John M Henderlite III

I'm very disappointed in Mr. Henderlite. He was quick to take our consultation fee and give us the impression he was going to represent my mother in her divorce, but when we notified him we were going to retain his services he decided he didn't want to represent her. This required us to pay yet anoth...er consult fee to another lawyer. MY mother is 82 and on social security. The last thing she needs is lawyers taking advantage of her.

I hired Jay at the initial consultation. I wanted a law firm that handled LGBTQ cases for my divorce. I initially made three appointments with different Jacksonville firms and cancelled the other two appointments after my meeting with Jay. He instantly put me at ease by asking how I wanted the meetin...g to proceed and what were my expectations. He took notes and addressed each question and concern. Jay kept me updated throughout the process and when things were not going the way I hoped, he cut to the chase and presented my options. He always gave me the best case and worse case scenarios. He and his staff are professional, curtious and genuine. They all made a difficult situation bearable. I am eternally grateful to everyone at Watson Henderlite.

Jay is a great lawyer who listens carefully to you and identifies strategic directions instead of getting caught in a tit for tat that is common in divorce cases. He is fair-minded, well versed in family law, very honest, and acts very ethically. He looks out for you. I would not hesitate to use h...im if you ever need a family lawyer - he will be your best ally.
