BEST of the BEST

Rob Henson is the BEST attorney in Oklahoma! Rob was a God send when looking for an attorney for my son. I searched for a couple of days and the third time I went back to his website I knew he must be the one. He has represented my son on a situation and step son on a situation over the last 3 years... and has kept them both out on probation. He always kept us informed on what was going on, what to expect and always answered our questions. Rob is the most kindest, honest, compassionate, caring, and trustworthy attorney anyone will ever find. If you want the best representation for you or for a family member Rob is it! I cannot say Thank You enough for all he has done for me and my family. You truly are the BEST of the BEST!!

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.

Gratefull

What can I really say about Rob? I for one never have trusted any lawyers, however when I needed too, Rob eased my mind as my case developed. Rob always treated me like a human being. He will tell you the truth and trust me, sometimes the truth hits hard. Rob understood how this case affected my f...amily and focused with us in closing this matter agrresively. I cannot stress enough the importance in finding a lawyer who believes in you, really will make a difference in your case. He never judged me, he only helped and did the job we hired him for. In closing, He understands we all make mistakes and sometimes we are accused of something we did not do. He will get the job done, period. If you need a lawyer to trust, communicate, be aggresive, and really fight for you and your family's future Rob Henson is it. Do not just take my word, go meet him, talk with him and you too will see what we saw. Thank you Rob, I hope I NEVER need you again, however..... one really never knows.

"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.
