Child Custody

Our entire family is very happy that our nephew has found and hired this attorney since a previous attorney given to him did not help him to see his boys like in the past. This attorney is excellent and we consider this a Blessing also.

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....

This 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.

Best attorney I have ever had!!!

I hired Henry Law to represent me for my divorce, custody, and support matters. This was the best choice ever! I got support, received primary physical custody, and my divorce was resolved through a property settlement agreement. Having had a prior attorney, I can say that Mr. Henry's billing ...is absolutely transparent and fair. Also, I was always able to get in touch with him because while he has an office phone, he also gave his cell phone so that I could reach him anytime. Compared to my prior attorney, where I never knew what was going on and was never prepared for court, Mr. Henry always prepared me for court ahead of time and with his online server, I could access my documents, calendar items, and other aspects of the case 24/7 and it did not cost me to do so. With my prior attorney, I had no access to documents and always had to call for updates, which cost me every time I called. I highly recommend this law firm

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!

Exceptional & Excellent attorney!

Rebuilding your life is never easy after a divorce, especially when there's a child involved. I hired Mr. Henry to represent me in my support case, by far one of the greatest lawyer in PA. Not only has he answered many of my questions about this issue, but I had many doubts and worries coming into th...is case. Mr. Henry has put my mind at ease with the current situation, which ended in a victory! Presently, re-hiring Mr. Henry for a custody matter; in hope of winning that case. I highly recommend Mr. Henry for consultation and/or any legal matter. Thank you Mr. Henry, for turning a negative and emotional roller coaster into a positive new phase in my life!

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.
