Non-Disclosure, Traffic Ticket, & Immigration case.

Ms. Henry helped me with a Non-Disclosure case, some traffic tickets that I had pending, and currently we are waiting for a response from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Department with the decision of my application for naturalization. She handled my case in record time, we submitted my ...application early January and my interview was in late February. She coached me on how to handle the interview and the interview went flawless. I will recommend Attorney Henry to ANYONE that needs an attorney. I am very happy with her services.

Best Immigration Lawyer in the State of Texas

I would like to highly recommend the law firm of Elissa I. Henry for any immigration matter. Particularly at this time, it is extremely important to be in the hands of an expert you can trust. I had no idea who to turn to, and from the very first time I called the office to set up the initial appoint...ment, I was treated with great professionalism and a sincere desire to help. Also note, I had been to 4 others before her who were rude, divisive, incoherent, and treated me like I knew nothing. But with her, I could not have been in better hands! Working with Ms. Henry, I felt that I was with an expert who took the greatest care to ensure that the petition for my spouse had a successful outcome. Communication was great, she was so thorough in her explanation and always followed through to make sure there were no delays with my case. I will be forever grateful for her help. I am now happily reunited with my spouse. Ms. Henry you are a true professional who displays great integrity and knowledge. A shining star, so dedicated, knowledgeable and prompt. I can't thank you enough for your patience, care, and understanding.

Intelligent and fast

Elissa has reviewed and edited all of my entertainment contracts. She was quick to spot terms that wouldn't be favorable to me. I recommend her for all your business needs.

Posted by Jeneice | December 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Knowledgeable, friendly, affordable

Elissa advised me on a criminal matter regarding a friend. She worked quickly and got back to me the same day when I couldn’t find any other attorney to help. She explained the process to me and set out a plan for me to follow. She also assisted me in the beginning phase go starting my nonprofit orga...nization. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a reliable attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
