Mr. Hensel represented me in an "employment" matter concerning services rendered and not paid for. I still had property of the other person. He worked diligently and kept me informed of progress. While the other party kept using stall tactics, Mr. Hensel took it in stride and kept me on an even keel. I would definitely recommend Mr. Hensel for any employment or labor problems you have.
I had a great experience at Hensel Law. It was easy to make an appointment, not hard to find their office, and the advice they provided me was exactly what I needed as it related to my case. Thank you Craig for awesome service! I will be definitely back again if I need it.

12 years
I grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina and am an active member of the city’s community. Prior to law school, I volunteered at the Natural Science Center, coached youth swimming, and helped build homes with Habitat for Humanity in Greensboro.
Since law school, I have used my education and love of the area to give back as I can, volunteering time with various locally-organized events geared toward helping the community, both with legal issues and through other community service.
In law school at Washington and Lee University School of Law, I was elected to serve on the Executive Committee, which presided over the honor court, among other duties. I participated in many school activities, ranging from intramural football to the Public Interest Law Students Association.
Now, I represent clients in employment matters including hostile work environment, wrongful termination, harassment, and unemployment benefits claims.

Prompt & helpful
Mr. Hensel advised me on a separation agreement promptly and with practical reasoning. He did not push to make a "case", but was clearly trying to assist me in a tough decision. I will recommend Mr. Hensel if given that opportunity.

Client Review
Since I was referred to Mr. Hensel by another work colleague, I have been pleased with the services that he and his law firm have provided for me. I have also referred others who have been wronged to him as well. Mr. Hensel has saved my career and in many other ways has saved my personal life as well. I will always be thankful for what he and his firm has done and continues to do for me and my family. Sincerely, Sanford.

Disengagement w/ Out Cause
Hensel Law assigned an attorney, then reassigned after that attorney resigned from the firm. Craig Hensel requested a notebook full of material previously provided, then terminated representation after being questioned about the necessity of redundant material. $100 deposit was provided and the case was agreed to be taken on contingency; Craig has refused to refund the $100.... Probably for the better considering, I'd rather loose $100 to the wrong attorney than $100,000 to the wrong representation. Buyer beware.

Response from Craig HenselSeptember 22, 2015
Unfortunately, this is a blatantly incorrect statement of what caused us to disengage you. We do not fire clients without cause, because that makes absolutely no sense as a business model.
Further, as explained several times, the $100 "deposit" was, in fact, a consultation fee. At the time of the consultation, you paid it and engaged us for services, showing you did not have any problems with the consultation you paid for.
Best of luck, and I hope you are able to find counsel that will work with you as a client.
