PHENOMENAL Trial Attorney

Lawrence Behrmann is an extraordinary trial attorney and a warm, compassionate, and fair human being. I, better than anyone else who has reviewed him in this forum, would know - he's been my attorney for almost 20 years and has represented me brilliantly on an ongoing basis over this period. His ...knowledge of trial law - specifically of its nuanced application within the courtroom - elevates him above other attorneys. He has taken on some of the biggest family law practices in Texas on my behalf and won convincingly, often confounding the opposition by demanding of it the same precision of case presentation that he demonstrates. He wins an immediate respect from judges because, at trial, it becomes evident very quickly that he knows the law at least as well as they do - this is very UNCOMMON in a trial attorney. Lawrence could practice for a much larger firm and also could practice within many other areas of the law...and be enormously successful. However, he intentionally keeps his firm small in order to provide the quality of representation that he believes each client deserves. When I discover that a friend has encountered legal problems, I immediately think of sending him or her to Lawrence. Whenever I have done this, their experience has always been a good one. Lawrence has even won, recently, a federal case in which a friend of mine was involved. I am a middle-aged businessman who has witnessed many trials and seen many courtrooms. I have yet to witness an attorney provide the same type of exceptional courtroom representation for a client as that provided me by Mr. Behrmann. He really did fight for me as though he were fighting for himself...what more could a person ask for?

"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."

Family lawyer | May 09

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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."
