I had the pleasure of working with Jay Henderlite as my family attorney. There truly aren't enough words to express the journey and outcome and how satisfied I am as a client. I was treated with an honest approach, being told the reality of likeliness of my situation's outcome, in order to better strategize a path that would lead to healing for all involved. And that's exactly what happened. There are no bulldogs in this firm, but rather genuine, caring, direct healers who have you and your entire family's overall outcome and picture in their best interest, your side and the opposing side. My story was heartbreaking, like most, and Jay and Denise and their entire staff were always dedicated to making things smoother and easier to trim down into bite size pieces and show me that better days were possible. They help orchestrate honesty and for the courts to see the truth and what needs to be done to get to a better place for all parties involved. They take the high road, all of the time, and there isn't a better way for a firm to do it. It gains the respects of the courts and a high level of quality expected at any motion. I have recommended quite a few people now to this form and everyone has been happy with their results. I owe them so much of my current happiness, my son's health, and my coparent's level of positive involvement. Thank you, Jay. You helped make this life a lot easier, I can't thank you enough.

I actually received Denise Watson's name from a friend when I was sued by my ex-husband for contempt of court when my 17 YO daughter moved in with me full time (4 months from her 18th birthday). I didn't want to use the attorney I'd used for my divorce, so was in a bit of a pinch and needed someone fast. When I called the office, Denise wasn't available, but Jay was ... that very afternoon! It was like a sign ... he'd gotten out of court earlier than expected that day. It was difficult, at first, to explain the emotional abuse my daughter had experienced over the last 7+ years from her father, but he soon came to see from my perspective what kind of person we were dealing with and that my daughter had a good head on her shoulders and was responsible and good-hearted ... and deserved better treatment than what she was getting. He supported me and put me at ease, gave me good advice along the way and had a calming presence to somewhat ease my nerves and tension. He had timely responses to e-mails and phone calls as well. I was found not to be in contempt just as he'd said and only had his fees to pay ... actually received a refund on my retainer as well (which was the least of my concerns at the time, but his fees were very reasonable)!

I have worked with this company both as a client and as a service provider. They are well spoken, well mannered, and efficient. I could not as for more from either side of the check exchange.

Jay did a great job representing my interests and the interests of my children. He was conscientious of both my goals and my wallet, which I really appreciated. Communication is returned promptly, and, while I'm sure Jay is very busy, he never makes you feel like an imposition. I've also come to learn that Jay has a great reputation for putting children's wellbeing first with other professionals.

John Henderlite III and the Watson law firm guided and fought for me through one of the most difficult and emotional times of my life. My initial consultation with him, right down to the finality of my divorce, truly shows how committed Jay is to his clients. He was there for me, my daughter, and my family every step of the way. Most people don't think how many individuals are effected by divorce outside of the husband and wife. He put all my fear and negativity at ease, was calm and collected, and made sure that I always had a smile on my face. He was extremely communicative, honest, and a truly genuine person. I was referred to the law office of Denise Watson and was so thankful that I followed through with the recommendation. I wouldn't recommend anyone else to stand along side you during such a difficult process. I can't thank Jay and the firm enough for their personality, professionalism, and family-like atmosphere. During a time in my life when I felt like my world was crashing down and my family didn't live very close, Jay and this firm made me feel like family and that is more than I could have ever asked for.

Mr. Henderlite was very attentive to all of my concerns. He addressed all of my families needs in a very thoughtful and swift manner to make sure my children and I were not taken advantage of. He is very knowledgeable with the Florida law as well as family law. He paid attention to detail and made sure everything was handled swiftly and correctly.

Jay, and the Denise Watson Law Firm, have represented me on two separate occasions. Their rigor, relevance and results have been phenomenal! I always felt "safe" in their care and was treated like family. There is NO OTHER FIRM in Jacksonville that will fight for your family like this one!

Jay (John Henderlite III) is wonderfully compassionate, kind and goes the extra mile. My friend passed away, and didn't have any life insurance, and had very little to handle the affairs of her estate. She also had a 14 year old son who she had not made any legal arrangements for him. Her only wish was that he not be with his dad. She, the dad and her son did not have a great relationship, so it was a very touchy subject. Her ultimate wish was for her son to live with me when she died and that I could handle the affairs of her estate. Jay and his firm were told about the case and agreed to take it pro bono, knowing that my friend had nothing. He felt compassion for my friend and her son. She wasn't able to travel in the last days of her life, and Jay was able to prepare the paperwork and go to her house so that she could sign. My friend died several hours after signing the papers. I think that she felt comfortable that Jay's help would insure that her wishes were honored, and she felt that she did not have to hang on any longer. I don't know what we would have done without the help of Jay and his wonderful firm. He is knowledgeable and WILL get the job done!

I'm very happy I chose John Henderlite to represent my family and I. From start to finish, he showed limitless patience and compassion for my situation. Being a father, I was worried I would be at a disadvantage regarding timesharing, but John kept me focused and fought for us. My family and I are more than thrilled with the outcome and can't thank him enough!

Jay was not only responsive to all my issues and questions but highly knowledgeable about the entire process which gave me a very comfortable feeling in an attorney. I'd recommend him to anyone that is in need of family law services.

From the start, Mr. Henderlite was attentive, thorough, and in constant contact. It was very easy to communicate with him as needed; anytime I called or emailed him, he would contact me the same day. I never got the feeling that I was being rushed off of the phone, as he always took the time to make sure I clearly understood each step of the process, answering any and all of my questions and his professional guidance was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Mr. Henderlite's professional services to anyone that needs consultation or representation in the areas of his expertise. Give him a call or email and see for yourself! Very grateful that I chose John M Henderlite!
