Consultation for the formation of a Non-Profit

I had the delight of getting to speak to Delton regarding the formation of my non-profit organization. He is the kind of professional that goes above and beyond for his clients and that is exactly the kind of person I always look to work with. He took the time and energy to be extremely thorough in a...nswering all of my questions. I am absolutely looking forward to working with him as we move further along with my non-profit.

Review of Delton R. Henderson

I joined the California Lawyers for the Arts (a non-profit for actors, artists, musicians, etc.) to help me find someone to do a living trust for me. Delton was one of the lawyers on the list supplied. We spoke and based on that discussion I decided to hire him to help change my 30+ year old will ...to a trust. He was very thorough and walked me through all aspects of the change - from my wanting to take care of my 5 siblings, cats, dogs, horse, parakeets and husband to information on burials and bank accounts.

Excellent and Informed Lawyer

Delton was a huge help to me with questions I had about a contract. He came on the call having thoroughly read the contract itself and some email exchanges I had with the party offering the contract. He clearly addressed the issues I had with the contract terms, and went the extra mile to also help m...e research the background of the party offering the contract. He also suggested some extremely helpful steps for me for the future. He was polite, informed and patient. He was a good listener and was responsive to all my questions and concerns. And he seemed to have an excellent grasp of contract law in California. I was grateful to have had the chance to consult with him.

Estate planning / Real Estate

I originally selected Attorney Delton R. Henderson to assist in selling an inherited residential property. After several months, I remain impressed with his ability to work quickly and thoroughly. The scope of legal services that were provided include coordination with a myriad of government a...gencies and private companies as well as dealing with a neighboring property owner who had been using our land as his own for years. Attorney Henderson's enthusiasm, support and guidance made this a successful process. It is for these reasons that Attorney Henderson continues to be my choice for legal assistance.

Art sale contract - Definitely recommend!

Delton was a pleasure to work with. We were connected through California Lawyers for the Arts to work on a unique artist sale contract. Delton has extensive knowledge in the field, had valuable historical precedent insight, and really covered all the bases necessary to create a strong document that w...ill stand the test of time. He also has a great sense of humor :) Thank you again for your help!

Avvo Rating

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.
