About

I am licensed to practice in all Courts in MD, DC and VA and have been a practicing attorney for approximately 35 years.  My rates are reasonable and I am a seasoned attorney. I am a 1981 graduate of Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA) and a 1984 graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law (Cleveland, OH).  In 1995, I decided to form my own law firm, a general practice concentrating in plaintiff's personal injury, family law matters, estate planning, corporate formation and representation, and criminal defense. I have handled hundreds (and in some areas, thousands) of cases in each of those practice areas.   I present well-reasoned approaches to problem-solving, spend a great deal of time getting to know the issues and the people involved, and then work hard to craft solutions, both in and out of court. I truly care for my clients, take a holistic approach to problem-solving (engaging a wide variety of treatment and counseling professionals to assist in the case when needed), and I take pains to make sure my clients are well-suited to move on with their lives when their legal matters are concluded. After being carjacked, shot and left for dead in the District of Columbia in 1996, I developed an intense interest in the representation of crime victims.  I am an an outspoken advocate of victim’s rights and a former member of the Montgomery County and State of Maryland Victim Services Advisory Boards. (I was the Co-Chairperson of the Montgomery County Victim Services Advisory Board from 1998-2002).  I am a recipient of the Maryland Governor’s Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Contributions in the Field of Victim Rights and Services and the Maryland Reflections and Spirit Award for Outstanding Service on Behalf of Crime Victims.  I am listed in "Who’s Who in America." I live in Montgomery County with my daughter, Miranda.  I am willing to meet with clients day or night and on weekends and to otherwise accommodate their schedules.  I will work hard and fight for every client.

A family member recently received two underage drinking citations within a few month period. The close proximity of the charges threatened to leave a permanent record that could be a burden to the client's reputation and advancement for years. In this somewhat unusual case, Bill Henry proposed a creative solution to the Court that was accepted and ultimately resulted in the complete dismissal and expungement of all charges. Bill's ongoing timely communication to multiple Maryland state officials and to us, his clients, was exemplary. We were continuously updated by phone, email, and in personal meetings, as to the status of all proceedings. We felt that we were receiving the care and expert service that clients with much larger cases (and budgets for legal services) might expect. Bill is an attentive, articulate problem-solver whose energetic attention to the details of the case was remarkable -- and he handled every aspect personally, never delegating even basic administrative tasks to others. As a young person, the client required an attorney who could not only handle the legal tasks, but could be reassuring and encouraging through this frightening brush with the legal system. We will engage Bill Henry, if future needs arise, and will highly recommend him. We want to express our gratitude for Bill's hard work and his steady commitment to his client.

I have worked with mr Henry twice on two different cases. The first was my fathers estate It was a very sticky mess and required knowledge of all different aspects with properties under water and extreme debt. However mr Henry handled the estate well and everything worked out so well. He gave the best advice and broke down all the legal jargon for me to better understand my options. The second was my own will he did it for my husband and I and did a great job. Of course it was done well and fast! He is a great lawyer and person. I highly recommend him.

My family has had the pleasure of using Bill Henry for multiple legal matters over the past 13 years. He has efficiently handled divorces, wills, powers of attorney, motor vehicle accident settlements, estates, property issues (both in Maryland and out of state), and provided other legal advice. I have already recommended him to friends and co-workers and will continue to do so. In all he does, Bill keeps his client's interests first - which is saying something in a difficult economy. He's NEVER tried to increase billable hours needlessly, and offered solutions to minimize out of pocket expenses... this on top of him really being a down to Earth nice guy makes him a go to lawyer in my opinion. As an observation though, if you're looking for a big office, with multiple levels of receptionists and lots of staff, you might want to look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a very good lawyer who will work hard for your interests while keeping your expenses manageable, you can't do better than Bill Henry.

Great lawyer for family matters to include winning me everything I asked for in my divorce proceedings and helping over the years for help with visitation for both me and my second husband and his visitation issues. Highly recommend Bill as he is very responsive and easy to get on the phone.

Bill has been my personal and business attorney for more than twenty-five years. I have trusted him with everything I hold sacred from my family to my employees of my business. In business he reviewed contracts and ensured that we never compromised in any way whatsoever. Our last contract was more than 900-pages with the Federal Government for one of the largest Homeland Security Presidential Directives of its time worth more than $4.5 million dollars holding a 3-million dollar bond. Bill was a key-player to our rise in becoming the Number #1 Security Company in the Nation. As our personal attorney he has assisted me and my family through teenage problems, adoptions, and plenty more private family issues. We trust him so much we have recommended him to many of our friends and family and every one of them has thanked us for it, Bill is always up-front with all good news, bad news, and all billing issues. He stands by you to the end and becomes a friend to all he served.

I retained Mr. Henry to represent me in an auto accident case after the insurance company refused to make any type of reasonable offer for my injuries. Mr. Henry pursued all avenues of relief, worked up my case, and vigorously prosecuted my claim. Mr. Henry not only settled the case, he was able to get the insurance company to pay policy limits. Since then, I have used Mr. Henry for all of my legal matters, including claims against contractors for faulty workmanship. Mr. Henry has exceeded my expectations in all of those matters and achieved fantastic results.
