Scott gets the job done, period.

Scott was successful in delivering the results I hired him for. He is a hard worker and creative in solving problems. He is well informed and well connected in the community, and gets the job done. I am truly grateful with his representation and the outcome. I would recommend to any family member wit...hout hesitation. Thank you Scott.

exceptional work

I am exceptionally grateful for the service that Mr. Behren has provided me. He has not only taken the time to review my case but has worked diligently to make sure everything was handled accordingly. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking his professionalism.

Outstanding attorney

I hired Mr. Behren for an employment case. He handled my case very professionally since the very beginning, and got me a good settlement. He is very knowledgeable, easily approachable, sharp and smart in his trade. He has excellent sense of humor and makes clients feel comfortable dealing with him. H...e is very dedicated to every client and handles each case as his own. He is very hard-working and efficient in his case management. He will stand by your side throughout your entire legal battle and get you the best result possible. He possesses superb analytical capability and judgment. He will fearlessly and aggressively defend your case in the court of law. Hire Mr. Behren for all your legal needs and you will never regret.

Posted by Allys | December 05, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Appeals

Unprofessional and Poor Service.

I hired Mr. Behren to appeal my case. Mr. Behren charged me $5,000.00 for the appeal. Instead, Mr. Behren prepared a mediation, for which he never prepared me, Mr. Behren filed an unopposed motion for an extension of time because he knew about the mediation, but the reason of the extension was a “wor...kload” on his side, a few days after he filed this motion he notified me about the mediation that was scheduled a month ago, in the mediation he was working in his laptop doing “other stuff”. The mediation was a nightmare, during 4 hours I told Mr. Behren I did not want to sign any agreement and that we should go ahead with the appeal. I was under a lot of pressure from Mr. Behren that I signed an agreement for the claims in the appeal. After I hired him I mentioned some potential claims that I would need his help with after the appeal, weeks after I signed the mediation agreement he sent me an email stating the mediation agreement included all potential claims, since I refused to accept this statement Mr. Behren advised the other party (defendant) to file a motion against me, which the other party did, now I’m dealing with this mess thanks to Scott Behren. Scott Behren is unprofessional and dishonest. I do not recommend Scott Behren to anyone.

Based upon Florida Bar Rules of Ethics I can't respond in detail to these allegations, but contend that they are not accurate.

Efficient intelligent and experienced

Honestly all I did was sit back and let Scott do his thing. He's a professional that knows his trade very well. Very personable and to the point. I would definitely recommend him as an attorney and would most certainly go back to him if I ever need his services in the future.
