Bentley joined the firm in 2011, and initially spent several years in the Fort Walton Beach office learning the practice of Wills, Trusts, and Estates. The combination of the firm growing, having an office location in downtown Pensacola, and Bentley’s fondness for the area, he then moved to and started a family in Pensacola.

Litigation cases can range from advocating for a family member that has been cheated out of their inheritance, to defending a Trustee falsely accused of embezzlement. He will take depositions, attend hearings, and try cases before a judge or jury. He handled his first appellate case to successful conclusion in 2013 and has since been back before the 1st District Court of Appeal on two more occasions.
Bentley Fisher handles the following types of litigation cases: Will and Trust contests, fraud, duress and undue influence, and fiduciary litigation. In addition, he also handles nursing home Medicaid applications, new Trusts, Wills, and probate cases.
