Rockstar attorney

Buddy went in on a restraining order for me. My ex wanted to leave the state with my kids and he put the stops on it. Not only did he do that but he got me full custody of my two kids. Because I'm a man I always thought the courts favored the woman in a case but he put on a solid argument for me an...d we won. He also accepted payments from me because I didn't have the funds to pay all at once. He also didn't charge me for phone calls and emails like many attorneys do for their time. He's a little harsh at times but I didn't hire a therapist. I hired a fighter and that's what I got. Thanks Buddy. You rocked it Bro!

Excellent lawyer!

He was very affordable and aggressive in court. He helped me get custody again. Highly recommend.

Bad atty and service. Both partners are only there for the money and to not represent the client. They have ruined a case that is irreparable and now may have lost to a bad judge. They should be disbarred from practice.

All the lawyer jokes apply to this guy

This guy ruined my chances just so that he could keep my case from being transferred out of state (which would have helped me win). A fast talker from New York who's only concern is packing in clients to line his pockets. He forced me to agree to support payments that I could not afford (rather than ...present a case as to why I could not afford $5K/mo). This cost me my house, as it went into foreclosure since I was left with less money per month than the monthly mortgage. Later in the case, he refused to accept my requested course of action and HE WALKED OUT OF THE COURT HOUSE FIVE MINUTES BEFORE MY CASE WENT BEFORE THE JUDGE ! Outrageous. Stay clear of this firm.

Very skilled and tough attorney

I hired this attorney on the spur of the moment. My daughter was put in jail on a first offense for being an accomplice in theft. Though my daughter did not do the stealing she was in fact with a group of people that were. Needless to say, Mr. Behrndt took over this case and from that moment on it wa...s smooth sailing. He bargained with the DA and managed to even be quite friendly with him. He has this great presense about him and it seemed that all his colleages had respect for him. I felt comfortable. He managed to get my daughter out of jail and all she had to do was cal trans volunteering for a few months until she completed her mandatory hours. Mr. Behrndt also realized that we were financially hurt and he reduced his fees to us incredibly. He never charged us for a single phone call or email like all attorneys do. He set up a pay plan that we can live with and I feel good knowing that I have someone that I can call my attorney.
