When you hire Henson Law Firm, you work directly with Rob. Your case is not passed from lawyer to lawyer or handled as one file among hundreds.
Experience and Approach
Rob Henson brings nearly two decades of criminal defense experience to the people he represents. He has substantial criminal jury and non-jury trial experience, in addition to representing clients through investigations, motions, negotiations, hearings, and other stages of criminal cases.
Rob intentionally limits the number of clients he accepts at one time. He does that for a simple reason: criminal cases require time.
A lawyer needs time to listen to the client, study the evidence, research the law, identify weaknesses in the State's case, discuss realistic options, prepare motions when appropriate, negotiate effectively, and prepare for trial when necessary.
Limiting his caseload allows Rob to give each case the individual attention he believes criminal defense requires.
To Rob, a client is not simply a defendant or a case number. A criminal charge can affect a person's freedom, family, career, reputation, finances, and future. He believes the lawyer handling that case should understand both the legal issues and what is at stake for the person facing them.
Direct Representation From Beginning to End
Rob personally handles the cases he accepts. From the initial consultation through the resolution of the case, clients communicate directly with the attorney responsible for their defense.
Every case is different. Some cases require extensive investigation. Some turn on a search, a statement, a witness, or another evidentiary issue. Some may be resolved through negotiation. Others require motions, hearings, or trial preparation.
The approach depends on the facts. The commitment to preparation and personal attention does not.
