Great Experience, Highly Recommended!

From the start, Mr. Henderlite was attentive, thorough, and in constant contact. It was very easy to communicate with him as needed; anytime I called or emailed him, he would contact me the same day. I never got the feeling that I was being rushed off of the phone, as he always took the time to make sure I clearly understood each step of the process, answering any and all of my questions and his professional guidance was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Mr. Henderlite's professional services to anyone that needs consultation or representation in the areas of his expertise. Give him a call or email and see for yourself! Very grateful that I chose John M Henderlite!

Comfort to know you are in good hands!

Practice areas

A MODERN FAMILY LAWYER COMMITTED TO QUALITY, CREATIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE REPRESENTATION.

Family law is an exciting, dynamic area of practice....for lawyers. For everyone else, it can be daunting, intimidating and sometimes downright unpleasant. I believe in educating and empowering my clients so they can make the best decisions for their families. I pride myself on answering all of my client's questions so they are able to make the decision that is right for them.

Most family law cases settle without going to court. However, settlement is only beneficial if you know what you are agreeing to and what you could be giving up. If you do not have a lawyer who will answer your questions, and give you confidence, then you will always wonder if you gave up too much.

When settlement is not possible, I am committed to fighting for your best day in court. I have been a litigator my entire career and will fight for you and your family.

I am a modern lawyer serving all modern Florida families. No matter your family law issue, I will help you solve it as quickly, painlessly and cost effectively as possible.
