Very professional!

Mr Rob is a very professional, clean cut guy that knows the law very well and will do what it takes. My case got extended and dragged out and ended up being a mess and Mr Rob never added any more fees than what he told me from the start (which was a great price to begin with). He is very respected by... the judges and knows the system very well. I will definitely continue to handle my legal matters through Mr Rob.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!

Mr. Henson defended my niece who was falsely accused. He left no stone unturned as he uncovered the truth and prepared for trial. Because of his extensive knowledge and confidence he was able to get the charges dismissed that very first day of trial! The first time I spoke with Mr. Henson was by... phone when my niece had a warrant out for her arrest. Mr. Henson told us exactly what we should do and explained how to take the steps we needed to take. He wasn't even our attorney yet and he was so very helpful and caring. We were in the best hands from that very first phone call to the day the charges were dismissed. I highly recommend Mr. Henson as a defense attorney. It's our opinion that he is the very best!

Awesome attorney

I recently found myself in need of an attorney, so I started looking online and found Rob Henson. He had great reviews so I called and immediately felt like he genuinely cared about my case, and he talked to me like we had known each other for years, and just put my nerves and anxiety at ease. He let... me make payments over the months he represented me which really helped us. He was able to get one of my cases completely dismissed and without him I would have never known that was even a possibility. He was always very easy to get in contact with and had answers to all my questions. I would definitely recommend Rob to anybody in need of an attorney!! He really is an amazing attorney

Excellent

Rob made my tough situation easier! He helped me navigate the court system (I had no clue without him.) I appreciated his patience with my questions and that he was easy to get in contact with.

Greatest Attorney EVER!!!

In 2010, I made a bad choice in my life and was charged with Felony Poss. of MJ w/ Intent. After consulting with many lawyers, I met Mr. Henson. He was very kind and straight forward. I loved the fact that he listened to every bit of information and answered all questions promptly, with confidence, a...nd not candy coated. His retainer fee was also very affordable. This is why I chose him. Throughout my trial process, everything was explained in great detail if I didn't understand something. He also holds great conversations with his clients outside the courtroom as well. Mr. Henson really makes you feel like, regardless of his workload, he is there for you and only you, which is extremely satisfying for a client. He is very prompt in returning phone calls after messages are left for him. Mr. Henson handled my case from 2010 - 2015 with great success and my charge was eventually expunged. I'm so happy with my decision of choosing Mr. Henson. He will continue to handle my case until the arrest record is expunged in the future. I would highly recommend Rob Henson to anyone facing criminal charges in Tulsa and surrounding areas. What a great lawyer and friend. Thank you Mr. Henson for all of your help! You have truly helped guided me and gave me confidence to make it through a very dark time in my life, and I am very appreciative of that.

"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."
