Professional Indian Couple Divorce
My ex was like how Trump is. An IIT engineer and IT PM, but with three spirits on the inside (I know - each spirit is like a nuclear reactor), and I am a physician. Dealing with him was most difficult because he was absolutely a spiritual mess on the inside (much more than average). Took me 21 years ...

Honest, up front and strong.
He is very good. He will work with you if you lack the money you need, but only if he knows you can pay; most attorney's don't do that. He's smart.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had Lawrence as opposing counsel on several cases. Lawrence showed exceptional skill and knowledge as a lawyer and always conducted himself professionally while zealously representing his clients."
"Fantastic lawyer - very competant!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Attorney Behrmann over 10 years ago. He is a strong advocate for his clients. If I had a legal problem in Harris, Ft. Bend or any county that he drives to, I would ask his opinion. He is always thoroughly prepared and works diligently to represent his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. I was an opposing counsel to Lawrence in a case in 2005 and he was very impressive. He was willing to go to trial and willing to be reasonable. He is honest and keeps the best interest of his client in the front of his mind the whole time. He works hard to get the best possible outcome for his client. He speaks honestly with his clients and gives them good advice, even when he knows that it is not necessarily what the client wants the hear. Since that time, I call him to ask him for advice on cases that have a mix of family law and probate / estate law elements, because his is very knowledgeable in both areas. Lawrence is a good, honest, and decent person and I highly recommend him and I have referred potential clients to him. I very much endorse Lawrence Behrmann."
"He's prepared, honorable, and a zealous advocate for his clients. Lawrence is not afraid of the courtroom and smart enough to know when to fight and when to settle."
"behrmann takes a very practical approach to family law cases. This very refreshing"
"I endorse this lawyer."
