Overpriced Representation with Poor Results

I do not recommend Robbie Hendricks as an attorney based on my personal experience. I found that he lacked the skill to handle my case effectively. He overbilled, including charging me twice for a motion that had to be redone due to his own mistake. During my appeal, he included moot arguments wit...hout informing me of their legal irrelevance, and I later learned some of the facts he included were legally incorrect — which undermined the case. After consulting with other attorneys, I was told the fee I paid for the appeal was far above standard. Throughout the process, Mr. Hendricks threatened to withdraw at highly vulnerable times, which added significant stress. Even during financial hardship, he continued to pressure me for payments. Overall, I did not feel supported or well-represented, and the experience made a difficult situation much worse.

Unparalleled Advocacy: An Experienced Attorney Who Exemplifies Professionalism and Compassion - I Recommend Him Wholeheartedly

I can not express enough gratitude for Robbie Hendricks, my family law attorney at State 48 Law Firm. He has been an invaluable advocate for my children and me since I retained him in 2017. The thought of where we would be today without his expertise and support is truly terrifying. Robbie's unwaveri...ng commitment to our case gives me peace of mind that is simply priceless. Robbie assisted me in protecting my children on 3 separate major occasions. I want to ensure my review does justice to his exceptional service. As someone who meticulously researches everything, I can confidently say that he stood out significantly among the attorneys I consulted before choosing him. Robbie's utmost professionalism, dedication to detail, organization, and preparation is unmatched. What truly sets Robbie apart is his genuine care for clients and the issues that matter most. He took the time to understand my unique circumstances and the intricacies of my case. Sadly, I know a lot of cases do not turn out as well as mine. My children will always be protected now because of Robbie's perseverance and the profound gratitude and relief I feel knowing that is immeasurable. During what was undoubtedly the most stressful time in my life, Robbie helped me navigate my fears and uncertainties with compassion and expertise. His support and guidance eased my worries immensely, allowing me to focus on what matters most—my children. While many attorneys I spoke with prior seemed resigned to standard custody arrangements no matter what, Robbie approached my case with a determination to advocate fiercely for my children’s best interests. One standout strategy was having me create a timeline of all relevant events, which not only clarified our case but also allowed him to develop a tailored game plan. Each time we worked together, he far exceeded my expectations. Navigating the complexities of family law can be such an overwhelming experience. You need someone who is not only skilled in trial preparation and evidence presentation but also someone who has a deep understanding of effective legal strategies. Robbie embodies all these qualities and more. Robbie is not only an exceptional advocate in court, but he is also a very experienced litigator. During trial, Robbie exhibited an unequaled level of thoroughness in his cross-examination of witnesses. He made sure to effectively utilize the time we were given, and he got in as much to support my position as possible. For each separate trial, Robbie did an extraordinary job representing my case. In addition, his knowledge of the most thorough and experienced professionals to utilize in the field further strengthened our position in court. I was especially impressed by Robbie's dedication, often working late on Fridays and even on his days off to ensure my case received the attention it needed. This level of commitment truly reflects his passion for helping clients. Finally, I want to commend the entire staff—from Stephen Vincent (co counsel) to the front office assistants (Dana and Kate) to their paralegal (Amanda) and billing department (Erin) ... every member of their team was kind, caring, and a pleasure to work with. Their professionalism and support made the entire process much smoother and more comforting. I wholeheartedly recommend Robbie Hendricks at State 48 Law Firm to anyone seeking family law representation. His expertise, dedication, and genuine compassion make him an unparalleled advocate.

Gun for Hire

Mr. Robbie Hendricks was highly recommended by another lawyer. From the first time, I spoke via telephone with Mr. Hendricks, he was professional and polite. Mr. Hendricks appeared to be knowledgeable and calm, never missing a beat. His staff is also to be highly commended. I felt as if I was in ...good hands. I was always kept in the loop. Staff was kind and compassionate. Divorce proceeded in a timely manner. Case was resolved in reasonable time. Thank you ever so much.

Amazing Family Law Attorney

There simply aren’t enough words to express how grateful and thankful my husband and I are to have Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Vincent as our Family Court Attorney team. From planning to implementing, their experience in cases like ours is unmatched. They are professional, honest, kind, communicative, unde...rstanding and informative. We always feel like a priority, and they always made us feel like they were with us on this journey and not just passengers; we never felt like just another case used for reoccurring billing. We have always felt like we are a team. They shared their knowledge and experiences in family law. We came up with strategies and planned together. They guided us for the best possible outcome with no false promises or false expectations. Just straight facts and truths. They understand complex cases. Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Vincent are truly the dynamic duo! Thanks to Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Vincent my husband was given full physical and legal custody of his son with biological Mother only being allowed supervised visits. We will continue to keep Mr. Hendricks and his team on retainer until our son graduates high school. We feel safe knowing Mr. Hendricks is our attorney and our safety net; and if for some unforeseen circumstance we must go back to family court, we know we are in good hands. I have learned Family Court is a complicated and complex mess and custody battles are very emotional. It helps to have very knowledgeable, caring and honest attorneys like Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Vincent. We cannot brag about them enough. Because of them we finally have peace! Our journey: * September of 2015, we were told about Mr. Hendricks while at a BBQ from someone who overheard my husband and I expressing the difficulties and frustrations we were having with my husband’s ex-girlfriend (baby mama) and our then attorney to a friend of ours. This woman explained she had just won custody of her child after a contentious divorce and child custody battle. She raved about her attorney and provided us with his name and contact information. We were worried and confused about switching attorneys after 6 years. At the same time, we had serious concerns about staying with the same attorney with little to no real results to help protect my husband’s child; and to end the relentless harassment from his ex-girlfriend with false police calls/reports , harassment calls and emails to employers, friends and family members, restraining orders obtained through blatant lies with not a single proof of evidence. The reality is, most judges hand out protection orders like free lollipops at a doctor’s office. The worst part of all of this was the torture and harassment the trauma my innocent stepson had to endure. No child should ever have to go through that. To this woman I only met once back in 2015, a BIG THANK YOU wherever you are. * February of 2016, four months after that BBQ, my Husband and I met with Robbie Hendricks and Stephen Vincent. As we walked out of their office lobby, we both knew we had finally found our attorney team. It should be noted that, my husband was with his original attorney from February 2009 to February 2016. Finding a new attorney was a very frustrating task, until our meeting with Mr. Hendricks and Mr. Vincent. * February 2017 My Husband was awarded Final Legal decision with no change in the 50/50 physical custody. * September 2018 My husband was awarded temporary full Physical custody with biological Mother having supervised visits. * May 2019 My husband was awarded full physical custody and orders that clarified he had been awarded full legal custody and biological Mother was given supervised visits.
