Jamie has always been there when I needed her. She is highly knowledgeable, stayed on top of things and helped me fully understand the process. I'm very happy with the results of my divorce. I got what I wanted. She us simply the best!
Excellent Lawyer! I’d give her 6 stars if they’d let me.
Jamie took my case when other lawyers in town told me I didn’t have a chance because of my separation agreement in place. She was honest, direct, and very knowledgeable about the law. Her and her team were always quick to respond and gave me great advice and direction.

15 years
Ms. Henry was admitted to the Nevada Bar in 2009. After three years as an associate in a law firm, she opened her own family law practice. In 2013, Ms. Henry was offered a contract through Douglas County, Nevada as an indigent defense attorney. She now practices both family law and criminal defense. As a sole practitioner, Ms. Henry is involved with the full spectrum of client representation, including drafting and prosecution of pre and post-judgment motions, conducting and managing discovery, negotiation and drafting of final agreements, trial preparation, and the examination of witnesses at trial.
Ms. Henry is a zealous and compassionate advocate who cares for her clients. She makes herself available to her staff, her clients and her colleagues. She is passionate, sensitive, and makes certain that each of her clients is well-informed and that she obtains the best outcome possible.
Recently, Ms. Henry was informed that she was selected to receive this year's prestigious TOP 10 UNDER 40 Attorney Award for the State of Nevada by the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys (NAFLA).
The National Academy of Family Law Attorneys is an organization devoted to recognizing the top family law attorneys in the Nation. With more than a million attorneys in the United States, choosing the best lawyer is difficult. However, through a stringent selection process, NAFLA awards the best family law attorneys in each state with its most prestigious honor of being named Top 10. The very few attorneys (less than 1 percent) that are good enough to make the list have demonstrated an extraordinary amount of knowledge, skill, experience, expertise and success in their practice of family law.
Ms. Henry's expertise, commitment and countless hours spent mastering family law have earned her this significant honor.

Stop looking - Hire Jamie....
Family Law is full of "lawyers". Finding the right one can be more then a challenge. Don't look any further then Jamie.
I had a very complicated divorce due to the other party, despite every effort on the other parties part to drag out and fight to get more than was fair at every step, the process was smooth with Jamie, and in almost every instance of the legal games the other lawyer played, things always went in my favor.
As a father/male you almost always judged the wrongdoer, and kids usually end up with mom. When I saw my kids were suffering we got one of the best children's/teen Psychiatrists in Reno to see my youngest who was having exception trouble. Jame knew who to turn to at every step to help my girls.
In my case the kids wanted to live with me, and that's just what happened.
Divorces can be very difficult or they can be nice and smooth, but in my case, what was both difficult, was also smooth with Jamie. I had very difficult divorce, yet it was an absolutely smooth process. In the end we did better then what we had initially offered at the onset of the proceedings.

Absolutely the BEST lawyer Reno has!
I am blessed to have found Jamie Henry! She was so helpful through my case. Her knowledge and expertise was outstanding and I have recommended her to so many! I cannot thank her enough for her hard work and dedication to my case. She was there whenever I had questions and walked me through the process step-by-step. I was so anxious and she relieved my nerves through the entire process. She was so impressive in the courtroom! Her staff is beyond helpful as well! Thank you Jamie Henry for all you have done for me and my family! Thank you for being morally sound!

Well worth the time and money with this group!
Best attorney in this area hands down! It is already hard enough when you're going through a divorce. And lawyer shopping is awful! But Jamie and her group made things so much easier. They are calming, and know the law and process inside and out. They were always three steps ahead in my divorce. To find an attorney that ACTUALLY cares about you and what happens to your life after the divorce is rare. Calls are returned promptly and advise is spot on! Paperwork was flawless and attention to detail was even more impressive. If you are shopping for a lawyer then STOP! This is your group. I'm picky and hard headed and hard to please! These folks assured me every step of the way. I always knew my rights, and always knew my options. She did what was good for ME, and my children. This is important as this process is for the future and possibly your children's future. I wouldn't think twice about choosing her. And her paralegal is always in contact so you're never in the dark! (She's awesome) If you are going to spend your hard earned money then choose wisely. You cannot go wrong with this outfit! Thanks Jamie!

Strongly recommend and will use again if needed.
Jamie Henry and her legal team are AMAZING. I would highly recommend her and will be using her if I ever need further assistance in the future. When I came to Jamie for help with my divorce, it was very apparent that I and my needs were a priority. Through the entire process there was clear and effective communication. The legal recommendations and assistance I received were timely, relevant and assisted me in completing a satisfying divorce.

Great start!
The paralegal emailed me within 48 hours, and I called and spoke to her within an hour. She was very professional, asked pertinent questions, listened well and explained the process for engagement. A call with the attorney was scheduled and I received an intake form right away. I feel optimistic that Ms. Henry can help me, and I look forward

She wins, even when the facts are stacked against you!
Jamie represented me in a criminal case several years ago and got all of my charges dropped. Last month we talked to her about representing my boyfriend in a child support case in Carson City. She was really nice and took the case pro bono. Since the District Attorney wouldn’t negotiate, Jamie requested a hearing in front of the Judge. We got a result that I never thought could happen. She also got my boyfriend’s license reinstated so he wouldn’t lose his job. The case went really fast and it felt good to always know what was happening with our case and what could happen at the hearing (good and bad). She communicated regularly through telephone, text and email. I appreciate everything she did for us.

Great Choice!
Hiring Jaime Henry and her staff to handle my case was the best decision I ever made. She was very knowledgeable and it was obvious she had a solid working relationship with the court and district attorney's office. Unlike other reviewers, i never had a problem with communications, either she or her assistant, Carmen, responded in a timely manner and took the time to answer any questions I had. (Early mornings and emails were best for contact). I highly recommend her law office.

Great Attorney
Jamie helped me with a custody change issue that should have been a one day court mediation, but turned into a nine month long battle of wills. Jamie stayed cool, collected and on track through what seemed like an endless barrage of texts, e-mails and phone calls from the opposition. Her non-reactive, limited, and effective responses kept the situation sane, on track and productive. She kept the respect of the court and the judge throughout. I would not hesitate to trust her with any legal issues that may arise in my future and feel confident to recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who would ask my opinion.

Absolutely wonderful, professional service!
Jamie helped us in dealing with my wife's ex-husband in a custody battle and in subsequent hearings for his contempt of court. In every case we prevailed and she made an otherwise frightening process, straightforward and comfortable for us. She is honest and upfront about each situation and what you should reasonably expect from the outcome. It sure was nice to walk into the court room without apprehension and fear, Jamie exudes confidence and it's contagious!
We recommend her to everyone we know.

Poised and Professional
I was recently appointed Ms. Jamie Henry as a defense attorney in a criminal case in Lake Tahoe. She has an extremely competent staff and made me feel as if I was her most important client. Even though I live a very long way from where court was being held I felt like I was there every step of the way. I would highly recommend her for any legal matter big or small. She knows the players and knows the game. If anything were to happen in the future it would be easy for me to decide who to retain as my attorney. I would hire Ms. Henry. As a southerner I pride myself on being able to tell people's character and trying to take the moral high ground in all my affairs. Ms Henry exemplifies everything I've been thought in Southern tradition and has a west coast work ethic. She will work tirelessly to make sure justice is accomplished.

Absolutely the best...
Living out of state and away from my daughter is very difficult to begin with. When an issue arose and we needed help, I am very grateful we found Jamie Henry. Her communication was excellent, she always took our calls and explained everything step by step. She had my daughter's best interest at heart throughout the entire process. She was kind and caring, helped calm her fears when I could not be there. Jamie was professional, answered all of our questions and handled things quickly. She fought for the best possible outcome and we received it. I can never thank her enough.

Quick, Responsive with my divorce
Jamie was incredibly helpful and responsive in helping me to complete a divorce in Nevada even though I currently live in another state. She was knowledgeable about the laws in Nevada related to divorce and worked to get the necessary paperwork signed by my ex husband, who is a Nevada resident, without needing much from me. She was very always willing to answer any questions and provided me with the necessary information when needed.

Jaime , wow! Your work has literally blown me away...
I was arrested May 2013 for two charges .. one a misdemeanor and one felony .. I had gotten arrested with my cousin who had the same charges as well.. Jaime was my public defender, I am from New Jersey.. and at the time of my arrest I was in a casino out in Reno Nevada.. at that time I lived in las Vegas... I was in jail for 8day's for something I didnt do, I was harrased by an asian guy and I ended up gettin arrested he was let free.. when I spoke to Jaime at the time of me being incarcerated I told her the truth she said dont worry we will get this solved... I got released on day 8 and I had court for a 2nd time that same week.. I met Jaime in person that day of court she was pleasant, humble, very honest, truthful and I saw she was a very well prepared lawyer. She represented me before a judge and faught the case for me... she accomplished to.get the asian guy arrested for what he had done to me.. he had no bail.. it took a year, a year of back a forth.. she was so great she didnt even need me to present myself after the time I went and actually met Jaime..i had flights booked and everything and she told me tk cancel it that she would handle it all.. I had alot of faith for her as wel as my rights..I had to fight for my freedom..and with the help.of Jaime my record got cleaned.. she didnt let me down.. after a year of hard work and loyalty I'm glad to.say its all because of her that I am out my case is closed and she solved both cases, my cousins as well as mine.
Thank you so much Jaime
Your work, YOU are appreciated.
They need more lawyers like you all around this world

On top of it!
I retained Jamie with little notice to help with terminating the parental rights of my children's father. I had received the consents to terminate, signed by him, in the mail and came to Jamie to take care of the legal process. I had a hard time connecting with Jamie by telephone because of our conflicting schedules. At the hearing, my children's father showed up and "changed his mind." Even with our minimal time to prepare together, Jamie was on top of all the issues and truly fought for my children. It was obvious that she had received my messages and had thoroughly reviewed all the information I provided to her. Although the termination was not granted by the Court, Jamie made sure that the order issued by the Court protected my children as much as possible.
