Family law can be emotionally charged, and the effects of family-law decisions can resonate for a lifetime. Whether you’re going through a divorce, facing child custody issues, or experiencing another heartrending family-law matter, it’s crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the complexities of legal proceedings, achieve an effective resolution, and foster healing.

Lynda F. Bentley, attorney at law, is a litigator, mediator, and a former associate judge for the 310th District Court in Harris County. With more than three decades of experience practicing civil and family law, she has the legal acumen, unflinching courtroom courage, and resolution-focused approach that gets results.

Mrs. Bentley understands how judges view cases and issues because she was a judge herself. This unique experience allows her to emphasize the issues that are important to judges. She has 40 years’ experience as a litigator.

Many clients who have entrusted Mrs. Bentley to handle their divorce or child-custody case went on to work with her on other issues, from wills to probate administration to estate planning.

Mrs. Bentley’s clients can’t say enough good things about the results they achieved from working with her. One client states, “I had an extremely complicated case. On consults, other attorneys told me I didn’t have a chance. Lynda Bentley got me more than I asked for, and I came out with the majority of assets.” Another client says, “I really don’t know what I would have done without Lynda in my corner during my divorce. She is such a strong and knowledgeable attorney. Her team was on the ball, and I am more than happy with how everything turned out.”

When it comes to family-law matters, you may think you know what to expect. Maybe you’ve talked to family or friends about their circumstances, or maybe you’ve been there before. The truth is, though, that every case is deeply personal and can impact your life until concrete legal resolutions are in place. That’s where Mrs. Bentley’s decades of experience litigating, mediating, and being a judge can benefit you.

Outside of work, Mrs. Bentley enjoys spending time with her husband and grandchildren. She’s passionate about working out and particularly enjoys running and golfing. Mrs. Bentley is involved in her local church and has served on the board or in leadership positions for numerous community organizations, including the Cy-Fair Chamber of Commerce, the Business Development Board for Southwest Bank of Texas, Willowbrook Rotary, METRO, and the Roseate Women’s Shelter.
