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.

Excellent attorney and great legal advice

I hired David Henry at Henry Law to help me with my divorce and custody matters. He is completely honest, straight-forward, and his fees are reasonable. I had a prior attorney before coming to him and she charged me for all kinds of nonsense . . . no overbilling with David though! I am forever grat...eful to him and his staff for helping me obtain primary custody and dealing with my very difficult spouse. I was able to get a very fair property settlement and am now able to move forward with my life. I have already recommended him to my cousin!

Now I can start a new life after divorce!

I came to Henry Law with divorce, custody, and support issues and was terrified about my future. Mr. Henry not only put my mind at ease through the process, but helped me get primary custody, both spousal and child support, and even discovered money my spouse was hiding, which resulted in me getting... more money than I thought we ever had! Now I can start my new life and I'm excited about it.

Smart, professional, honest and GREAT results!

I met with Mr. Henry for a dealing with my custody, support, and divorce issues. I can't say enough GREAT things about him and his staff. Although my divorce is not quite done, he has worked to get it completed as quickly as possible, despite the other side trying to delay things. Won on a tough c...ustody case and he effectively fought to have my suppost set at a much lower rate than what it could have been. I love his online portal where I can review all documents and calendar items 24/7 and without the need to call and discuss the status of things like I had to with my prior attorney. My prior attorney would nickle and dime me on everything, but that wasn't the case with Henry Law. Highest recommendation

Exceptional Results on my divorce and custody issues

My prior attorney messed everything up and I didn't even know until I went to meet with David and during my initial consultation he was able to immediately figure out why the divorce case wasn't moving forward and came up with a plan of action. In little time, I got my divorce decree! As for the cu...stody of my two girls, I was able to get primary custody and was allowed to move out of state with them. Mr. Henry ... you helped me in my time of need and stress and I can't thank you enough. God Bless You!

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.
