Posted by Tyra | January 04, 2016 | Hired Attorney

Trustworthy, hardworking & always accessible!

I retained Scott M. Behren all the way from across the country and never felt more safe or protected. He is available on a moment's notice whenever I have a question or concern. I confidentially and whole-heartedly recommend Scott.

Posted by Chris | January 03, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Employment rights unfair practices, overtime denial.

Twice now I have hired this attorney to help me with unfair employer practices. Twice now he has won my case without even going into a court room. I highly recommend this attorney to handle your case.

Posted by Curtis | April 08, 2015 | Wrongful Termination

The right man for the job!

Scott was the person I needed most at the time I needed him. I was terminated from a job for reporting the safety concerns I had about another employee. Two days after my termination my now-former employer emailed me to tell me that I had no legal recourse because he filed my tax paperwork as a 1099 ...Independent Contractor. I filed a complaint with the IRS as despite my classification I was treated exactly as an employee (given an employee manual, uniforms, schedules, told what type of equipment to use, etc.). The IRS was taking FAR too long in issuing its determinations and I began investigating legal options. I eventually came across Scott, and, boy, am I glad I did! His retainer fee was very reasonable and he pursued legal avenues I hadn't even considered. My case settled out of court and I received far more money than I would have thought. While I don't look back on the experience with a great deal of melancholy as I miss my job and there was an emotional toll on myself and my family for being wrongly terminated, if I, or anyone I knew, found themselves in a legal tussle with a former employer Scott Behren would be the first person I would contact!

Excellent overall experience

I had an excellent overall experience from the beginning to the end. I was highly recommended from friends and he exceeded my expectations with his professionalism and attentiveness. From our initial consultation I knew I made the right choice. Scott always kept me informed and was always availabl...e to answer any of my questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend Scott.

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.
