I hired Dave when I was falsely accused of a sexual assault crime that I did not commit within my command we immediately got to work. And he walk me through every step of the way. Dave answered all my questions and was a good lawyer. I am glad I had him on my side we didn’t even step foot in the Court. The investigation came back unfounded which I didn’t have a doubt since the allegations were so bogus. But now I can get to go back to work with my honor and Dignity back and head held up high. To complete my 24years and retire. I would recommend Dave. He actually cares and takes the time to talk to you and understands how people can use these military programs as a weapon instead of actual victims using it for help.
Dave tirelessly fights for all of the clients that he represents. His grasp of case law and rules of evidence is impeccable and it clearly shines through in his uncanny degree of persuasiveness in front of judges & juries. Working together with Dave as a trial consultant, it is easy to see how he expertly navigates and leads his defense teams with a laser focus on just one thing.....getting the best possible result for his client. Furthermore, Dave has a very easy-going and professional manner of handling himself, which results in the production of highly effective and productive collaborative professional working relationships. I HIGHLY recommend Dave Hendrickson without a single reservation when it comes to military criminal defense!
Absolutely amazing I was very upset as I got criminal citation for just walking on beach was able to get case dismissed.
I asked for Mr. Henderson’s help with getting a rebuttal together for a military General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand. From the moment I hired Mr. Henderson, I had 7 calendar days to craft and deliver a rebuttal letter that would act as my defense to a two star General Officer. Mr. Henderson wasted no time and was in contact with me for the entire 7 days, asking for information and consolidating all the facts into a document. Mr. Henderson understood that the rebuttal letter was not something small or insignificant, but that it was something that could save my military career, my security clearance, and my future. Mr. Henderson crafted an exceedingly detailed document that I could never have come close to without his help and expertise. The rebuttal letter consisted of my account of what had happened but also exposed every discrepancy in the military investigation and the lack of supporting evidence by the police, all while showcasing me in a human light. That I was not just some no name, no face person, but someone who made a mistake and was trying to do right. Mr. Henderson wasted no time, was available for me to call 24/7, and was friendly, professional, and an excellent choice!
I retained David in 2019 following being notified that I was investigation for a sexual harassment allegation. At the time of this allegation, I was a Specialist that was filling a Battalion level NCOIC spot that was slotted for a Sergeant First Class. I was fast tracking quickly, and was highly respected and valued in my unit. When this false allegation came forward, all of that respect and confidence in me went away. I conducted hours of research into the best attorney to hire - as I knew that I did not do what I was alleged of doing, and I did not want to lose my career, or even my freedom. After conducting my due diligence through reading reviews, testimonies and outcomes, I knew that David was the attorney that I needed to retain. David worked tirelessly on my case, and was always available to me - day or night. When I had my first conversation with him, I felt SO MUCH stress get off of my shoulders, and I knew that everything was going to be okay. I had an investigating officer that was only in the unit two weeks, right out of school. She was determined to find me guilty, and attempted numerous times to bypass David and use her rank to intimidate me/force me to talk. David did not stand for this, and ensured that my rights were protected. Through David's counsel, I was found NOT GUILTY of sexual harassment. Despite attempts by the investigating officer to find me guilty - even suggesting I lied on my sworn statement due to a minor mistake of what exactly I did one night from 3 months prior - I prevailed and have since been promoted and PCS'd. I fully accredit the outcome of the case to David's representation. I truly do not believe I would be where I am now if I had not retained him. I fully recommend David for any legal matters that may come your way. I know that in the event I need representation again, or I simply need to consult on a matter, that David is the person I am going to call.
