Tenant-landlord nightmare.

I was very fortunate to meet David Henry due to an unfortunate tenant landlord issue. During our first conversation he explained the process which I would need to follow for resolution of the situation. He then explained his billing, which was extremely clear and fair, to me. Mr Henry was e...asily reached by cell phone and in the rare event that a message had to be left, a prompt call was returned. The case was difficult, however, he argued the case effectively at the hearing and we won!

This Attorney is Excellent

This Attorney is amazing. I had a appointment with him, and was requested unexpectedly to appear in court the same day. Mr. Henry adjusted his schedule, reviewed documents, and met me in court within hours. The outcome was very favorable for me. I found him to be very competent, compassionate, and hi...ghly effective in his representation of my very complex situation. This by far has been the BEST ATTORNEY I have ever encountered. He was just what I needed, gentle as a dove as I was very emotional, but the BULLDOG I needed in the courtroom. I would highly recommend this skilled Attorney to any and everyone who wants one thing. TO WIN.

Scared first time

After receiving my first and hopefully last Dui I was terrified. What do I do? How am I gonna afford this? And out of the extensive list of attorneys out there, who do I go with. I was recommended David Henry by a work associate. I got in contact with his law firm and he got back to me immediately. ...I didn't know what to do or how this was going to work. David was very accommodating and assuring. He spoke to me as a friend instead of just another client, which has made this whole terrible experience alot easier. He is extremely confident in his work and as well should be. He is more than professional and gives you the confidence that you need to get through this long, hard process. David kept me well informed along every step of the way. Keeping in contact with me and updating me on any changes in the case. Money is another big part of this terrible process. David was not just helpful with setting up more a than fair price but also a fair and accommodating payment schedule. I can't say enough about how much David has helped me through this troubling time in my life. I'm glad I made the in choice contacting David and would recommend to anyone else that has to make unfortunate decision on who to turn to with legal troubles to do the same. Thank you David.

Attorney Extraordinaire

David Henry was very helpful for me in my recent real estate transaction. He also took the time to discuss other legal issues I had regarding taxes and my recent divorce. I was glad that he is so knowledgable in many areas of law. He is also very accessible and responds promptly to questions and p...roblems during all hours of the day and weekend!

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.
