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.

Thorough work!
Mr. Henderlite was a heartening balance of professional and attentive. He listened to the entire story and even worked, in tandem, with another attorney to ensure our case was handled as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Absolute Blessing
John Henderlite III and the Watson law firm guided and fought for me through one of the most difficult and emotional times of my life.

Wonderful Family Lawyer
Jay did a great job representing my interests and the interests of my children. He was conscientious of both my goals and my wallet, which I really appreciated. Communication is returned promptly, and while I'm sure Jay is very busy, he never makes you feel like an imposition. Since my divorce I've a...
"Jay and I have worked on several cases. He is a fierce advocate for his clients while maintaining a professional and courteous demeanor both in and out of court. He is well-respected by lawyers and judges. When I see his name as opposing counsel, I am confident that the case will be handled in an efficient, ethical, and responsible manner. I fully endorse Jay."
"Mr. Henderlite is an excellent lawyer, and I highly recommend his services. I've worked with Mr. Henderlite on hundreds, if not thousands, of prior cases, and he was a formidable, yet respectful, adversary on all matters. Not only is he knowledge and well-versed in the law, but he employs strategic plans in the courtroom in an attempt to obtain the best results possible for his clients."
"I ardently endorse Jay Henderlite. He is a talented, intelligent and empathetic person and lawyer who cares deeply about his clients and the results he achieves for them. His professionalism is beyond reproach. A client could not ask for a better advocate."
"Mr. Henderlite and I had a case together. He was polite, professional, and prepared. I endorse this lawyer."
