Sharp, Young Attorney That Advocates Well For His Clients

I've been a client of the Campbell & Henderson since 2009 and Mr. Henderson started working my caseload exclusively in 2015. I closed out work with him in December of 2015 and had to retain his services again in the beginning of 2017 for some extremely time sensitive work that required his complete f...ocus and dedication. He and his paralegal, Ms. Patterson, did a great job advocating for me and getting motions in front of the court very expeditiously, without sacrificing the quality of the work. I highly recommend Mr. Henderson, as he is a sharp, young, proactive attorney who avocates well for his clients.

The best law firm in Okaloosa County

Mr. Henderson represented my son in his child paternity and shared custody case. My son is military, he was absent a majority of the time that the case was being prepared for court. There were so many obstacles to overcome in order to prepare a successful case for the hearing. Mr. Henderson and his t...eam not only worked hard with many time restraints, but they kept us completely informed at all times. There were times when the firm made contact with us on their days off just to be sure everything was going well with us. During the hearing Mr. Henderson was so prepared to present evidence in our case, we barely had to speak. Mr. Henderson is very comfortable and confident in the court room setting, this helped us a lot since we were on edge about the outcome of the case.On the day that my son won his rights in court, the attorneys rejoiced with us as if the child were their own. We plan on keeping in contact with Mr. Henderson for any future assistance we may need. My family is grateful for his services.

My experience with Henderson Law

Clark Henderson was cold and non responsive to emails and phone calls. He did not follow through with what was awarded to me and because he did not have correct information on the court documents, I was not able to receive what was awarded. He would take no phone calls on the situation, I was just to...ld to pay what I owed even though I was unable to collect anything because I was still going through court on the same issues having to represent myself. This is information on my representation from Henderson, so you can be informed when you choose the best attorney for you.

Over two months to serve husband

We signed a contract with Clark's office and it has been TWO MONTHS since the paperwork has been completed and my husband still hasn't been served. When I called the office they did not apologize but tried to blame it on the process servers. I would not use Clark again and regret using him as my atto...rney.

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."

  • 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.
