Posted by Chris | June 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Hire him!

Clark did an excellent job representing me for a child custody issue. He was quick to respond to any question I had, always looked out for my best interests, and his hard work resulted in a win. Thanks Clark!

Posted by Allyson | February 14, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Absolutely YES!

This review is for Mr. Clark Henderson. He was my attorney while practicing at Campbell & Henderson. Sadly, he had to back out of my ongoing divorce case due to conflict of interest. Mr. Oberliesen was representing my spouse at the time, and both attorneys joined as partners-creating their shared ...law practice that is today, 'Oberliessen & Henderson'. Now that that's explained, I cannot speak for that new practice, but for Mr. Henderson himself. My experience with Clark was a God send. Dealing with a bad divorce attorney in the past, he completely changed my opinion of lawyers. He is a different breed of person, let alone attorneys. If you want someone that sees you and treats you as a human being, and cares what happens to your children, this is your guy. He always made time for open/honest communication. Even when I was hard to communicate with. Phone calls and emails were answered/addressed in a timely manner and given the utmost courtesy. That behavior alone is so telling in a lawyer and law practice!!! My kids and I were going through a lot-- much more than typical divorce stuff (which is hardcore and brutal on its own). Dealing with domestic violence issues, serious medical problems, corrupt/negligent/incompetent Army command, and relocation issues--he was my ROCK-- and he did it with grace, integrity, humility, and compassion. I hope he never changes because it is a gift from God that he is able to share with the world. Dont get me wrong- he has immense respect for military- as i served too- but he acknowledged and identified where there was misconduct and did his best to remedy what was within his scope. Military wives and children in that area are suffering in silence and there is a diabolical habit of sweeping it under the rug, among the myriad of other things commands dont want to touch. People misinterpret acknowledgement for being anti-something- not the case. He kept up to date and educated himself on medical issues and knew the severity/seriousness...more importantly, the cognitive and physical impact. That said, had made no unreasonable or unrealistic expectations of what i could or could not do (relayed, scheduled, etc. accordingly) but never treating me as an invalid. He knew the care and love I provide my kids, regardless of everything, even on the worst days. To this moment, if it weren't for the conflict of interest, I would not hesitate to hire him again in a milisecond. Its been almost a year that he has not been representing me and I regret not writing this review much sooner, as he is so very deserving of all the praise in the world! Divorce is expensive but a good attorney is WORTH it, believe that!!! And he did not take advantage of anything, if I'm completely honest, I feel like I owe him still- and probably always will. That is how a great attorney/person will leave you feeling. Anyone going through this: just know you are stronger than you know and braver than you think. this too shall pass!!! I know this review is winded (i never write reviews) but I want to include whatever helpful information I can to aid in someone making a decision which holds so much weight. LIVES are literally at jeopardy.

Will Preparation

I had previously had an alimony modification done by Mr Henderson, and it was time to have a will drawn up. The process was easy, and thorough. Mr Henderson explained how the process and law worked in Florida. Also, very fast writing the will from my input. I would like to thank Mr Henderson, Lori ...Patterson, and Cindy Bumgardner for their time and effort. If you need an attorney for any family law related issues, I highly recommend Mr Henderson and staff.

Divorce

Mr Henderson and his staff did an excellent job concerning my divorce modification. All of my questions and concerns were answered. The communication was outstanding. I would highly recommend Mr Henderson for any Family related legal issues.

Child Relocation

Mr. Henderson helped me with my daughter's child relocation case. He was an excellent attorney and I would recommend him to anyone with family law issues. During our first meeting Mr. Henderson explained the relocation statue in great detail and what would need to be done during the case. Mr. Hend...erson took the time to make sure all of my questions and concerns were answered. Prior to the court date anytime I called or emailed Mr. Henderson was quick to reply and made sure I had everything I needed. The entire staff was equally professional and prompt. During our hearing Mr. Henderson was professional and comfortable dealing with the judge and opposing attorney which helped calm me down as well. This was a stressful time for me but he made me feel at ease and was there every step of the way. If I ever need a lawyer to take care of my family law issues it will be Mr. Henderson.

Family lawyer | Mar 22

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As a peer professional and local attorney that has had the opportunity to represent clients in an adversarial posture to Mr. Henderson's clients, I can attest to Mr. Henderson's professionalism, skills as an advocate and negotiator, and representative of his clients' best interests. I have found that when there is an opportunity to resolve matters short of litigating in court, thus saving the client literally thousands in attorney's fees, he is creative and above board in his dealings and I have had success in working with him to bring disputes to mutually satisfactory resolutions. Whenever that was simply an impossibility and matters did need to proceed to court, I have found Mr. Henderson to be a well prepared and formidable adversary. Indeed, when I have an event opposite Mr. Henderson, I know that I will need to cover all my bases, explore every angle and be almost over-prepared because I know that is the type effort he affords his clients. He has my unqualified endorsement."
