Unprepared & Disorganized

Even though the case was simple, Ms. Henderson was not prepared. Information that should have been researched prior to the hearing, we had to locate on the fly during the hearing. Which also resulted in not having the appropriate time to consider the full ramification of each decision. Years later ...I am still dealing with bad decisions made by my attorney during this hearing. In addition, my case was negatively affected due to several incidents of limited/poor communication before and after the hearing. Lastly, not including legal fees, over ~18K was lost due to Ms. Henderson's limited understanding of the law and her ability to apply it properly.

Hire her!!!

Hiring Mellainise was truly the best decision I could have made for my Family Law case. She knows her laws/codes and refers to them in her argument as she fights for the best outcome. She’s confident, knowledgeable, Upstanding and she will fight tooth and nail for the best interest of her client(s). ...You can confidently leave your case in her hands and sleep like a baby without stress or worry. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that needs representation that comes with a peace of mind.

Research before hiring. Not the sharpest tack in the bunch.

Mellannise Henderson Love was recommended to my family by another family law attorney. She wasn't sure if Henderson Love could accept a civil suit against a school district but assured us she could refer us to the correct personnel. We hired Henderson Love not knowing she was accepting a case well ...beyond her level of expertise. Poor communication, misses deadlines, files documents late and not very organized. She proved to many people that had the opportunity to review my grievance with the State Bar of Texas as well as my law suit that she is a dishonest and incompetent lawyer. Because she did enough to get by I was not able to file a malpractice suit but it was proven that she provided inadequate service. Her behavior didn't warrant a sanction by the State Bar of Texas but they agreed she did not perform at a professional level. If you have a big civil suit please seek more experienced legal assistance because Henderson-Love is accepting cases beyond her level of expertise to make money.
