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 proces...s 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 effec...tive communication. The legal recommendations and assistance I received were timely, relevant and assisted me in completing a satisfying divorce.

Outstanding service!!!

I hired Jamie Henry to represent me in my recent divorce. Jamie and her team guided me every step of the way through the process and the divorce couldn’t have gone any smoother. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. I could not be any more pleased with my decision to hire Jamie to represe...nt me.

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

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.
