Searching for a Good Attorney

My wife and I had been searching for an Attorney to handle A Real Estate Lease and an Agreement to be made. In searching on the internet We came across David Henry from Henry Law, LLC . We met with David a few days later at his office to go over our needs. David advised Us of things we were not awa...re of, which was very helpful. My Wife and I were very pleased with David’s focus and Professionalism plus his knowledge on many topics. We Highly would recommend David for anyone needing a Excellent Attorney. Also to let you know David saved us Many Dollars compared to other quotes we had gotten prior to calling David. It’s Great to know there are Attorney’s like David from Henry Law LLC out there Thanks again David for putting Our Minds at ease. Pete & Fran

Child Custody Attorney

David was hired after reviewing Avvo reviews while searching for the best child custody lawyer. After my first phone conversation with David, I selected him for the job based on his years of experience, the number of similar cases he has gone to court for, his confidence, and sympathetic ear. David h...as been by my side every step of the way in my current child custody case. He is completely confident in his work and it shows while he is in court. Most recently, he won the first step of the custody case. I absolutely love the client portal. It is so easy to upload important documents to the case as well as correspond back and forth through the messaging function. If you want someone that has the experience and will take care of everything for your case to get what you want...David Henry is the lawyer for you!

Wish there was 6 stars

Very friendly, keeps you calm and focused. Just follow the advice, its a difficult personal process, but David keeps you on the practicalities and tasks that must be done. ‘Adhere rigidly to Davids advice, it benefits you in the long term’. Very fair on billing, extremely upfront and explains what he...lps your case and what you have to avoid doing. Stick to this advice I cannot stress enough following David’s advice. Wonderful chap. To date David has fought extreme and many efforts to affect my custody, divorce and child support matters. I had a huge change in circumstances and David managed to ensure custody rights and won 100% and protected me from devious malicious efforts from a very overbearing attorney, with an underhanded emergency petition thrown in as a last ditch effort. Long may his great advice and success with my situation (and others) continue. PS In case you forgot ‘Stick to David’s advice’.

David got me full custody

While transitioning through the hardest times, David Henry remained confident and knowledgeable. He has gotten me full custody of my small children and I couldn't be happier.

winning attorney

Mr. Henry is an amazing attorney. He has been handling my custody case. He has two wins in his corner. I feel very confident going to court with Mr. Henry on my side. Not only is he a great attorney he is very easy to get ahold of. He gave me his cell phone number so I am always able to reach him an...d the best part is he is available on weekends. He is extremely thorough And explains everything every step of the way. I would reccomend Mr. Henry to anyone who is looking for A great attorney.

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.
