The Behrins Law Firm is a full service law firm offering a wide variety of legal services. The firm practices in all federal courts, and in New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., and through affiliated relationships in jurisdictions across the United States and internationally.
Several former members of our firm have gone on to public service as legislators and judges including a Member of Congress, New York State Assembly persons, New York City Council persons, judges of the New York City Family Court, the New York City Criminal Court, the New York City Civil Court, the New York State Supreme Court, the Suffolk County, District Court, and the Federal Eastern District Court.
Members of our firm have tried over 1,200 jury and non-jury cases to conclusion, roughly 800 of them being matrimonial or divorce cases (three of which were – unusually – jury trials) involving custody, child support, alimony, pensions, real estate and the equitable distribution of professional licenses and practices and businesses. Another (roughly) 600 were settled before or during trial.
It is believed that one of our divorce trials resulted in the largest monetary verdict ever in New York State against a single asset, in that case, a medical license valued in millions of dollars.
The three principals have a total of more than 95 years’ admission to practice in New York State, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C., and all are admitted to the practice of law before the courts of this State, the Supreme Court of the United States, and the United States District Court for the Southern and Eastern Districts. The firm is actively engaged in the practice of law and has prosecuted and defended actions in all of the state’s courts of original jurisdiction, as well as in the federal courts. We are a boutique trial lawyers’ firm, as trier of our own cases and as trial counsel for other attorneys.
