This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Familiar with Carlos' work

I have witnessed Mr. Henry in action and received his advice on a variety of issues. Mr. Henry is literally one of the top attorneys I have ever met. A five-star rating describes Mr. Henry's services very accurately - excellent! He is very adept in the practice of law and gets the best possible outco...me out of each case. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Henry. I would put my freedom in Mr. Henry's hands under any circumstances.

I wish he was a public defender

Carlos is an excellent attorney. He actually cares for his client and has the knowledge and skills to actually fight for them. I work in the courthouse and see defense counsel sell out their client daily to be friendly with the prosecution or because they are just lazy. Carlos is not one of those. Ev...ery defendant deserves Carlos or someone like him to represent them.

Reduced to Misdemeanor

Facing serious charges from the worst night of my life. Never dealt with criminal justice system, let alone Chickasaw Nation that just started doing significant amount of cases. Mr. Henry was a Chickasaw Nation court expert and seemed to know all the lawyers on both sides of the aisle and all the j...udges. Almost like a celebrity. We found out later that he is the Chickasaw Nation drug court defense lawyer too. He seemed very busy but kept in touch and most importantly got the felony dismissed and a wonderful no jail misdemeanor....Great Lawyering!

CASE DISMISSED

DA offering 3years in jail. Mr. Henry hired, did proper legwork, case dismissed. If that's not 5 star worthy I'm not sure what is. No bull, no vague answers, just tells it like it is. If you want a babysitter he is not the guy. If you want a shark to get your best outcome hire him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
