My Clients Should Know

I don’t like wasting people’s time. If someone doesn’t have a case that HensonFuerst can help them with, I tell them up front. By the same token, if I think a case has merit, I tell them. People do not like getting bad news, but if bad news is the truth, they appreciate hearing it. This is their case—they want and deserve to know whenever there is news of any kind. I try to treat people the way I would want to be treated in these kinds of stressful situations.

Why I Became a Lawyer

I wasn’t one of those people who knew from an early age that I wanted to be a lawyer. It started with something superficial—I saw the movie “The Firm” with Tom Cruise, which made being a lawyer look cool. I discovered that that deeper I got into law, the more I liked it. Now, I can’t imagine doing anything else.

Personal Information

To keep healthy, I go to the gym three to four days a week. I also spend time with my wife and my young daughter—she’s at that age when she’s such a joy.
