This firm and I don't remove "reviews". We respond to them. Mr. Henick did remove prior reviews when he realized that they were inaccurate and unfair. Robert Henick came to us for his father regarding a real estate issue in 2019. The progress of the case was explained to him every step of the way. His father's case was settled in a successful mediation. He and his family were very happy with the results. He has since contacted us numerous times to represent him after this but we declined to further present him. We wish him the best of luck.
