27 Important Reasons Clients Ask Jeffrey Behrendt To Represent Them In Divorce & Family Law Matters -- and Why We Hope You Will, Too!

Continued from 27 Reasons to Hire Us

Reason #17: Easy To Understand. Clients delight in how clearly and precisely Jeffrey speaks. They easily understand what he tells them. Fortunately, he’s not like many lawyers who talk over their clients’ head.

Reason #18: Honest, Fair And Upfront With Fees And Costs. Jeffrey makes every effort to minimize the number of hours he works for his client. If you want to follow a particular course of action, Jeffrey will tell you whether you’ve made a good choice -- and the likely consequences, including fees and costs. In addition, Jeffrey is upfront with costs. He helps you avoid financial surprises by keeping you informed about fees and costs, and when they’re due.

Reason #19: Caring And Responsive. No matter how stressed you feel -- no matter what you don’t understand -- Jeffrey will help calm your nerves, bring your situation into focus, and explain how he can help protect your rights.

Reason #20: Calm And Quiet, Yet Protective. Jeffrey is soft spoken and talks with you from an educational point of view. Still, opposing counsel know Jeffrey can turn aggressive when he needs to stand up for his client’s rights. This is one more reason Jeffrey receives so many excellent testimonials from his clients.

Reason #21: Easy To Reach With E-mail. E-mail has proved to be a highly effective way for Jeffrey to communicate with clients, rather than one chasing the other by phone. If you approve of conversing through e-mail, Jeffrey will respond promptly.

Reason #22: Acts Only With Your Approval. You may have heard horror stories about lawyers who insist on running the show. Jeffrey doesn’t try to take over. He listens to you, considers what you want to achieve, explains obstacles you must overcome, and lets you decide how you want him to proceed. Then he supports your decision. He does not take action without first getting your approval.

Reason #23: Asks Questions The Other Lawyer Will Ask. Jeffrey goes into great detail to help you understand your case, as well as the opposing point of view. He even asks questions the other lawyer will ask. This helps you gain a realistic vision of what lies ahead and how to approach your case.

Reason #24: Client Communication. The cornerstone of Jeffrey's success has been the quality of his relationship with clients as well as his expertise in handling the most sensitive or complex cases. His primary focus is to listen to and communicate with you so he better understands your needs and provides you with the best possible representation.

Reason #25: Long-Time Friend And Neighbour. Jeffrey was born and raised in Ottawa. He now lives in Ottawa with his wife, Aviva, and young son, Emet.

Reason #26: Clients Are Family Members. One reason Jeffrey gets excellent results for his clients is because he works as hard for them as he would for someone in his own family.

Reason #27: Educational Web Site. Jeffrey has designed an in-depth educational web site to answer your questions. Plus, he invites your inquiries, by e-mail and telephone.
