Firm Focus and History

Henderson & Howard was started with the specific goal of "helping good people deal with hard times." While we encourage and like to work with clients toward avoiding and mitigating foreseeable problems, our core practice remains assisting individuals, families and businesses dealing with difficult situations. From Bankruptcy to Family Law and Estate Planning to Probate, our focus has been and will continue to be helping our clients deal with these stressful and emotional issues in a caring and compassionate manor.

In 1998, Kim Henderson and her husband David opened their law office next door to mine. Over time we became friends, and decided to share office space together. Eventually we decided to form a partnership, and in January of 2001 we founded our firm. In 2005, David Henderson withdrew from the practice of law to pursue a teaching career, and Henderson & Howard was created. We are a 'Family Friendly' office and employer. Currently, every attorney and employee in our office is a parent, with most of us still having children living at home.

While our training and professional experience allows us to help guide you through these difficult legal and emotional issues, it is our shared experience as employees, students, parents, children, and grandparents that allows us to empathize and understand the daily struggles our clients may be facing.
