Behme Jennifer M

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueI’d give this place a 0 stars if I could, but Google won’t let me. Her fee for her divorce legal services are overpriced for the sub-mediocre quality of work and lack of any due diligence. Despite some fanfare from only 2 colleagues and the fake positive reviews she paid people to do, I wondered if her subpar, poor performance was part of the entire legal strategy, or in fact, she was just performing poorly.She doesn’t perform poorly when it comes to getting paid. She only cares about getting paid, maximizing her own personal profits, and working with the opposing lawyer both of them to get paid more. She dedicates a smaller amount of effort at giving legal advice in letter memos via e-mail and the mail which are hard to understand, in addition to reading through all the simple elementary school grammar errors and spelling mistakes in those memos that she would charge you a lot for.In court, she completely nosedived in front of the judge, the other lawyer, and seemed like she cared more about protecting herself than me the client and keeping dibs on what favors she owes the other lawyer and the judge to make sure they all profit when the day is done. That court experience taught me she’s a questionable lawyer and I question her integrity.I’d give this place a 0 stars if I could, but Google won’t let me.

Critical: Quality, Responsiveness, ValueTo start off with at least one good thing about her, it’s obvious she has a lot of legal knowledge. However, now with all of the bad things, Jennifer Behme is an overhyped, overpriced, untrustworthy lawyer who uses those skills to maximize her own money profits and does nothing to make sure you get the proper defense in court or in a settlement. You could hire a lower priced lawyer who could have gotten better, if not similar results. There was one of many bad experiences where she knew a court order was approved for me to visit my kid, and my ex-wife’s lawyer was saying the order was approved so I could see my kid, but Behme waited a long time to finally tell me the court order was approved and could visit my son. Unfortunately, I listened to my ex-wife’s lawyer and got my kid anyways before Behme told me, so I could theoretically give good compliments to my ex-wife’s lawyer, (but won’t). Behme is also a master of not recommending anything, but sputtering a bunch of vague, nebulous legal facts that oftentimes takes her almost a week to type a letter memo that she charges hundreds of dollars to both mail and e-mail you. If you ask her to explain the memo, she’ll charge you more for explaining it. I also remember all the grammatical errors and typos in all those memos she charged so much for. She was also “amazing (insert sarcasm)” at not defending me in court, getting chummy with the judge and my ex-wife’s lawyer, watching me get walked over, but yet “amazing (no sarcasm)” in acting as my ex-wife’s second lawyer. As another disclaimer Belleville lawyers also appear to have a close-knit network to collectively maximize profits, so I would recommend looking outside of Belleville or the Metro East St Louis area if you plan to go to court with another lawyer in Belleville.To start off with at least one good thing about her, it’s obvious she has a lot of legal knowledge.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, ValueDoes not care about her clients, their situation, nor the case. Most important item to her is money. Be prepared to pay about 2000 a month for her services. We hired her to help with our family case and it was a struggle to get communication from her and then when the case got more complicated she demanded an additional retainer for the same thing we hired for in the first place. When we told her that we were impacted by this COVID situation she didnt care and demanded copious amounts of money from us. We offered a payment plan which she refused asking for the full amount in full. Whem we had to retain other council to represent us because of her refusal to perform any actions until she was paid in full we told her that we still intended to pay her whatever amount we could afford a month. Rather than understanding or agreeing to a payment plan she immediately asked for a judgement against us for the full amount. That filing and the email responses about her money was the only things she did fast throughout the hold time we had her. It would take days to get an email response but when it was about her money she responded in seconds. Took her a week to file a motion for us in the case but her judgement request motion she filed minutes after we emailed about a payment plan. Save yourself some trouble and find yourself a lawyer that cares about the clietnt, the case and not how much money you represent to them.Does not care about her clients, their situation, nor the case.
