Exceptional Lawyer

Cynthia Henley is an exceptional lawyer that is extremely knowledgeable. I feel fortunate and bless to have her represent me. If you’re looking for a lawyer that always works hard on your behalf I highly recommend Cynthia.

This client was charged with sexually assaulting his (step) granddaughter. We were in trial on this case for 2 1/2 weeks! The prosecutor pulled out all stops in an attempt to get a conviction, including failing to disclose required evidence & other complicated misbehaviors. Despite those hurdles, we had a great jury (except for 2 who had been dishonest.) The jury hung, &, realizing they could never get a conviction, the State dismissed the case. Hopes are that the family can heal & reconnect. Hard trial but wonderfully cooperative client with supportive friends and wife. While these types of cases are emotionally & factually difficult, I am very good at them, and at getting positive results.

Heard all the Bad Lawyer Jokes?

Cynthia is the exception. She is hardworking, personable and a careing lawyer. Cynthia doesn't just work for you, she works with you. Criminal charges had been filed against me. After listening to what I had been charged with and talking with me at length, she took my case. Because of her dedication ...to my case the truth was heard and the jury agreed. Cynthia is highly recommened by myself, my family and my friends..Thank you once again Cynthia.

Cynthia's role in my son's success story

Cynthia started representing my son when he was 16 years old. He started down a bad path with the use of steroids and eventually it led to other addictions. One thing led to another, all bad, but Cynthia was there to help us all of the way. Through her knowledge and her contacts with the bench, DA...s, and the such, she always got our son the best justice and addiction help that he could receive. Her fees were always very reasonable and she worked with us on financing. Two weeks ago my son graduated from a major university with a 4.0 average and was ranked number 1 out of 1271 graduates. He is going into the counseling profession to try to help others. Without Cynthia's help, he would be incarcerated in Huntsville rather than graduating from a university in Huntsville with a 4.0 average!

This client is very special. He had so much talent it was a shame to see him caught up in his addictions, which led him to the criminal justice system. I am so proud to have had the opportunity to represent him. He will be important in so many lives! He still calls on occasion to thank me, and it really helps boost my continued desire to help people. He also had the awesome support of his family. Congratulations to him for overcoming the obstacles to be so outstanding!

Cynthia Henley/Criminal Defense Lawyer

I first hired Ms. Henley to defend me in a DWI case about 20 Yrs. ago. My case was her first for a DWI charge as an attorney. She was absolutely amazing the way she handled the trail in which 7 HPD's testified agains me. She went on to win the case that was decided by a jury and have recommended her ...to everyone that I know since.

We did get a not guilty. He was actually my second ever trial. My first was a justice of the peace trial that began at 8 p.m. & went until 3 a.m. the night before this client's case began! True to his word, this client has referred numerous friends to me over the year & we have remained in contact. I believed in him, and we got a just verdict.

Former Client Review

I, Harold Griffith was a former client of mrs. Henley's. I have never experienced such great treatment. She kept me informed on any and everything, not only pleas but suggested options. I truly felt as if Mrs. Henley was not just only my lawyer, but someone who cares, listens, and is very optimistic.... I highly recommend her and her services. she is very professional and knows the law to the fullest extent. Like I said, she is very professional and I will definately refer her to anyone in need of great representation! -Harold Griffith-

Thanks, Harold. I want to point out that I took Harold as an appointed case. His positive attitude reminded me that everyone, even those with priors & whom outsiders might look down upon, deserve a break & a defense. Harold is a very nice person who got caught up in the system long ago & has had a hard time because of that. Thanks for the recommendation, Harold. It was a pleasure representing you.

"Cynthia is a force to be reckoned with. Her knowledge of the law and processes makes her methods and strategies second to none. Her presence in the courtroom places the State's prosecutors on edge, because Cynthia will take the time to guide less experienced advocates through the smoke of prosecution. One would do well choosing Cynthia to be their voice."
