Posted by Kristina | May 24, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Traffic/criminal

James Henderson did am amazing job withawvwral of my traffic and a minor criminal charge.When contacted or needed him to get back with me he always returned calls or emails within a very short amount of time. All my traffic and the minor charge were either dismissed or pled down to very small fine an...d no points off license! Hopefully I wont get anymore but if I do, I kno who I'm calling!!

Posted by Amanda | March 23, 2018 | Criminal Defense

extremely educated, very kind, helpful, i so appreciate him, and his help

I called Mr Henderson, and spoke to him about a stalking issue I am going through. He is so understanding, and gave me direction, and was extremely helpful. I feel so much better. I am just so happy that I made the right call. Great attorney. Amanda M

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.
