James Malcolm Hendrex

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.

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 was impressed with Mr. Hendrex. I consulted 4 attorneys before I met Mr. Hendrex. After my consultation with Mr. Hendrex, I was sold. He listened to what I have to say and did not rush me, even though he had a pending trial to go to. He was compassionate and stated he does not like it when an injus...tice has been done to someone. His expertise is family law and is very knowledgeable of the the law. His rates are very reasonable. He's forthright and honest. I would recommend Mr. Hendrex as your first choice. You will not be dissapointed.
