I chose Henshaw Law Office, because of the strongest reputation they had in the local business community and I am glad I did. Mr. Henshaw's level of highest professionalism and respectful treatment of my case & myself was unparalleled. Having an immense thorough knowledge of the Law, He knew how to craft a solid defense strategy, for my case. He presented the case articulately and with vigor struck down anything the other party said. David was super patient, great listener and communicator I really appreciate that, David is really eloquent and smart, & his work in court was outstanding and gave the final dismissal of my case which I was trying to obtain, this law firm is super up-to date technologically and informative, as well. Also a special thank you to the team at Henshaw Law Offices, they were very friendly, hardworking and caring. everyone was helpful and easy to deal with, Especially Lisa read more

The best lawyer in Northern CA. If you have any leag advise call him. I am giving 11 star....He is a lawyer that is not after for MONEY....

A competent, honest attorney that understands that his client is the most important person. I was in a very complex financial situation due to an illness. I spoke with one of his staff who set up an appointment. The meeting exceeded my expectations as he was very frank and gave me factual and relevant guidance. His office is state of the art, using the latest in technologies to research and file necessary papers. His level of expertise was very apparent when I finally had my day in court. All paperwork had been submitted correctly and in a timely matter. Other attorney's during that day had issues in that area. During this process, David and staff always were available to answer questions. Many times, the staff had the answers and I didn't even have to talk to David. He is different than any attorney I have dealt with in the past, as was his staff. When I asked David to call....he did. When I wanted information....the staff would email it to me very quickly. His rates were fair and a bit under market...but the service was 5 Star....with a focus on providing superior service to the customer and a positive can do attitude, which is shared by the staff. I highly recommend David Henshaw Law Office and would give it 1,000 stars plus if Yelp would allow it! read more

Tim Henry has been very helpful in understanding the details when needed and doing the research to come up with good options in some tricky situations. I have used him on multiple occasions and have no hesitation in recommending him. read more

Called about a matter and was told that Mr Henry would call me back. Three phone calls later still no call. Makes me wonder how they would treat an actual client. read more

At the moment my family and I have an open case with this law firm. Before going to them we interview many different attorneys in the San Jose area. After meeting David Henshaw we felt rather confident with him, so we decided to hire his law firm. This review will be updated soon. read more

"FIVE STARS" IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Tough situations are never fun but you can count on Henshaw & Henry to ease the process! I can't stress how much Henshaw & Henry has helped me through my difficult time! I would go through it again, without fear, as long as Henshaw & Henry is on my side! After being turned down by five law firms, Henshaw & Henry accepted my case with confidence and assertiveness. I had the pleasure to work with Timothy D. Henry, who was very professional, clear, patient, resourceful, and knowledgeable. This in turn, gave me peace of mind and assurance. Timothy was professional from start to finish. His works were done in a timely manner and all questions and/or concerns were personally answered. Timothy clearly explained the process and notified me prior to each step taken. Timothy was very patient. He gave me the opportunities to present my case and ask questions whenever they arise. He never once made me feel like a pain in the rear. Timothy may not have all the answers at hand but it didn't take him long to find them (he has talented co-workers). The gentleman is so resourceful and knowledgeable! Save yourself time and stress by scheduling your free consultation with Henshaw & Henry. Whatever your situation is, they will try their best to work with you (honestly give you their input). If not, they will point you to the right direction. The two beautiful ladies, working the front desk, are super sweet and helpful so don't be afraid to call! You won't regret it!!! read more

So, so, sooooo very pleased! My husband and I had spoken with several attorneys about a complex and complicated cases, even having a 20 year bankruptcy attorney in the area tell us that she was very unfamiliar with our type of case and felt uncomfortable handling it. Not David. Our very first meeting he was already "all in" even making calls to our previous attorney in another state to gain a better understanding of our case. Once we retained him, the service continued. He met with us both several times (even allowing our young children to come play in the office while we were meeting) and never neglected to return a phone call or email within a day. Sarah, his paralegal, is also amazing. She definitely went above and beyond with us every single time. We were pleased with rates, David's attitude, his staff, and EVERYTHING about David. Never have we been so "pleasantly surprised" at what we encountered in relation to an attorney as we were with Henshaw... read more

Not all attorneys are created equal as the many lawyer jokes out there give evidence of. Finding a competent attorney who looks after the best interests of his/her client and charges fairly can be a challenging task. After going through most of life not needing an attorney to a period where a number of attorneys were needed with different types of expertise, I feel I have had enough exposure to the legal profession to see how large the qualitative differences are between attorneys. David Henshaw is at the high end of the quality spectrum. With him you get an attorney who is competent and fair in addition to being well versed in his field of law. If there is an area he is unfamiliar with, he does good research and then effectively applies his findings. Additionally, David is a good communicator and his professionalism and demeanor make it easy to talk with him which is important during the many up, down and sometimes sideways directions a case goes. He not only works for his clients, but also with them to collaboratively determine tactics, strategy and a plan while at the same time keeping them informed about the law. If you're looking for a good civil attorney, you've come to the right place. read more

Although I could not retain Mr. Henshaw's representation for my legal matter the complimentary phone consultation with him was helpful and on point. read more

My firm employed David Henshaw to help navigate a complex legal situation. We are almost and year in and Dave has been responsive and helpful to no end. His charges have been more than fair. I've now referred friends to Dave and they have been just as impressed. read more

So David has been helping me out with a case for the last year. He is a really easy going down to earth guy and that just makes it much easier to relate to him. I spoke with about 5 other attorney's before I found David. Once I spoke to him on the phone, I knew I found the right person He has been thorough and professional the entire time. He is experienced and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him. The entire staff at his office is great to work with as well. read more

Mr. Henshaw was STELLAR in providing me information on whether or not bankruptcy (vs short sale vs selling my home as is for a loss) was the right move for me to make. I found his law office on yelp (which has 2 hidden reviews by the way - you have to make an additional click on the page to read them). This was my first encounter/consult with a lawyer re: this matter and so I was a bit apprehensive, however Mr. Henshaw was truly professional, thorough, and honest. Despite the fact that I ended up not requiring his services (which he recommended based on my situation and after my consultation), I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his law office to other folks in need of his services as he definitely is a great and honest resource. If need be (but hopefully not for my sake) in the future, I definitely would seek Mr. Henshaw's services to assist with my legal matters. On a side note, my stressors/financial situation (which I attribute greatly to the advice provided by Mr Henshaw) has greatly improved as there is truly light at the end of the tunnel re: my short sale. read more

Very responsive. Gave good advice. Definitely advocate for his clients. Very fair! He was able to help me resolve my dispute with a business partner. read more

Thank you to the woman at the front desk who answered my call and your help with the referral to the particular lawyer that I specifically needed. This company went out of their way to research the lawyer that I needed for my case. I haven't got much help from other Law offices but this one just made my morning by merely helping me track down the right one. Very courteous and helpful. read more

David's 1st impression was awesome. He gets to the point and genuinely cares about his client. He gave me great advice and is very intelligent. Great thought process & planing through the consultation. I don't leave that many reviews so this says a lot about the person I'm reviewing. Take your time and visit David, it will be well worth your time. read more

The Henshaw Law office really conducts their business well. It is a professional environment, I was impressed with the response time and with the employees. Hiring an attorney is a big decision. I definitely recommend to my family, friends and for business. Thank you Mr. Henshaw. read more

While other lawyers take all your info, probably sell it to third parties, and then refuse to give you information without exorbitant consultation fees - these guys returned a call I had, and gave some quick advice (extremely quick, low impact) I basically just needed a simple question answered. They just answered it, said good day and that was that. If I am ever in SJ and need a personal injury lawyer, I will be contacting these guys just on the basis of them being nice guys. This would have cost me 500$ and extricating myself from further service from a shady lawyer. Thank you! read more

I am so happy that I went to David Henshaw for my Chap 13 Bankruptcy!!! During the entire Bankruptcy process, his entire staff have shown true professionalism yet down to earth and patience. From the first phone call to his office, I felt that this law firm was different. I had gone to a few other attorneys but did not feel comfortable about the services. It seemed like the other law firms, most of the interview was done by the paralegal. I did not even go into the other attorneys office, only the paralegals. David took a sincere and interest in my case. I was forced into bankruptcy because of unexpected job loss earlier this year. My case had a complication because I want to keep my 2 vehicles but David's expert knowledge on Bankruptcy law will allow me to do this in my Chap. 13 plan. And also, the David Henshaw legal fees are very affordable. David answered my questions and concerns and explains all the legal terms in easy to understand language .Also, he his staff follow ups on all phone calls and emails promptly. Finally, when it came to the time for the meeting of creditors, I was so glad that David was there as my attorney. Very Professional! If you want the best for your bankruptcy case; contact David Henshaw! read more

Finally an honest attorney. I had a complicated legal issue involving business, and family. The case had gone on for a long time and I had gotten very discouraged. I had spoken and interviewed many lawyers, most were more concerned about possibility of large settlement and how quickly we could setter than were concerned about details of the case. David is extremely different. His staff is positive, he is knowledgeable, fair, and most of all extremely competent. His rates were very affordable, and he was able to take on my case and treat it as if it were the only case he was working on. Nothing sucks more than having to hire a lawyer, and most lawyers are extremely happy to get your business only not to reply to your emails and calls afterwards. I would greatly recommend Henshaw to anyone who is going through a civil case or bankruptcy case. The only lawyer I have found that returns calls, and responds to emails. The only lawyer i have found that approaches things with utmost honesty. Thanks David. read more

The Henshaw Law firm is extremely professional and kind. I had a meeting with Mr. Henshaw last week and even though he was unable to help me, he was considerate and explained all my options. I would highly recommend him and his firm. read more

My wife and I walked in to see about making some sense out of our horrible mortgage situation and Mr. Henshaw saw us into his office with our heads held low. After a free consultation resulting in the best news and most sound advice we'd heard in years concerning our home, we left his office smiling. What price do you put on regaining your footing and confidence? We were able to minimize the impact to our credit ratings and part ways with an evil corporation largely unscathed. I have told everyone I know about my experience here and will continue to do so. If you, like I, don't trust some professions because they are full of bad people but know that some *must* be good, your first stop to have your faith restored in humanity should be the Henshaw Law Office. Such praise may come dangerously close to giving David a big head, but you have to know that his heart and brain are every bit as big. He is also remarkably down-to-earth, never condescending, and exudes the assurance of ability that you would think would necessitate an enormous ego, but we saw no evidence of aggrandized self-importance. Kudos, David Henshaw, for being real. read more

I just had a brief 15 minute meeting with Mr. Henshaw. He gave me some very good practical advice and didn't charge me... so the least I can do is give him a two thumbs up. We talked about various strategies for winding up a business and he said that my case was so simple he would just forward me some links to some state of california forms for me to fill out, and he wouldn't feel comfortable charging me. How cool is that? Again, a big 2 thumbs up. read more

I retained David for an employment case that ended up taking over 2 years. From the very beginning, David was personable and clear in his communications. Like every other review has already stated, David is an honest guy that actually cares for his clients. I chose to retain David 2 years ago (before he had earned this many positive reviews) based on a gut feeling that this guy isn't like the 4 other attorneys I spoke to prior, and I'm glad my gut instinct paid off. His staff is also highly competent and his rates are fair. I would recommend David to anyone who could use his legal services. read more

I fully recommend the Henshaw Law Office of San Jose: David Henshaw has easily been the most positive lawyer experience I've ever had. His experience and knowledge of Bankruptcy Law, allowed me the confidence to go through the process of my BK (which was a scary proposition to me before entering it.) The Henshaw law office made me fell supported in a very stressful situation, and I never felt rushed and had ALL of my pre & post questions answered ! David demonstrated a very calming and professional demeanor (both in his office and in actual court) that made me feel protected and after two office visits and two trustee court appointments, I netted the outcome I was looking for. I do, and have already, highly recommend the Henshaw Law group for those need help in the mire of bankruptcy law, which is overly complicated, David assayed the process down to a point of minimal pain for me! I'd like to also say that as a professional he willing met with me on a Sunday evening to accomodate my situation and he never waivered from his involvement and dedication to my feelings and my case, (which being treating with care & kindness while going through one of the most humbling experiences in my life, is worth double my fee!) I don't think I can more highly recommend the Henshaw Law Office, he is easily a trusting and compassionate human being that has a law degree! Sincerely, MBD read more

I talked with Mr Henshaw about my situation, he didn't take my case but he tood 30 minutes to talk with me and gave me candid and useful information. He would usually represent debtor only, and not creditor. read more

Great attorney who is willing to accept calls late at night and answer questions in a calm and understandable way.

I have to agree with others, if you are going to see David then it's because of coming upon hard times, but I cannot say enough how easy he made the process as far as answering all my questions and more importantly the stressful part of filling out all the paperwork that goes with filing a BK. In a 2 hour appt he made all the difference for me in the financial aspect of my life. He was always quick at responding in the weeks that followed up until my court date. And also his prices and what he charged was more than reasonable considering all he did on his end in the paperwork. read more

I just went though a bankruptcy, an event stressful enough and David made it simple and painless. I even filled out forms incorrectly and we had to start one part all over but David was always very nice and always willing to help. I didn't miss work, he even stayed late, like 7 pm late just to see me. There is no part of dealing with David that was negative. He made a difficult situation easy to understand and at the end of the day I owe $200,00 dollars less than I did 6 months ago and I still have my house and my car...and my girlfriend! Don't hesitate to use this guy. I'm a real person and would be willing to talk to anyone thinking of hiring David, he can give you my contact information, no problem. read more

This is a very straight forward law firm. They are helpful, taking their time to explore, clarify and explain different options and potential disadvantages. There is no pressure, nor any hesitation. read more

I needed a good contract attorney. I found that David's company had some very positive reviews on Yelp so I hired him for his services. I found him to be patient and reasonable as I did not understand the complexities of the law. Although the case took much longer and cost a bit more than I had anticipated which is probably true for most cases. I was overall happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to refer him to friends or family. Whenever I called or emailed, I was generally answered to within 24 hours. His staff was helpful and understanding as well. I had a good experience. read more

He has been extremely nice to my question when I call, even I cant pay him and even they are just simple small questions. He has been very helpful. read more

This is my second "Yelp Review" of David Henshaw (my first review was posted on 8-24-17). We won the case BIG TIME. Now, David is representing me in a malicious prosecution case against the plaintiff and her attorney, Alfonso Poire, Esq. As I shared with Yelp readers in my first review, I am a retired CPA and have been involved in more that 100 civil litigation cases. I hold David Henshaw in the highest respect that I could hold; he is professional, timely, and respected in the courtroom...the BEST OF THE BEST. I say this through lots of experience working with many attorneys...they do not deliver any better than David. Thank you David for your knowledge, professionalism, and care for my cases; you truly are the BEST OF THE BEST. read more

Mr. Henshaw has a great personality, is down to earth, and is very professional. I highly recommend his firm.

I had a really bad experience with lawyer Henshaw. I came in for a free consultation to file bankruptcy and I took the credit counseling as he suggested before we could move forward. After I finished the course, I called in as he asked me to let him know and he was busy, so I understood. I called back the next day and the receptionist transferred me to him and I left him a message and never heard him back. They have very poor customer service and care. He delayed my bankruptcy filing process. It is a waste of my time to come to his office to get his help anyway. Beside his poor customer service, his front receptionist is not friendly at all. read more

Mr. Henshaw was nice enough to give me bankruptcy advice over the phone. He was honest and said I really didn't need to get a lawyer and could just wait it out for a 1099. I appreciated the honesty and his willingness to be of help. read more

Went in for a consultation regarding a debt judgement from a car accident that I was sure would have a horrible outcome for our family. Mr. Henshaw worked with us and the opposing attorney to help us renegotiate and get through an terrible situation and see light at the end of the tunnel. Mr. Henshaw showed a genuine concern and care for us and our situation and is more than fair on his fees. read more

David is very patient and provided us many helpful suggestions. I would highly recommend him and his firm.

I met David with an employment legal matter and he offered a free consultation, analysis of my situation with much attention to the detail and no BS, helpful advice. Look no further, he is the man. read more

Made my options very clear during the free consultation. Was even upfront to say that an attorney will cost them more money than what's involved. Will hire them in future. read more
