TESTIMONIALS
Client Success Stories: Hear What Our Clients Say
Mr. Henderson is a great attorney. They took my case, when my old attorney wanted me to take plea deal. He is willing to fight for you.
Logan Alford
Richmond, Virginia
“Mr Henderson came down to the henrico county jail and visited me, told me I looked broken in spirits, I told him I’m riding with you”… “ we walked out of that court room not guilty acquitted on all counts he fought the prosecution so hard his nose started bleeding he is a bull dog in the courtroom.”… "I owe him everything for I wouldn’t have anything without him highly recommend!"

So grateful to have you as my lawyer, it was my very first ticket, my very first time in a court room, my nerves were all over the place, and you were right there by my side! I just want to say thank you!
Tasha Gay, Virginia
This past summer I had the opportunity to intern with Mr. Henderson. In that time I learned so much about the judicial system and what it takes to be a great attorney. Mr. Henderson is very professional and handles all his cases in that matter. He is very straight forward and will try to help you the best he can. If you want an attorney that knows the law, treat you with the upmost respect and get the job done, Arnold Henderson & Associates is the law firm for you!
I have had more than the pleasure of working with Arnold Henderson on many occasions, some very good for me, and some that would have not been good at all for me if I did not have Arnold as my attorney. His knowledge of all facets of business and his people acumen are second to none. I can't tell you how my life would be today if it were not for Arnold Henderson being a part of it and supporting me both in my business and personal situations that came before me. He is truly a great lawyer!
Johnny Johnson, Johnny On The Spot Services
Mr. Henderson handled two of my cases. First thing I noticed was that he and his legal assistant, Kathy were very professional. They were attentive and alleviated any case-related stress. I felt relieved knowing that Mr. Henderson had my back and was handling my cases in the most professional and respectable manner. Kathy was great too as she responded to my emails quickly and kept me updated on my cases. I really appreciate this!!
