative professionals and staff members who share a commitment to our clients and the work we do on their behalf.

Having nine Bentley & More attorneys recognized across the 2027 Best Lawyers publications is something our entire firm can celebrate.

It reflects the experience of our established attorneys, the promise of our next generation of advocates and, most importantly, a shared commitment to fighting for people whose lives have been changed by serious injuries.

Congratulations to Our 2027 Honorees

We congratulate Gregory L. Bentley, Matthew Clark, Dane P. Gilliam, Jose Gonzalez, Clare Lucich, and Keith Philip More on their recognition in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, and Braydon Bentley and Nico Mamone on their recognition in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America.

And a special congratulations to Keith Philip More on being named the 2027 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” for Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs in Orange County.

We are proud to have each of these exceptional advocates representing Bentley & More—and even prouder of the work they do every day on behalf of our clients.

Congratulations to our 2027 Best Lawyers honorees!
