Straight Shooter
Ryan is personable, a real straight shooter, timely in his endeavors with reasonable rates and he always does his due dilligence therefor the cost is worth it. My wife and I hired him for a custody case and I recently consulted him regarding a criminal case, both encounters with satisfactory result. With a broad field of legal knowledge, I would recommend Ryan to anyone in need of legal council.

Good guy
Ryan is honest, its hard to take but he will be upfront with you and tell you what he thinks he can and cant do. Of course its up to the judge but Ryan will do what he says he will do. I will call him again if i need another lawyer.

Combat veteran's point of view.
Mr. Henson was on top of everything in my case. He always keep me well informed about what was going on and showed personal caring for me. I was never miss lead or unaware of the situations that were being played out. He stood strong in the court room and I always felt that he was in charge and respected by the judge. Highly knowledgeable about criminal law... In closing, I would never use anyone else to protect my rights and families from the courts than Ryan P Henson. Semper Fi...
