Child custody

By far one of the best attorneys I have ever had. He saved my daughter’s life. He listened and was very compassionate. It’s extremely difficult to find the right attorney who listens and actually shows compassion to their clients. After my first consultation with him I was sold & he was ready to work...! We fought for full custody. It was granted. Mr. Hendrex & his legal team was EXCELLENT and worked extremely DILIGENT on our case. I couldn’t be more delighted. We were honored to be his clients just before he retired this year, after serving over a little over 30 years in the legal industry. When our case was done. My daughter & I showed our gratitude & sent our best regards. We will never forget him, he changed our lives only for the better. We can now live in peace & no longer have to worry anymore about our passed. This team will always put a special place in our hearts! Thank you! You all have no idea how much y’all mean to us! Respectfully, Vanessa Figueroa

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

Mr. Hendrex is the most professional attorney in town. He is so respectful, courteous and very calming during one of the most difficult times of my life. He always returned my calls and emails timely and never made me feel rushed during our meetings or telephone conferences. I would hire him again in... a heartbeat. I appreciate everything he did to make sure I wasn't taken advantage of. And to top off my wonderful experience, his staff is absolutely amazing.

Great!

James is fantastic. He fights for what is right and also very fair. He made me feel comfortable in trusting him from day 1. He is quick to respond to any questions/ concerns you may have and is as honest as lawyers can come. He will keep in touch through out your whole case and make sure you always h...ave an understanding of what is going on. Also, his prices are one of if not the best I’ve seen in town. He was recommended to me from multiple sources, and I will be doing the same for people in need going forward. Thank you James!

Too little & Too late

We hired Mr. Hendrex and was completely shocked by this whole process. First of all, he kept thinking I was someone else, not just on one occasion but several. A few times, he would go in to details about what I should do and it wasn't until a few minutes later that I realized he thought I was some...one else. He made it sound like he was there to fight for me and I've never been so disappointed for allowing myself to listen to his nonsense. We assumed he was providing the best advice, I mean, he did have a law degree. On at least 3 occasions, they had trouble finding the paperwork and I had to wait for them to find it. The end result was him telling us that the judge is going to want us to "attempt" a mediation with the other parent. During mediation is when it started getting hairy. His exact words to me were "It's highly unlikely that you will ever get custody as a father in the state of Texas. You should take as much as you can get now because if it goes in front of a judge, you may not get as much". Then the mediator started his intimidation tactics. We did not want to agree to the terms that the mother was offering so we told them it was unacceptable. The mediator told us, "Then why are you even here, it's just wasting my time". Come to find out (from our current attorney), we could have gotten custody because she had kidnapped our daughter with intention of keeping her away until 90 days passed so she could file for divorce and custody in her county (over 100 miles away). And we had undeniable proof of her intentions. Never would I hire this attorney again. My daughter is 5 years old and the mother is non-compliant on at least 5 things listed on the court orders and I'm still trying to get custody. I would have taken action but I was told by my current attorney that no attorney in town would take my case if I ever said anything.

I am sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. This does not sound like any advice that I would give and it seems odd that "no attorney in town would take my case if I ever said anything". This firm strives for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. If you would like, please contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns.
