Avoid this attorney

His last review of May 2017 is very correct. He is an excellent attorney to make sure he gets paid. "I have to get paid even if you die" . Final outcome of my case was horrible and unfavorable. Our personal opinion after this experience, is that he is more concerned about himself and his colleagues.... Avoid him by all means!!

Horrible Experience-Bad Outcome

I agree with the other client who previously stated that Mr. Henderson secretly converses with opposing counsel and talks negatively about his clients. He withholds all the information he obtains with his verbal agreements with opposing counsel. He then proceeds to bill $100 for every email response.... I would not refer him to any friends, family or anyone. Maybe he's better in simple bankruptcies but he's definitely not an attorney for complicated cases.

Malpractice and Malfeasance by sorry attorney

I hired James Henderson to represent my small business company and managers in a bankruptcy case. First; he demanded $5,000.00 to get started. He did not filed schedules on time, failed to communicate around issue(s), made disparaging remarks about us to opposing counsels and failed to file timely r...esponse to court deadline and orders and caused an adverse outcome. He even stopped representing us and filed to withdraw. He never gave any accounting of the funds he received. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

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.
