a personal note from Attorney Ralph Behr...
Dear Friend,
I've been fighting for my clients against the United States government since 1976. I've gone up against every type of criminal prosecutor in the country, from the slick to the mean, and I've won. I know that effective criminal defense lawyers are forged in the battlefield of the courtroom, not in crafted webpage advertisements or smooth video productions. I also know that most criminal law, both federal and Florida criminal courts, are often stacked against the innocent. I wrote the book about it in 2008… CAN THE POLICE LIE TO ME? If you haven’t read it yet you can get it on Amazon.com or come to my office for a copy
Since the day I walked into my first criminal trial I have fought relentlessly for every one of my clients.
Let me fight for you!
Call me now! 1-800-761-3446
An arrest for a federal crime or Florida crime means you need a criminal defense lawyer with the experience and power of years in criminal courtrooms throughout America. Attorney Ralph Behr has been a leader in the private criminal defense bar for over 30 years.
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.
