Theft Charge

Attorney Henry Nguyen did an outstanding job representing me with my theft case. From the beginning he ensured I understand what was going on and understood the process. He can only help you with the fully truth. Explaining the entire situation from the beginning to the end is critical to his success.... He was able to get my case dismissed and explained to me what would occur after. Thanks to him, I can a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders and now fully understand to make better decisions. Thank you Mr Nguyen for your support through this entire case.

The BEST !!

From the start, Mr. Nguyen demonstrated competency and caring. This whole process was new to me and he was with me through the entire process explaining every step of the way, including my options. He was receptive to my questions and concerns, and even took an after hours call from me when I neede...d him. I was very glad to have Mr. Nguyen on my side. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch criminal attorney. Additionally, his office assistant Ms. Rodriquez was always pleasant and helpful. You couldn't ask for a better team!!!

Henry K Nguyen

Excellent lawyer, professional in his work ethic to the fullest extent. I highly recommend him to any one that finds themselves in a tight legal situation. Mr.Nguyen will work with anyone on their case regardless of financial situations. He is a very considerate person that goes above and beyond to m...ake sure a person's case is taken care of. Mr.Nguyen stood by my side since the beginning of my DWI case and never left me without help. His interest in my case was genuine because every time I had a doubt or a question he would gladly take the time of out his busy schedule to assure me everything about my case was going in the right direction. Most importantly, he was able to get my case dismissed and I can say without hesitation that hiring Mr.Nguyen was one of the smartest decisions I ever made. I will forever be thankful to him and his professional firm.

Henry is a Terrific Lawyer.

I hired Henry in January to handle my criminal defense case. I was new to the legal system and had absolutely no idea what direction to go. Henry was wonderful in giving me options and guiding me to the best option for my situation. From the beginning, before I even hired him, despite my apprehension... of everything that was happening, he accepted my phone calls on numerous occasions. He was extremely professional, respectful, polite, and patient when dealing with my concerns. Communication the most important aspect of the client/lawyer relationship and I felt that the communication with Henry was impeccable. He replied to my numerous text messages, phone calls, and emails promptly. I am a full-time student on a very small budget, yet Henry showed true compassion and worked with my budget to make it affordable for me. Despite the distant commute, he made it to every court hearing on time. During the court hearings, he would collaborate a strategy with me and keep me well informed of any progress that was made. I would Highly recommend Henry to anyone that is in need of a criminal defense lawyer. He is a professional, compassionate, diligent, and highly educated lawyer. I could not have asked for more.

Changed my life!

I found Henry on a Google search when trying desperately to clear up a theft case against me for a rental car I'd returned after the due date (felony charge, with a maximum sentence of 2 years). I live in Chicago and had to travel to Houston each month for court until the case was resolved. Henry was... empathetic and made me feel at ease about my case. Until the case was finally dismissed (thank you Henry!) I wasn't able to apply for a US passport to visit my husband in England. Thanks for Henry's guidance, the case was thrown out and I am able to travel freely. Henry's continued decidation to my case, thoughtful reasoning, and patience with me was invaluable. I sometimes got lost in the emotion of the case, but Henry kept me focus and was clear about my options and choices. Henry literally changed my life.
