  • I recommend Cynthia Henley.
  • I used Cynthia 1-3 years ago.
  • Cynthia handled my Criminal Defense matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
I, Saul Portillo, will refer Cynthia to everyone I know, and have for numerous reasons. For one, she knows the law. She actually cares about the case's out come. I am not really proud to say that I have been in trouble plenty of times, and have come to know lawyers more than anyone should...but i have. Anyhow, this last time i was on parole and facing 18 yrs. in prison, the first person that come to mind was..."Cynthia Henley". She has represented numerous of my "friends", and we all have been happy with the results. She will do anything possible to make sure you a fair trial, and will not back down to anybody. We were suppose to go in front of the Judge for a suppression hearing, but the State dismissed the charges the day of the hearing...Other lawyers had told my brother it was a lost cause, and we should save our money and just go with a court-appointed...I will recommend Mrs. Henley for any criminal case. Thank you Chinthia!

Lawyer's Comment: This client was charged with sexually assaulting his (step) granddaughter. We were in trial on this case for 2 1/2 weeks! The prosecutor pulled out all stops in an attempt to get a conviction, including failing to disclose required evidence & other complicated misbehaviors. Despite those hurdles, we had a great jury (except for 2 who had been dishonest.) The jury hung, &, realizing they could never get a conviction, the State dismissed the case. Hopes are that the family can heal & reconnect. Hard trial but wonderfully cooperative client with supportive friends and wife. While these types of cases are emotionally & factually difficult, I am very good at them, and at getting positive results.

  • I recommend Cynthia Henley.
Client Review:
Cynthia started representing my son when he was 16 years old. He started down a bad path with the use of steroids and eventually it led to other addictions. One thing led to another, all bad, but Cynthia was there to help us all of the way.

Through her knowledge and her contacts with the bench, DAs, and the such, she always got our son the best justice and addiction help that he could receive. Her fees were always very reasonable and she worked with us on financing.

Two weeks ago my son graduated from a major university with a 4.0 average and was ranked number 1 out of 1271 graduates. He is going into the counseling profession to try to help others.

Without Cynthia's help, he would be incarcerated in Huntsville rather than graduating from a university in Huntsville with a 4.0 average!

Lawyer's Comment: This client is very special. He had so much talent it was a shame to see him caught up in his addictions, which led him to the criminal justice system. I am so proud to have had the opportunity to represent him. He will be important in so many lives! He still calls on occasion to thank me, and it really helps boost my continued desire to help people. He also had the awesome support of his family. Congratulations to him for overcoming the obstacles to be so outstanding!

  • I recommend Cynthia Henley.
  • I used Cynthia more than 3 years ago.
  • Cynthia handled my DUI / DWI matter.
  • I have previously worked with 1-2 lawyers.
Client Review:
I first hired Ms. Henley to defend me in a DWI case about 20 Yrs. ago. My case was her first for a DWI charge as an attorney. She was absolutely amazing the way she handled the trail in which 7 HPD's testified agains me. She went on to win the case that was decided by a jury and have recommended her to everyone that I know since.

Lawyer's Comment: We did get a not guilty. He was actually my second ever trial. My first was a justice of the peace trial that began at 8 p.m. & went until 3 a.m. the night before this client's case began! True to his word, this client has referred numerous friends to me over the year & we have remained in contact. I believed in him, and we got a just verdict.

Client Review:
I, Harold Griffith was a former client of mrs. Henley's. I have never experienced such great treatment. She kept me informed on any and everything, not only pleas but suggested options. I truly felt as if Mrs. Henley was not just only my lawyer, but someone who cares, listens, and is very optimistic. I highly recommend her and her services. she is very professional and knows the law to the fullest extent. Like I said, she is very professional and I will definately refer her to anyone in need of great representation!

Lawyer's Comment: Thanks, Harold. I want to point out that I took Harold as an appointed case. His positive attitude reminded me that everyone, even those with priors & whom outsiders might look down upon, deserve a break & a defense. Harold is a very nice person who got caught up in the system long ago & has had a hard time because of that. Thanks for the recommendation, Harold. It was a pleasure representing you.

  • I recommend Cynthia Henley.
  • I used Cynthia more than 3 years ago.
  • Cynthia handled my Business matter.
  • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.
Client Review:
Though I am not fond of attorneys in general, Cynthia Henley is amazing! She has handled several situations for me over the last few years and I am convinced that no one could have done it better! Detail oriented, results motivated and a winner in the courtroom best describes Cynthia's approach. Her specialty is criminal defense - of which I had no personal need; however, her handling of my civil cases was remarkable. When the quality of your life hangs on the outcome of your case, make the right call and hire Cynthia!

Client Review:
I hired Cynthia a couple of years ago to help my father-in-law out of a jam. Basically, he was accused of physical violence that simply did not happen. Cynthia was on the job from the first phone call. In my opinion she went above and beyond the call of duty and the case was dismissed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney who knows how to take charge and make things happen.

Client Review:
We had occasion to use Cynthia's legal representation twice over a five year period. Her client was our daughter and we were very pleased with every aspect of the work Cynthia did. Cynthia is very professional in client relations and always provided us with a realistic view of the proceedings and the outcome she envisioned. If the need alose we would not hesitate to retain Cynthia again nor would we hesitate to recommend her to others.
