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 req...uested 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-react...ive, 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.

Jamie believed in me

She is very important to me. She worked very hard for me in my criminal case and I am very happy with the things she did for me. I would recommend her to everyone.
