- Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney - Board certification is achieved only after a minimum period of practice in a designated specialty and competitive examination by The Florida Bar.

Board Certification by the Florida Bar indicates the attorney has demonstrated command of Florida State and Federal criminal law, evidence, and has extensive trial experience.
- SECURITIES LAW - Mr. Behr is a certified Arbitrator for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA, formerly NASD). If you are charged with a white collar crime because of your involvement or association with any aspect of the securities industry as a broker or financial advisor call Attorney Behr for a consultation. The FINRA is the regulatory agency that is charged by Congress with supervision and enforcement of all securities laws affecting the NY Stock Exchange, Stock Brokerages firms, dealers, associated persons and all aspects of securities law.
If you, or a family member is arrested, your first concern is that you quickly get effective and competent legal assistance. Your freedom, your liberty is my only concern. The experience and knowledge of your criminal lawyer can make the difference between keeping your freedom or going to prison.
I've been aggressively fighting for my clients in over 10,000 cases: murder, drug cases, burglary, kidnapping charges, robbery, security fraud, wire fraud, drunk driving DUI, to white collar crimes and sex crimes.
I will handle all aspects of your case personally. You won't deal with an associate lawyer. I will be in court with you, and for you; from getting immediate and reasonable bond to trials of complex white collar criminal charges.
