RECOMMEND HENRY'S SERVICE TO ALL!

I'm a Canadian who was traveling in the USA. I was stopped by a trooper on the HWY for apparently speeding. The Trooper, completely degraded me, accused me of dealing illegal drugs, and questioned my ability to afford the vehicle I was driving. Yes again, I was stopped for speeding? After being verb...ally interogated for 30 mins he arrested me and printed out 3 citations; Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangerment and an infraction. At this Point I was nervous and felt quite intimidated. When I got home I searched for lawyers and talked to many on the phone who couldnt give me any conclusion except pleading guiltly to 1 criminal charge and paying the infraction. I then got intouch with Henry. He spend the better part of 1 hour on the phone with me and took on the case with confidence. After the first hearing, Henry was able to negotiate a dismissal of both criminal charges and I had to pay a $550 infraction. I was really quite pleased with his work and how efficient he was. I would refer Henry to anyone who needs the help of a lawyer who is professional, honest and most importantly knows how to get the job done!

Honorable, Honest, Caring and full of Concern! Rare qualities in "lawyers", abundant in Henry!!

I had a very bad spring back in 2012. I rolled my wife's car during a bit of nasty weather. I was confronted by some, not so nice police officers, and ended up getting in a scuffle. Things went quickly from bad to worse and I was quickly arrested. I discovered Henry's services through the bail busine...ss I utilized to get me sprung from jail. It was a fortuitous discovery! While I didn't walk away from the charges or found innocent, I did get a plea bargain from the DA, thanks very much to Henry! He stated more than once that he would go to bat for me and fight the charges, which was very much appreciated. At the same time he informed me of the risks. I really didn't want a felony charge to stick, I had been a professional businessman prior to this incident and wanted to continue to be so. A felony would've destroyed my future! I took the plea bargain, did my time (21 days or so) and moved on. Henry's help was money spent well! He is a genuine person that actually cares about his clients! If you are looking for someone to represent you that has amazing credentials and the care and concern that you deserve as a human being, then Henry is your guy! Trust me! He is your guy!!!!

I had a great experience with Henry. I righly recommend him!

I was introduced Henry because I had no idea whom to hire when I was in charged for DUI, very scared and nervous. Henry listened to me very carefully and gave me the power that we could definitely solve the problem. He is very ambitious, not overwhelming, and organizing; most of all he really knows w...hat he is doing. Not only as a client and the lawyer, he loved to listen to me whatever that is, even my personal stories and feeling so he could put himself in my shoes.. He was also very patient when I had so many questions even when I called his personal cell phone, and he got back to me right away with happy voice when he missed my calls. The one thing that I really appreciate him is that he did not have to go to court with me after the case was actually closed, he showed up and put me on the list earlier so I didnt have to wait for an hour.. Even thought the case was over, he still was willing to take care of the case with no extra pay. I thought it was very nice of him that he just doesn't let me alone dealing with the case afterward.. Not only he has such a great personality, he is also very responsible and knowledgeable. Of course I was not the only client of him, but Henry always remember what is going on with my case, even all the details, he would love to answer all my questions. Whoever looking for a knowledgeable but very warm-hearted lawyer, he is the one you should go for. I think the good communication between the lawyer and the client is very important as well as the ability lawyer can win the case. I am very satisfied working with him, and he is a great person, a lawyer. Truly thank you Henry.

Responsive, Knowledgeable, & Caring

I was referred to Henry by another lawyer that guaranteed I would be in good hands & that he could handle everything I had going on between my issues in three different courts. I was able to meet for a consultation with Henry on a Saturday, which was a must for me as I work normal business hours just... like everyone else. It really put me at ease when at the end of the consultation Henry had already came up with some of the best options to meet my situations. It was a long road in and out of court & every question I had was promptly answered by email, a phone call, or text message. Each day I had court Henry would call to not only make sure that I remembered but to go over our plan and the possible actions the Judge or Prosecutor might take. This kept me thinking positive throughout the whole process because I wasn't just another client in another court awaiting another decision & not knowing what may or may not lie ahead. I completely recommend Henry 100% for his hard work, flexible schedule, and knowledge in so many areas of the law.
