Emergency Child Custody

We contacted several lawyers for an emergency child custody order and The Henry Law Firm, P.A. was the only firm to accept the case in such an urgent time frame. After speaking with Steve for the initial consultation we knew he was the right person for our situation. Throughout the entire process, St...eve and his team were understanding, answered questions in a timely manner, explained our rights, and were available to guide us through sensitive situations. Steve represented the family in a way that eased our worries, lightened the stress load, and ultimately provided the results needed. We would recommend The Henry Law Firm, P.A. for any family law needs in the Overland Park, KS area.

Excellent service, extremely knowledgable

Steve has done an excellent job of laying out expectations and defining a legal strategy. I've learned the value of a partnering with a strong attorney as opposed to considering an attorney as someone you hire to drive an outcome. Steve knows the laws in his field, understands the players and can o...utline a strategy for a successful outcome. I highly recommend Steve if you're looking for quality service.

THE HENRY LAW FIRM, P.A.

Over a year a ago, I required child support representation. After reviewing my case, two separate high priced attorneys informed me that that my initial settlement was so lopsided that they would not take my case. Fortunately, I contacted Attorney Steve Henry online. After reviewing my case, he al...so reiterated that my child support settlement was lopsided, but also said that all was not lost. He informed me that his partner, Attorney Kyle Barscewski would be willing to take my case, as long as I understood that there was only a 50% chance of revising the child support settlement. I have found Steve, Kyle and Lisa Rodriguez (Legal Assistant) to be the consummate professionals who have a solid grasp of the area of law that they practice (child support, marital separation agreement, parenting plan and child custody). In my case, Kyle made a very scholarly and detailed argument on my behalf that impressed Judge Keven M.P. O’Grady and his clerk. The case took exactly a year and I ended up with a more reasonable child support settlement. 

I am very fortunate to have The Henry Law Firm, P.A. in my corner. They are truly a professional service firm. During business hours, the phone was always answered, detailed periodic emails kept me informed, finer points of the law were patiently and clearly explained. Most of our communication was via email, but phone or video chat were also used. In the future, if the need for an attorney arises The Henry Law Firm, P.A. are a phone call away. The mental anguish and financial cost of going to court, could have simply been avoided by initially hiring the right attorney. If you can’t settle out of court amicably, get an excellent attorney! As the old FRAM commercial used to say, “You can pay me now, or pay me later”. Steve, Kyle and Lisa thank you very much for all your hard work in representing my family and myself.

Thank you for your thoughtful and kind words of endorsement. Your review is quite appreciated. ** All potential clients should understand that one client’s successful result is no guarantee of achieving the same result in a different case. Each client's case is reviewed and analyzed on its own unique set of facts and circumstances. No two cases are exactly identical.

The Best!!

Any family legal matters, like child custody or navigating a parenting plan, are not often a pleasant experience. It can be an extreme rollercoaster of emotions. It’s imperative to have legal support that can help you stay balanced and centered so you make decisions that are grounded instead of impul...sive and rash. Steve Henry is not only an incredible lawyer, but he is a wonderful man to know. He is heart centered yet undeniably talented and well experienced in legal matters, specifically family law services. I can’t express enough how much I support and encourage others to consider The Henry Law Firm, P.A. They are a rare find.

Couldn't ask for a better family lawyer.

Having a particularly difficult and ongoing situation, I have been with Steve since 2009. He came highly recommended by another family law attorney. He is extremely professional, incredibly thorough and very knowledgeable in family law. He is very easy to contact and has always responded very prom...ptly. Steve truly feels like your partner in all you go through in family court.
