Best lawyer in Oklahoma

I highly recommend getting Rob Henson to defend you. I had another lawyer representing me for a year and a half on a case that would have put me in jail for a year. That lawyer wasn't even trying to win my case. He just kept passing the case month after month to allow the DA to gather evidence agains...t me. So I chose to get a new lawyer. I found rob on lawyers.com he had a 5 out of 5 rating so I gave him a call and he started working with me on that case and within a few months of taking over that case for me we went to a jury trial where I was proven not guilty because of rob's excellent work. He had evidence the DA thrown out and he was able to make one of the witnesses seem incompetent to be witness. During the time he was representing me on that case I received a dui, a multitude of other misdomeaner charges to go along with it as well as a felony false personation charge. Within a month of getting those charges I was smart enough to get another felines false personation charge and driving with a revoked license charge. The court through all the charges in together and I was looking at 21 years in prison but rob got a deal with the DA for a deferred sentence with only a couple of years probation. Rob also represented me in a protective order hearing and where he completely destoryed the petionors case against me getting the protective order dismissed. That's 3 different cases he represented me in and he won all 3 in my eyes because as long as you don't go to jail that's a win. So like I said before I highly recommend you get Rob Henson to represent you if you got yourself in trouble!

Expungement: Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Like a lot of people, I made a mistake when I was younger that resulted in an arrest and charges for a criminal offense. A few months ago I finally decided to do something about my record and contacted Rob V. Henson about filing a Petition for Expungement. After he had reviewed the particulars of my ...situation, Mr. Henson agreed to represent me for a very reasonable flat fee, and he gave me a timeline for the process from beginning to end. I received two certified copies of the fully executed Order of Expungement in the mail one week ago, and I couldn't be more pleased to finally have this incident behind me. Rob V. Henson made it happen.

The Best Representation Ever

I found Rob online for my spouse while I was out of state. Being very uncomfortable with the legal system already I was skeptical. But he assured me everything would be fine! He REALLY went to bat for us, showed up in court not just once But 4 times....then some OLD stuff showed up and he took care o...f everything!! I offered him more payment but he said NO....All I asked was No jail time and lowest fines! My spouse is a convicted felon , prison terms three times over...he got community service and 1000 in fines...he could have went to prison..this was a possion of CDS charge......thanks Rob

"Attorney Henson is the kind of attorney you want fighting for you. He has the legal knowledge and the willingness to go to court and fight. Too many lawyers want to just plea guilty and move on. Stay away from those guys, get an attorney like Rob who is not afraid to ruffle a few feathers when fighting for your rights."
