Best Hirer

I originally hired Mr. Henry to assist me with addressing an existing custody order. Before I hired Mr. Henry he was kind enough to take my call and answer some preliminary questions. I was confident when I placed my retainer. One of Mr. Henry's best qualities is that he is an effective communicator.... He will always return your phone call, email, or text message in a timely manner. Another great attribute is that he tirelessly fights for his clients. For my case I didn't get everything that I wanted, but I did get more time with my children and for that I am very grateful. Mr. Henry is an excellent closer and he does a great job with prepping his clients so that they are prepared to testify and tell their story. While my ex-wife's attorney took our case personally, Mr. Henry remained professional. In fact, even when I thought that the case was done. Mr. Henry was called to conference a disagreement regarding the order and he represented me without my knowledge till after the fact. Mr. Henry and I settled up our bill and left it that if need I needed him he'd be there for me in the future. Well that was sooner than I wanted. My ex's lawyer modified the order to reflect everything, but what the judge said. That other attorney tried to be dishonest and unethical when the order was not sent to him for review but sent to the judge instead. He didn't hesitate to make the appropriate calls and stop the wrong modified order from being signed. My ex's attorney continued to send over bad orders to review which were all wrong, He was so irritated with the unprofessionalism of the other attorney that he went ahead and just wrote the modified order himself. Mr. Henry did not charge me for the other attorney's incompetence. And just when I thought things were settled I still hadn't been given an order outlining the winter holiday break. Mr. Henry responded to my text message on Christmas Eve and called me back to reiterate that their was no new order on the docket and that we were to go by what the judge verbally order. I happened to get a hold of the "supposing" order and pasted it on to Mr. Henry. He hasn't stopped fighting for me and I know that he won't until the custody order is true and final. I am beyond grateful to have him in my corner. I will certainly use Mr. Henry for future custody issues.

Custody Case

I hired David Henry to handle custody issues with my twins. When we met for consultation he told me some outcomes that were highly likely. He also let me know some concerns I had about school district were not likely to go in my favor. I was very grateful when everything played out in conciliation... the way David said it would. David really shined in the courtroom when the opposing counsel tried their shenanigans. I was awarded a lot more time and came out a winner! Thank You David!

Very satisfied

I cannot express enough how pleased I have been with the results and services provided by Mr. Henry. Prior to obtaining Mr. Henry, there was an unfair child custody order put in place. I was not very confident in the beginning as I felt that no matter what, the courts did not favor the father in cu...stody matters. Mr. Henry ensured me from the very beginning that he would obtain a favorable court order and he did just that. Throughout the process he was always available and had no problem with me contacting him on his cell phone at anytime (days, nights or weekends). If he did not answer right away, he would get back to me later the same day. If you are looking for a trustworthy attorney who will keep you informed throughout the process, you will love Mr. Henry.

Custody Case

Mr. Henry was very professional in his manner. We covered specific questions that we would encounter at the hearing. He responds to your phone calls and covers the information that you need. I am very confident of his legal experience and knowledge.

I'm glad I hired Mr. Henry

I had hired a lawyer to help me with a foreclosure on a rental property. But the attorney was nearly incompetent; he failed to answer complaints, failed to respond to my requests for information, and, overall, left me with a feeling of vulnerability. I let him go, and hired Mr. Henry. What a differen...ce a competent and experienced attorney makes! Mr. Henry took over the case and swiftly dealt with the mess that the previous attorney had left. After he negotiated with the other party, I was very happy with the terms of our agreement. The overall experience with the two attorneys was like night and day. I have dealt with many lawyers, most being good, competent attorneys. But Mr. Henry truly exemplifies what it means to go above and beyond. He continually kept me informed of his action plan and progress of the case. And what I really appreciated about Mr. Henry was his patience and his competence, and since I'm not a lawyer, his ability to communicate to me on my level. Although he communicated to me that I would probably not prevail if the case went to trial, I felt confident that I would emerge with the best possible outcome. I was very satisfied with the outcome and the entire experience with Henry.
