Trevor L Hensley

I had a recent child custody dispute with my former spouse after my visitation rights were being withheld based on an alleged violation of our court order which turned out to be erroneous. I sought legal consultation from Mr. Hensley and he provided me several options, including both retaining his se...rvices and how to proceed in pro per. Mr. Hensley basically informed me that although he was readily available to assist me, and his rates were quite reasonable, he felt that my problem was minor enough that I also might not have to spend all the money that it would cost to achieve the result I desired. I elected to proceed on my own using his advice and guidance, and the information he conveyed during our consultation proved invaluable. Ironically, I happened to run into him at the courthouse on the day I was there for my appearance and he kindly assisted me with my hearing. I was awarded custody of my children and it would not have been possible with Mr. Hensley’s advice, guidance and professional demeanor. He is a well-informed and knowledgeable family lawyer, a strong and trustworthy advocate with great courtroom demeanor who litigates with aggression, empathy and reason. I would highly recommend him for any family law issues.

Stay away from Trevor Hensley! He is a very passive and highly ineffective attorney and will drag your case out a long as he can, especially if you have known available resources for him to readily deplete. He's much more interested in convincing you to settle for much less than in fighting to get yo...u the greatest outcome; as he works much harder in getting on very friendly terms with the opposing party than in representing you and giving you the needed advice to place you in a favorable position. He thinks he's being effective by becoming "friendly" with the opposing party, when actually, he's getting played and set up for being out-witted and out-foxed. Which he was at every single turn in all of my cases. I hired Trevor to assist me in a highly contentious Divorce, DCSS Child Support and Custody Case that involve a DVRO without any conviction or charges, only allegations. And unfortunately over time it became apparent that Trevor was in way over his head and was incapable of providing adequate counsel for this degree of such highly contested magnitude. Trevor repeatedly manipulated me by giving me false expectations and then failing to deliver. He required constant reminding of the fundamental facts of the case and charged me for every minute, and then some. Then in court, he rarely argued to any degree worthy his fee. Most often, I could have presented a much better argument. Never was he even remotely aggressive. Most of the time he was very cordial, amicable and completely unconvincing. After over a year of his representation and nearly $40,000 in legal fees all I had to show for it was a mere 15% visitation time share with my two toddler boys, joint legal custody only, a non-rebutted 3044 DV case, and an unresolved DCSS Child Support and Dissolution Case. And in the end Trevor deceived me into signing him out of my cases and left me with unresolved issues in every case; while unashamedly taking my money. Every and any favorable decision I received from the courts came as a result of my own efforts before his involvement. Trevor did absolutely nothing for me except take my money and vacate a trial to rebut the Family Code 3044 presumption in lieu of getting me joint legal custody which really amounted to very little considering the cost I incurred while still keeping me bound under the presumption. The bulk of his charges were for responding to email threads that were often a result of asking me for repeat information or because of him not adequately responding to my phone calls and then not answering my initial email inquiries properly in the first place when there was no other way of communicating with him. In his emails, he would purposely respond vaguely only to generate more questions that required his additional response. He preferred email over phone calls because he could arbitrarily manipulate his charges for time. Trevor is an office attorney not a litigator, and prefers making his living sitting behind his desk over-charging for things that don't have a direct and positive impact on your case, but serve only to absolve you of your money. There were many tasks that he'd ask me to prepare for him in helping defend my case and then wouldn't even use them in my defense at the hearings or in the negotiations. However, he did insist on appearing for me on a motion in a criminal case to modify a CPO where he convinced me that he needed to be there to ensure that a then very restrictive CPO would be modified to align with the more lenient DVRO, which he at failed miserably, but still charged me over $3000 for his time. I would certainly not recommend trusting Trevor Hensley to handle any highly contested family matter. In the end, he deceptively walked away from my representation without anything resolved and without any shame or remorse. He failed miserably on so many levels with my cases it's not even funny! And actually, I think he's highly incompetent in resolving any family case when t

I called for a consultation, he was driving and asked for a quick overview. Lasted 15 minutes and he said he would get a copy of the file and review it and to schedule a second call. During the second call, it became very apparent he did not review the file or even look at it in any depth. Nothing is... worse then someone saying they want time to review something and not doing it. I would not hire Mr. Hensley as it is obvious he cant keep his word or prepare for a simple consultation as he said he would.
