The best!

I was in a car accident a couple months ago when my truck lost steering around a turn. I hit four vehicles and was arrested for a FSGI (failure to stop and give info.) Along with a DUI. I blew a .078 which wouldn't be a big deal if I wasn't 20! Now that I've told my story I can tell you the results. ...Cynthia got all charges dismissed! No probation, no court cost, and the best part...NO restitution! Nothing! I recommend Cynthia Henley to anybody who wants to get off on charges!!!

It was an unfortunate accident in the parking lot of client's apartment. He went up twice to his apartment before police came - he arguably was guilty of FSGI but in equity he was not. As for the DUI, officers told him if he blew under the legal limit, he would not get a DWI. (Difference between being 21 and under in Texas.) He blew under - barely. Problem was, he was the age of no tolerance. I got the prosecutor to keep the officer's promise with regard to the DUI. Took a few resets, but I was glad to help this young man out of trouble as I believe he has a very bright future.

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.

"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."

"I have the pleasure of having Cynthia Henley as my designated mentor. I wouldn't be half the lawyer I am today without Cynthia's mentoring and guidance. She is a true believer who fights extremely hard for her clients. She knows how to beat cases and she routinely gets dismissals. I can't recommend Cynthia enough for you to hire her as your lawyer!"
