About

Angela Henderson received her undergraduate and Juris Doctorate from DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. She was admitted to the Illinois Bar in 1997. During law school she participated in the mediation clinic at DePaul after taking two semesters of mediation training. She also practiced as a family lawyer during law school through Chicago Volunteer Legal Services under a 711 license. Angela began her career as a family attorney with offices in Hinsdale and Lemont. Nine years ago she decided to limit her practice to one county and now has a single office, Henderson & Mehta  Law & Mediation Center, in Joliet. Her practice continues to focus on family law issues including her work as a Guardian ad Litem and as Mediator. Prior to obtaining her law degree, Angela had a business career which included owning and operating four office supply stores, a Hallmark store and two travel agencies. Her business background is helpful in understanding income streams and business valuation issues. Her community activities include two terms as president of the Lemont Chamber of Commerce; teaching Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) through the Downers Township Human Services both to parents and to teachers; and PTA vice-president. She was a presenter for the Illinois State Police Juvenile Division Conference on Youth. Her long standing commitment to community service has not diminished as Angela currently coaches the mediation team at Lewis University. Her team has received regional and national awards including a special invitation to compete in Liverpool, England, this past November. Angela Henderson attends local as well as national seminars focused on the psychological impact of divorce on children. She recently attended the AFCC Symposium on Child Custody Evaluations in New Mexico; the International ADR Society Congress in Iowa; as well as numerous local educational opportunities. Angela Henderson is chair of the Guardian ad Litem Committee of the Will County Bar Association.

I am so glad I hired Angela. She got me thru a difficult situation. She is intelligent, professional and she cares about clients. Her staff is great. They kept me informed at all times. I am greatful that I had such great representation.

I'm so happy I went to see Angela. She was referred by an older attorney in Oak Brook but I ended up connecting with her here through AVVO. She met with me on a Saturday and was brutally honest with me about my case. She also told me what it would cost and what I had to do. Direct, no-nonsense, reasonable and knows her stuff. I have to leave my review anonymously because of my case but I consulted with at least 10 different family attorneys. I couldn't wait to hire Angela.

I had a concern regarding child support and maintenance, so I contacted several Will County family law firms for advice. Only Henderson has responded to my inquiries (over 24 hours) and they did that within a couple of hours of my request. I got an appointment to speak to Angela Henderson for the next day and within that less-than-30-minute phone call, I learned that I don't need an attorney and tons of information on how to resolve my concerns on my own. Thank you!!!!

Mrs. Henderson and her staff as well, have been very helpful in a difficult time and sensitive time. She tells it like it is and from my experience with her she is on the ball! Most importantly, she is all about what is best for the children involved...some attorneys, in my opinion and experience, could care less at the end of the day. She genuinely cares and she means business. Highly recommended.

The best description of Angela and her staff is exceptional. Angela is intelligent, experienced, and professional, and in my case Angela and her staff were extremely patient. Angela’s guidance and representation resulted in the best possible conclusion. I highly recommend Henderson Law.

Angela is handling an out of state custody battle & so far she's easy to get ahold of, her staff doesn't charge an arm and leg to talk about the case, and she acts fast! Very satisfied with this attorney so far.
