Saved me on my divorce and custody cases

I can't say thank you enough to the lawyers at Henry Law. I went to them first with my custody case for my three kids and was able to get shared 50-50 custody. Considering my work schedule and lies from my wife about me, I was super happy with being able to get this, which is what I wanted. Becaus...e they did such a good job, I hired them for my divorce, which went quickly. Because of their strategy, my divorce ended quickly and with a fair settlement.

My custody lawsuit.

Henry is a very good lawyer. I asked him to help my daughter's custody lawsuit. He is a very experienced lawyer. From the very beginning, he gave me very good suggestions and helped me draft very reasonable conditions acceptable to both parties. I followed the steps he told me and finally reached an... agreement with my ex-wife before going to court. I am very satisfied with hired him as my lawyer. He used the least time and money to achieve the result I wanted. Very good lawyer, highly recommended to everyone.

Child Custody

I would like to thank Mr Henry. I was faxed with an Emergency Custody Hearing. I found Mr Henry short notice. He was honest and did not think I had a case. But heard me out anyway. It's 1 in a million to for a grandmother to get Custody over a parent. But Mr Henry won me that. And I have retained him... for more issues that have arrived. Brutally honest, but will fight for you against all odds. I would recommend him to anyone. Pricing is more then fair for the dedication you get, and passion. Thank you Mr Henry for fighting for the rights of the child.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
