About Bell Legal Group
We do both. And have been for a long time now. Bell Legal Group is dedicated to helping people get through some of the most complex, difficult life tragedies they will experience. Since our founding in 1983, we have earned a national reputation as a go-to law firm. Our proven team is experienced and highly skilled – and we’ve earned a reputation for getting results where others could not. Unlike some law firms that try to handle cases spanning too many practice areas, we keep our focus on select areas of injury law to provide you with the most comprehensive, effective representation. We can help you with medical malpractice, auto defects, environmental law, police and jail misconduct, and fatal and catastrophic injury cases.
There’s an art to practicing law.
And a science to finding the truth.

At Bell Legal Group, we are committed to holding manufacturers accountable for the damage inflicted by their products.
Featured cases

If you’ve utilized such chemical hair relaxer products and subsequently experienced uterine cancer, endometrial cancer, or ovarian cancer, we urge you to get in touch with our office without delay.

Bell Legal Group is holding manufacturers responsible for the harm caused by their products. Paraquat, also known as paraquat-dichloride, is a commercial strength herbicide used for weed and grass control. Research has identified that long-term exposure to paraquat, even at low levels, can increase the risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Featured cases
Camp Lejeune Water Contamination
From 1953 to 1987, individuals residing or laboring at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, faced exposure to tainted water, resulting in fatalities, illnesses, and life-altering health issues. Even more troubling, high-ranking military officials were aware of these hazards and kept information about the issue hidden. The time has come for justice—for the courageous men and women who dedicated their service to our nation.
