LATE OR NO SHOW
I hired Mr. Henry for my custody case in 2019. He was an HOUR late to the custody hearing and was rude with no explanation why he was so late and unprepared. He lost my case for me. He has no respect for clients time. Do not use him for your attorney, there are so many other good ones out there....

Replied last December 20, 2019This is absolutely false. I have subpoenaed documents relating to this "Anonymous" poster and will be filing a civil action and also be requesting criminal prosecution. This is the same person that provided the prior false review and for some reason this site permits entirely false reviews to be posted without any vetting whatsoever. I am filing a libel action against this person, who is mentally ill.

Not recommended at all
Horrible. Hired him to represent me in my custody case. Took a sizable retainer, and never even followed up until a day before my case. Made me wait outside of the courtroom while he allegedly argued the case, only to lose. Never sent me a breakdown of the retainer, kept it all AND kept my file, ...

Replied last October 09, 2015This is clearly written by someone who was not my client and lost to my client in court and is now trying to get back at me for my victory. Read every other review to realize this person was never a client of mine. This comment does not match any client I have or had. Everything in this comment is a lie. I have no such client that any of this info could apply to. This is submitted by an anonymous person and is exceptionally suspicious and on it's face written by someone who has little grasp on reality and is clearly unstable. Example: how would a custody case be argued without the parent being in the courtroom? So, clearly this is a lie. I have no files that any client has requested, so that is a lie. I suspect this is written by someone on the opposing side of a case that lost to me in court and is trying to get back at me for what must have been a great victory for my client. I have had countless custody victories.
