When my family faced an unthinkable, tragic loss, it was heartbroken and lost souls who are forever grateful for being referred to Brad Henry and the law firm of Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow. We soon understood why he is held in the highest regard by his peers and others. His knowledge, excellence, professionalism, dedication are, in my view, unmatched and only rivaled by his concern, care and compassion for his clients and their loss. He expertly guided us, making a foreign process understandable to us laymen, and always with patience and kindness. It wasn't just the legal process that held his interest; he was also interested in who we lost. We laughed together at fond memories shared, and were comforted by Brad when the tears were shed. He was not only our champion, but our lost loved one's as well. The journey was long and difficult, but we always felt relief and comfort knowing we were in the hands of Brad Henry and associates. I hope anyone facing a tragic personal loss will find Brad Henry. I would not hesitate to recommend him for not only his legal expertise, but also for his personal touch.

Bradley Henry is a brilliant lawyer. I was very impressed with his approach to my case. He is a great strategist. He thinks of possibilities that I would never have thought of. He is very meticulous and his use of technology to help others to understand what can be a very complicated issues is outstanding. He is not only a brilliant individual, but an outstanding person. Brad is able to help guide his clients though what is a extremely difficult and emotional process. I can't thank Brad enough for what he has done for my family & I.
