There are still good people out there.....

My husband and I are currently going through a divorce and his family is familier with the legal system (in a good way) however I have no idea on any of it so imagine my surprise when I was served with divorce papers and had no idea what my next step should be. I "thought" i could ask my husband for ...guidence but that was a joke. My husband lives in a different county then me so I was quick to learn that since he filed in his county I had to obtain a lawyer in his county. (5 hours away) Having 2 kids, a job and a car that has over 250,000 miles on it I didnt see how this was suppose to work. I called Angela and got a free consutation right away. I was so nervous since I never delt with lawyers before but she was so welcoming and friendly she put me at ease instantly. I had so many questions she answered them all and was so confident even informed me of some things that I never thought about or heard of. She is willing to work with me throughout this divorce and I am so greatful that there are still good people out there ready to lend a helping hand. Thanks again Angela your great!

LOVE HER!!

My husband needed a lawyer to handle his custody/support issues with his ex who just LOVES to sue us. Every attorney he'd found sounded great and said all the right things and then folded like a cheap suit in front of our very stern judge. We felt like we hit the jackpot after our consultation with ...Angela. She is like a live version of Judge Judy; ever tough and to the point. She actually told us to handle our first matter pro se (represent ourselves) because she would feel "icky" taking our money for something so simple. YES - I just said I found a lawyer who refused money! She is dogged and tenacious in her negotiations and you can bet she'll keep your bottom line in the forefront of her mind during those conversations and take no quarter. She was the only attorney I've met that made me feel 100% confident. She loves her job, she loves the law and she loves to win. I cannot say enough positive things about her. WELL worth any price she charges.

Great Attorney

She was helpful and saved me money by explaining the law to me in a way I understood.

Angela Henderson is an EXEMPLARY Attorney and Mediator in Will County cases.

Angela Henderson is the epitome of what every attorney and mediator should strive to be. She is dedicated to her clients and her cases. She diligently follows not only every aspect of the court process, but she also becomes involved in personally representing the best interests of every client who wa...lks through her door. As a guardian ad litem, she works hard to ensure the best interests of children are not lost in the courtroom shuffle. As a mediator, she settles disputes with respect, confidentiality, neutrality and diligence. She supported me every step of the way in my case and really worked hard to ensure that my needs and interests were met, all the while maintaining her professionalism. My case had the outcome I was looking for, that was really in the best interests of all involved, and I really do not think I could have had the success I had without Angela Henderson representing me. Most every court case is horrible, but Angela really worked hard to ensure it was a smooth process. She had respect for me, for the other attorneys and for the court in general. She treated me like a person and not just like a client and I really felt she cared about my case. If I ever have any other court issues I need taken care of, I would only hire Angela Henderson because she is the best of what an attorney should be.
