Outstanding Service

My case was handled in a fast professional manner in record time. I can not say enough good things about Ms. Henley and her style of work. Very causual and relaxed which helped during a very trying time. Always pick an attorney who knows the system. Ms. Henley does know the system and makes it work... for you.

Very helpful answer

Thank you so much for your prompt answer to my question about a teen-age granddaughter who won't go to school. Obviously, you are knowledgeable in this area and I very much appreciate you taking the time to respond to me online.

I enjoy answering AVVO questions as I feel that there are many people who either cannot afford a lawyer or have questions that do not require they hire a lawyer but just need a few minutes of someone's time. My parents gave me the opportunity to be able to go to law school and God gave me the ability to help. Thank you for writing this nice posting. You did not have to do it. : )

Excellent Representation! Superb courtroom negotiator! Saved my ***!

I faced a serious legal problem with the potential of lengthy jail time as a result of an issue that occurred over 6 years ago. After getting the run-around from several attorneys, I found Cynthia Henley on AVVO and she immediately came to my rescue. She got the charges reduced and I did not have t...o serve any time. She was understanding, compassionate and effective. And affordable. I would highly recommend her and would use her again if faced with legal problems.

This man had tried his best to handle his situation during his incarceration on other matters but got the runaround. I appreciated the opportunity to work on his case to bring this chapter of his life to a close as he moved on to the wonderful plans he had. He is a hard working person who just needed the chance to begin anew. He deserved it.

Quite possibly the most knowldgeable, caring lawyer in Texas

Cynthia believes in rehabilitation, knows the system, offers advice on confusing situations, and is an absolute godsend. When the lawyer for my father started slacking I came to Avvo for advice. She provided a through answer to the question, responded to a very long email I sent, and took the time to... explain to me the ins and outs of the case, as well as recommend ways to ensure the best possible outcome. I was absolutely blown away by her kindness and helpfulness. I won't hesitate to recommend Cynthia to anyone who needs legal defense in Harris County. She's one of a kind!

Very nice comment and I appreciate it. I enjoy answering questions for people God gave me the opportunity to help via the education my parents paid for, and I hope that I am serving Him by helping others.

DISMISSED!!

i called and called many attorneys in my search for representation, i only got 1 to call me back, or answer any of my questions concerning what should i expect in court; Cynthia Henley. She answered my questions with a peaceful and knowledgeable tone in her voice assuring me of my expectations. i s...hortly after, went to her office to meet with her, still with out having retainment set, we talked and ultimately decided to go with Cynthia as my council. She stayed on top of new laws concerning my case, keeping me updated every step of the way!! she was like a firecracker, very deliberate and explosive in the courtroom, getting the things that she needed done, and done fast!! without going into detail of my case she told me when we first met that i was in the hardest courtroom in the world, but not to worry, she was going to do everything in her power to keep me protected from having to go to jail. i am so blessed to have Cynthia represent me, she exceeded all expectations of what an amazing attorney should be!! this morning i got a call from her saying that things were over, and i didn't have to worry about showing up for court again (which has stretched out over a 5 month period), because my case got "no-billed". thanks to the hard work Cynthia did i can breathe a sigh of relief, and move forward with my life!! i highly recommend Cynthia, she knows exactly what she is doing and does it extremely well!! Cynthia worked with me from start to finish!! Thank you so much!!

I call this gentleman a kid because he is so much younger than me but he is really a responsible young man who has had many tribulations to overcome, and overcome them he has. He has a good heart and he worked with me doing as I requested. His also has a wonderfully supported family - a plus in any case.
