Hard Working Attorney

Attorney Angela Henderson was recommended to me by a good friend- Lorili. My first impression was that she was a sweet and genuine women who cared. She did her best to support me throughout the divorce assuring that everything will be ok. I trusted her and we finished on a great ending.

Highly recommended

Angela was always there for me and even did things outside of my expectations for her. I would highly recommend her for anyone, especially for those who struggle financially. She seems to have a soft spot for single moms and this made me truly connect with and trust her. I owe her the world!

A force for good that fight for good causes

Angela Henderson is a force for good that fight for good causes. Having said that I went to Angela after having 2 previous lawyers, and after a lengthy search where no other lawyers wanted to take the case because as they said my case had been previously handled by 2 lawyers. So, I arrived at Ange...la only three weeks prior to trial proceedings, worried and exhausted. She sat down with me and asked me to explain my case, ask for my documents, looked up my case in the court docket, called opposite counsel and told me what she could do for me. She will tell you the truth , will not embellish anything and will give you the facts and what she can achieve. I was touch by her honesty and the way she actually took out the time to explain what was expected, and what needed to be done; it was the first time any lawyer actually took the time and had the decency to treat me like a human being not just talking about money, hours, figures and time they would have to work the case "to fix it." She told me she could have my case resolved in a small time frame which turn out to be truth, whereas other lawyers told me it would take years. In brief Angela will fight for you tenaciously, in a timely fashion, and she will care because every case she takes she is fully invested in.

Former SATISFIED client

I had a cut and dry case with my divorce, that ended in December 2011. I have two children and custody was my main concern. Angela sat me down on our first meeting, asked me a few pertinent questions, and then told me what to expect, how much it would cost, and more importantly, she asked me what I w...anted (in terms of the split) to gain out of this process. The only delayswere in returning phone calls to me, but usually she did return them in 24 hours or less. I felt understood and well-informed after our initial visit, and with subsequent visits, as well. I did have to rehire her later this year to "remind" the ex to make payments on out of pocket medical expenses. She charged me a nominal fee for that--and I was able to recoup the cost from the ex, in part, according to our judgment. I felt as though she charged a reasonable fee for the divorce. My case, again, was cut and dry. No litigation about custody. He agreed to what I asked for. I was actually referred to Angela by a friend going through her divorce last year. Best decision ever!
