Excellent lawyer

Mrs. Henderson is brilliant! Very knowledgeable and sharp. She is my third lawyer and I am very happy I chose her. Maria Henderson and her team are exceptional. My divorce case is very difficult and complicate but I trust Mrs. Henderson with all my heart! I know she is the best! I highly recomme...nded her! She is sent from God to me!

Excellent lawyer

I hired Maria and her firm to represent me in a divorce proceeding. I conducted numerous consultations before deciding on hiring Maria. I felt good about her from our first meeting as she seemed extremely knowledgable about domestic law, the court system and the process in general. I must admit havin...g never gone through as divorce before, I was a nervous wreck. I wasn't eating or sleeping well and I was consumed with worry about my future and my child's future. The day I hired Maria, I actually slept through the night for the first time. My initial instincts never betrayed me as Maria stood faithfully by my side for the full 13 months it took my divorce to get to trial. During the trial, the judge commented on how I had hired one of the best family law attorneys in Brevard County, although I already knew this. Many things can't be controlled during a divorce but having Maria and her staff with me the whole way made the experience so much better. I honestly don't know what I would have done without her. I would hands down recommend her to anyone seeking to navigate the court system.

OUTSTANDING LEGAL REPRESENTATION

I had a complex family law case which started in 2011 and ended in 2014 after using 2 other well respected attorneys and 3 mediators in Brevard County. I went through 9 temporary relief hearings and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees from other attorneys. Unfortunately, I needed to find ...other representation that would fight for my children after the divorce was finalized in 2014. Specifically, the Parenting Plan needed to be enforced and Maria Henderson knew the ins and outs of the details of my complex case. Maria was not pushed around during the hearing, she knew the law, and we succeeded with a ruling in our favor. I wish that I had known Maria in 2011 to fight for my children. I highly recommend Maria Henderson as a competent, detail oriented attorney who listens and will fight for her clients.

The Best Family Law Attorney!!!

Maria is by far the best family law attorney in Brevard. Prior to hiring Maria for my divorce I had already used three different family law attorneys, who did absolutely nothing for me. Maria immediately filed a motion for temporary relief and got me a hearing rather quickly. My previous three attorn...eys never even mentioned filing a motion like this. She also filed motions to compel and forced my ex to turn over financial documents. Maria did more for me in three months than the other three attorneys combined did in 2 and half years. She is smart, compassionate, and three steps ahead of the other side. I VERY HIGHLY recommend her as an attorney.

Awesome attoreny!

I hired Maria on a child support issue. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and quite frankly, unbelievable in the courtroom. I had been paying too much in child support and my job had changed. Also, I was seeing and keeping my kids more often than before. Ms. Henderson was ab...le to get my child support lowered and I cannot tell you what a weight that is off my shoulders. If I ever need an attorney again I will be calling Ms. Henderson!!
