Civil Rights 10%

A civil rights attorney helps protect the personal rights granted to you by the government. When someone violates those rights, a civil rights attorney can help you make them stop these violations, or repay you for any damage they have done to you. Your civil rights are spelled out in federal and state constitutions and in discrimination laws. In fact, civil rights attorneys are sometimes called discrimination attorneys because they frequently handle cases involving a person being treated unfair

Criminal Defense 10%

If you are suspected of a crime or charged with a violation of law, you may require the services of a criminal defense attorney to present your defense or negotiate a penalty. As different rules and procedures exist for different offenses, you should seek a criminal defense attorney who has worked on your particular type of case to provide you with the best defense. An experienced criminal defense attorney knows what information the government will need to prove your guilt.

Employment and Labor 10%

Employment attorneys focus on the many laws concerning the relationship between employers and employees. If you feel your employer has treated you wrongly as an employee, or if you're an employer who needs to terminate an unsatisfactory employee, you may benefit from the services of an employment attorney. Some professionals, such as teachers, policemen, and pilots, belong to labor unions, which have specific negotiation and labor law procedures that protect union members.

Immigration 10%

Immigration attorneys (sometimes called “green card lawyers”) represent people who want to come to the United States, whether it be for schooling, work, or just a visit. Immigration lawyers can also help “illegal” immigrants found living in the U.S. without permission. Immigration laws govern who can enter the U.S., how long they can stay, what they can do while they are here, and how they can become American citizens.

Fighter!

I had an outstanding experience working with Chauncey D. Henry, Esq. From day one, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and a level of commitment to my case that far exceeded my expectations. Chauncey took the time to understand every detail, explained the process tho...roughly, and kept me informed at every stage. What impressed me most was his strategic thinking and ability to anticipate issues before they became problems. His confidence, communication skills, and command of the law made me feel protected and empowered throughout the entire process. He fought hard for me, gave honest advice, and delivered results that I didn’t think were possible. If you want an attorney who combines legal excellence with genuine care for his clients, Chauncey Henry is the one you want in your corner. I highly recommend him without hesitation.

Highly Recommended!

I retained Mr Henry for a complex civil matter, he handled it professionally and was very responsive to my needs and requests. He explained the law to me, and my options and represented me throughout the entire process in a competent and efficient matter. As a result, I achieved an outcome that I am ...pleased with and appreciate Mr Henry’s assistance each step of the way. Highly recommended and will use again.

Fighter

Mr Henry and his office fight very hard on my behalf in a case against my prior job. He took time to explain the details and law and was winning to accept my case when other Attorney's did not. As a result of his efforts, I received a settlement that though not as high as I would have liked it was mo...re than enough to help get me back on my feet so that I could provide for my family and I would recommend him and his office anytime.

Great Attorney

I retained Mr. Henry in connection with a discrimination matter, where he did an excellent job in getting me the justice I deserved. He took time to explain legal concepts, the law and rights available to me every step of the way. I would recommend his services hands down and never had a question as ...to his ethics or moral compass during the course of the representation. If you need further information, send me an email I am more than glad to assist.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
