Most awesome Lawyer!! One of my favorite people!

Barbara is not just a lawyer but simply a wonderful human being. It has been a delight to work with her through my case. She has a high level of legal IQ and also a very high level of emotional IQ. She definitely puts her client's best interest first. I would absolutely recommend her and work with ...her again. It's not very often you can say that your lawyer is one of your favorite people but I'd say she's definitely one of my favorite people. She's awesome.

Absolutely the best decision, Hiring Barbara as my legal counsel !!

All attorneys are not created equal!! Barbara Behrens is and was everything I needed in an attorney and more. Her confidence and knowledge made me feel like I could get thru this, even though I was not so sure of myself. She was my strength when I was weak. Barbara is so caring and has such a w...onderful personality, she honestly cares about her clients and will do everything in her power to do the best job for you. I highly, highly recommend Barbara Behrens.

She did a great job!

I was going through a very difficult divorce. Barbara was easy to talk to and was always on my side. She always did exactly what I asked of her, backed off when necessary, and pushed me forward when it was needed. She even helped me keep my sense of humor throughout what could have been a much worse ...situation.

Highly recommended

Barbara is an excellent attorney with exceptional attention to detail. She works to fully understand your situation and works diligently for your best interests. I highly, highly recommend her. I had a very difficult and contentious divorce. Barbara's experience, patience and commitment helped me g...et the settlement I was entitled to receive.

Sincere and compassionate while using her extensive legal knowledge and no-nonsense approach to produce results!

Barbara Behrens is a compassionate and sincere, yet no nonsense and extremely professional attorney. Unlike most attorneys I spoke to while searching for legal counsel in St. Louis, Missouri, Barbara took the time to listen to my situation, was genuinely concerned for what I was going through, and of...fered encouraging words and support. She clearly realized the stress my ex-wife's actions were causing myself and my family and proceeded accordingly. She quickly devised a strategy and executed it just as quickly. Because of Barbara's extensive knowledge of the law, thorough research of similar cases, and the hard work, open communication, and follow through by both herself and her assistant Angela Wexelman, the judge ruled in my favor and I won my case. I highly recommend Barbara Behrens to anyone seeking legal representation in their family court matters.
