This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Genuinely caring and impressively knowledgeable

I am a victim of crypto scam. I have been knocking on every door I can possibly find hoping I can find help. Most people I talk to have no idea what cryptos are and how they work. The ones who do understand and can actually help are helpful only if there’s something in it for them. The second they re...alize my case isn’t worth their time, they just cut the conversation short and wish me good luck. Having spoken to many of them and being hopeless, I found Mr. Behr. His knowledge about the crypto world is so impressive. Once he realized how much I have lost, he was kind enough to honestly tell me not to hire him as this would not financially make sense. I honestly felt like when my late father used to give me advice. Mr. Behr knew that I wouldn’t be his client but still took his time and explained the process, steps I need to take, people and organizations I need to contact, and subjects I need to familiarize myself with in order to fight this battle on my own. Mr. Behr is the type of caring professional we need more in today’s society. Thank you so much Ralph. You definitely made me think there are still good hearted humans out there. Just like you said: “ Winners Never Quit & Quitters Never Win”.

Phenomenal experience

My experience with Mr. Behr and his staff was nothing short of phenomenal. I hope to not ever need representation again. But In the case I do. J would absolutely use Mr. Behr. I would also fully recommend him to anyone I know in need of representation.

Domestic Violence

We, the couple have a discussion and fight for the very first time, my wife called the police and we got into a case, then she decided to do not go further with the case and hired Mr. Ralph. As you should know one time in your life you can make a mistake and with Ralph the case was dismissed as it su...ppose to be when you recognized that both made the mistake and you do not want to hurt your spouse or take advantage from the law.
