Posted by Randy | January 04, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Knowledgeable and Professional Divorce Lawyer

I worked with Mr. Henderson and Lori for about 18 months toward my eventual divorce. I was super happy with my results. He was very honest about what to expect, and from his initial counseling to the final result, he was right on the money with what I would probably lose in the divorce, which was s...ignificantly less than what she asked for. I would highly recommend his services as a divorce lawyer to anyone. Feel free to contact me on my webpage at www.randysurles.com if you want more information. Thanks, Clark!!

Excellent Service! Super happy with the outcome of my Divorce!!

I worked with Mr. Henderson and Lori for about 18 months towards my eventual divorce. I was super happy with my results. He was very honest about what to expect and from his initial counseling to the final result, he was right on the money with what I would probably lose in the divorce, which was s...ignificantly less than what she asked for. His initial session covered the reality of what I would probably lose in the divorce and he consistently answered all of my questions expertly and accurately throughout the process. I would highly recommend his services as a divorce lawyer to anyone. Thanks Clark!!

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

Mr. Henderson and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. I feel they went the extra mile to be completely upfront and honest. They did their research and came prepared when it was time to finally go to court. Highly recommended!

You will not find a better lawyer than Mr. Henderson

I had a very unique case, which involved an immigration fraud and no consummation of marriage. I wanted an annulment, for which Mr. Henderson fought furiously. I did not had any children involved, still the case got twisted because my X had her twisted games. My X filed against me in court of New Je...rsey once she found out we were trying to file a case here in Florida and I was hunting for her location (I was contacting her friends and family). We did everything by the books. Mr. Henderson asked me to do everything that was true and right thing to do. It was a tedious and long awaiting process but a right process; which actually paid off in our jurisdictions case. I am in the military and it was hard for me to go down to New Jersey and fight my case all over again, which also meant spending more money and higher new lawyer. Because of Mr. Henderson’s due diligence we won the jurisdiction case; during which I realized how important it was to have a lawyer who was well prepared and well disciplined, because my X’s lawyer was completely opposite of my lawyer (Mr. Henderson of course). After winning the jurisdiction case it was time for my annulment case, one month after. IMPORTANT; Killed two birds with one stone. Since the beginning Mr. Henderson knew wining an annulment case was tough and diving into the gravity of the situation he also filed for desolation of marriage in alternative of an annulment. Which means if the Judge don’t grant an annulment we would move on to divorce hearing subsequently an annulment hearing. Saved lot of time and money as well as going through all that stress. Predictions hold true. Judge did not grant me an annulment because of only one reason! It was not Mr. Henderson’s fault. But we won the divorce case. Bottom line: I did not had to pay a dime to my X. I got everything I wanted except a document stating an “Annulment” on top. Decree stated she committed immigration fraud which was forwarded to immigration fraud officer on a pending case. Finally, Judge asked me that I had a very unique case and I should fight for annulment at a higher court because there was no history of such cases. Mr. Henderson suggested me that I got everything I wanted except a document stating “Annulment” on top instead of “Divorce”, going further will just be an unreasonable spending of my time and money. But if I do decide to fight further Mr. Henderson said “I will jump right in with you and will fight for annulment” I am writing this review as a “Thank you” to Mr. Henderson for giving my life back. Trust me people he is the right lawyer for you.

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."
