Delton R. Henderson

I worked with attorney Delton Henderson on a complex music/copyright matter involving long‑running royalty and ownership issues around a recording. Before I had even formally hired him, he took a surprising amount of time and care to talk through the background and possible options in my case, which ...immediately gave me confidence that I was dealing with a knowledgeable, experienced practitioner who was focused on devising solutions rather than just watching the clock. During our engagement, he continued to take the time to understand the history, explain my options clearly, and give me realistic expectations about what moving forward would look like. There was a point where I had a concern about one aspect of the work, and when I raised it, Mr. Henderson responded directly and fairly and offered a remedy that showed he takes client feedback seriously. Overall, I found him professional, straightforward, and easy to talk to, and I’d recommend him to other artists or rights‑holders who need an experienced music attorney to help them evaluate their cases and next steps.

Mr. Henderson helped tremendously in us updating our Bylaws on a pro bono basis and some of our internal policies. He provided resources to help us reference to craft the policies needed and gave a great guide for us to overhaul our bylaws. Mr. Henderson is very knowledgeable and fair while being an... enjoyable person to work with on things not everyone finds enjoyable. I would recommend him for needs related to nonprofit governance and compliance.
