Sonny and Esther rock!!!

On December 21st 2018 I started my new job as a maintenance man for a local Christian school. I was very excited and I did my best to make a good impression on my new boss (Mike). At the end of my first week, I felt pretty good. It was Friday evening, soon to be dark and it was raining hard. ... It was a perfect time to go for a run (jog). My reflective vest went on and I went running. 10 minutes later I found myself face down on the pavement, wondering how I got there. During my jog I was crossing a side street (within a crosswalk), the car making the left turn didn't see me until it was too late. My left knee was broken immediately as I rolled on to the hood of the car and back to the pavement. Later, when I told my new boss Mike what happened, he immediately referred me to a lawyer by the name of Sonny Behrends. Mike told me about his own car accident years ago and how Sonny Behrends helped him in more ways than he could possibly count. After my first initial phone conversation with Sonny Behrends I came away with a feeling of trust because he actually listened to me and he spoke with kindness while being honest/realistic about the possibilities of my situation. It has been a full year now, since the accident. Sonny and his assistant Esther have been absolutely and incredibly wonderful throughout this entire process. Here are just a few of the reasons I will be grateful to them both forever: Their personal support and caring shine through in all that they do. They handed me a check that was bigger than anything I thought possible. The courtesies they both extended to me and the patience they practiced when I made mistakes, is priceless. It will be remembered always. Rob Jennings

Never saw trial

Me. Behrends made sure my case never even made it to trial I also never even had to talk to cops. He was always responsive and did absolutely what he needed to do when it needed to be done to make sure that I didn’t have to do anything. He’s the type of lawyer that’s not afraid to go after people for... what’s right.

Simply The Best

Sonny, was incredibly personable and understood what I was going through and helped me through an incredibly tough situation. He definitely has gone above and beyond. Appreciate you so much! - J

Personal Injury & So Much More

I was recommended to hire Sonny for an auto accident personal injury case. He has represented me for this and so much more. Sonny is a compassionate, smart, creative and goes the extra mile. Often times reducing his fees and doing what's best for his clients, not for his bottom line. He has becom...e a confidante, a friend and I look forward to a long lasting business and personal relationship over time. His enormous desire and passion to make sure you are well are the driving force behind his accomplishments.

Excellent Attorney

Excellent attorney. Was quick and thorough, very kind, and responsive. Felt like I had a family member as an attorney. Highly recommend him.
