Horrible Lawyer
Thought he would do the job to the best of his ability, because of all the great reviews I read, and felt very confident in handing him thousands of dollars to fight for us, and he thoroughly let us down. He didn't do anything he said he would, never listened to anything, and couldn't remember anythi...
Not sure who might have said such things. Sometimes a lawyer can't accomplish what a client desires. For instance, just hiring an attorney will not guarantee a criminal case can be won. The lawyer does everything possible though. If the case involves a family law issue, the decision is up to a Judge. Although lawyers work hard and believe in a client's case, the Judge may disagree. All my clients have my cell number and access to me on the weekends and holidays. I have never been accused of running my own mouth and judging others. Sometimes people just want to vent. This person said a lot of ugly things and has hurt my ratings. But this person has not given me the opportunity to respond directly so me and my staff are left wondering how we might help.

Couldn't have asked for better
I would rate him 10 stars, but we are only allowed 5. He went above and beyond in our case, in our opinion. He handled our case great. He kept in contact, answered any questions we had and was very patient when it took a while to get the other party to sign what we needed. We will use him again, and ...

Best Family Law Attorney
Our case had to deal with DHS, which is a system not a lot of people are up to date on, the ins and out process and every day ups and downs of that department. Mr. Hensley was recommended to me due to his knowledge of the system itself, as well as family law. Dealing with small children like I have i...

Jim Hensley did EXACTLY as promised
With little time to spare in a case that could very easily have gone a different direction, Jim Hensley stepped in with only days left until my trial date concerning an expungement case. He stayed in contact with me throughout the entire process and did everything in his power to insure it was comple...

Impressive
I have had terrible experiences with lawyers. I have hired two that never had time for me and never took the time to really understand what was going on. I would leave their offices feeling as if I was defeated already. Jim is exactly the opposite. When I first spoke to him, he listened to everythin...
"I endorse this lawyer. I met Jim more than 10 years ago when he was opposing counsel on a case I had. Jim was a tough, smart and committed lawyer who represented his client very well. At the same time, he was pleasant to work with, trustworthy and professional. Since that time we have had a few things together and he even served as special judge in a domestic relations case I had in another county. Jim was fair, objective and knowledgeable as a judge. Jim is a great guy and an awesome attorney who is truly committed to serving his clients."
"I have worked with Jim on several cases and would recommend him. He knows the law and is responsive to his clients' needs."
"I worked with Jim on a matter and was impressed with how courteous and responsive he was. He is a great advocate for his clients and I highly recommend him as an Arkansas attorney."
"Although I do not know Mr. Hensley personally, his weekly updates on Arkansas appellate decisions are a tremendous service to the legal community. It is clear that he understands the law and he is able to communicate his understanding in a clear, understandable, and—perhaps most importantly—engaging way."
"I endorse this lawyer. He files every pre trial motion possible and is not afraid to go to trial if he needs to."

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I am privileged to endorse Jim Henlsey as an outstanding criminal defense/family law attorney. Jim is one of the finest, if the not THE finest, attorneys of my acquaintance. He prepares thoroughly for every case and his trial skills are unparalleled. He is a credit to the Arkansas Bar."
"I've worked with Jim as an opposing counsel and as counsel for clients charged as co-defendants. I've found him to be a conscientious lawyer that cares about the quality of service he provides his clients and strives to obtain the best results possible for them."

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.
Reprimand issued in AR, 2004
updated on 01/07/2014This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
