Scott behren says you matter

As a low level employee of a much bigger entity it was literally the mouse versus the elephant I was bullied and harassed to the point where I felt uncomfortable in my situation as an employee from the moment I first spoke with me Behren I felt like I mattered to him It’s very scary going up again...st what’s right and what’s wrong and and not only did he stand tall in his opinion, but his attitude lifted me up to stay strong myself throughout the entire matter I never felt alone once he included me in every step of the process and even thanked me for standing up for myself in a situation where you could feel down as you have to defend yourself against people that you considered colleagues On a personal level, he affected me in ways that he didn’t have to do. The laws are cut and dry. And I can end on at that because he is very knowledgeable and his fields of practice, He took a very modest fee for what I consider efforts that were priceless to me. But as a person you can feel alone in these situations and he never let me get down on myself or feel weak. He lifted me with his contagious attitude.

Unpaid wages

I've retained Scott Behren on several (4)cases in the past and have been overly satisfied with the work & results reached, being successful in each one. Mr. Behren IS the ONE, HANDS DOWN. Straight to the point, and getting the job done. I truly & highly recommend.

Top Notch Litigator

Tremendous litigator who doesn’t waste time on BS and goes straight to the point to achieve results

BEST ATTORNEY

Melissa and I can only classify Scott Behren as a BEAST, if you're looking for someone that won't take NO for an answer, keeps you up to date on everything going on with your case, shark in the court room, and will get the job done, this is definitely the attorney you want on your side. We can't than...k him enough for everything he did for us!!

Efficient and Effective

Great Employment Attorney who is experienced in negotiating and well-versed in the laws (i.e. what Employers are NOT allowed to do to Employees, and when it crosses the legal line). Highly recommend.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
