"O" Henry...

Posted by

Rarely do I rate anyone or anything 5 stars across the board. I'm very thrifty with my opinions of people, especially those I've never met. But Mr. Henry impressed me (with his honest answers here) as someone who knows his s...! The family law problem I had was a Goliath, and totally insurmountable in my book. I was almost ready to throw in the towel and just let the other side walk all over me. And that's exactly what they were trying to do...I felt totally helpless and even worse, I felt extremely hopeless. Believe me, I shed many a tear worrying about what to do. Well, not so-now. After the initial consultation I had with Mr. Henry, I came away with a renewed energy and an absolute feeling of courage enough to face this giant, and hurl my sling shot right down his throat. I would tell anyone to go see Mr. Henry because he has a “human” vibe. He’s not so focused on $$$$’s-although he’s definitely worth his weight in gold. He’s geared more toward people because he has compassion. He doesn’t try to impress people with a big vocabulary and/or legal verbiage. I never got any unanswered questions. I never got any double talk or complicated big words that I didn’t comprehend. He wasn't judgmental; nor did he look down his nose at me. I was treated with respect and dignity. And even when I didn’t understand something, he didn’t hesitate to explain it to me again. He broke it down so I could grasp the concept more readily. I am very happy to have met this man because I want him to represent me. I believe he’ll kick butt and take names in alphabetical order!!! Plus, his slingshot is much bigger than mine!
