Our family will always be grateful to David for his exceptional representation and unwavering dedication throughout my son's case. My son and his former girlfriend were both serving in the Air Force when she made allegations of sexual misconduct and stalking against him after they broke up and for revenge. From the very beginning, David approached the case with professionalism, compassion, and an exceptional understanding of military law. He thoroughly investigated every detail, prepared a strong defense, and remained confident and supportive during one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced. Thanks to his hard work, expertise, and commitment to presenting the facts, my son was found not guilty of all allegations. What impressed us most was not only David's legal skill but also the respect, kindness, and genuine care he showed our son throughout the entire process. He kept us informed every step of the way, answered our questions with patience, and fought tirelessly to ensure that the truth was heard. If you are looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and deeply committed to his clients, I cannot recommend David highly enough. His professionalism, integrity, and tireless advocacy made all the difference, and our family will always be thankful for everything he did for us.

The level of detail, dedication, and care he puts into his cases and how deep he dives into it all is amazing. He is very well spoken in court, knows the law really well, and can make sure to give you the best case you could imagine. Leads a team really well and can make a disorganized mess of a case be easily understood. I cannot say how happy I was with his service.

I had the privilege of working with David Hendrickson during an Article 15 proceeding, and his guidance made an incredibly stressful situation far more manageable. From the start, David demonstrated a deep understanding of how military justice operates, which immediately set him apart. His knowledge of the unique procedures and pressures that service members face allowed him to anticipate challenges and provide clear, actionable advice tailored to my circumstances. David’s professionalism and communication style gave me confidence throughout the process. He broke down complex regulations into straightforward explanations, ensuring I understood each step and felt prepared rather than overwhelmed. His ability to balance firmness with empathy helped me stay focused and calm, even when the stakes felt high. What impressed me most was his dedication to military personnel he truly understands the system and how to navigate it effectively. He was thorough, responsive, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcome. Thanks to his expertise and support, the entire process felt less intimidating and far less stressful than I had anticipated. I strongly recommend David Hendrickson to any service member seeking representation. His combination of legal skill, military knowledge, and genuine care for his clients makes him an outstanding advocate.

David is an extremely down to earth individual and professional. He is also very experienced in his craft. He keeps everything straightforward but also simple to understand. I'm been in contact with many attorneys but David is one of the very few who not only truly cares but also be able to easily connect and work with to make your job easier.

David was thorough in explaining and elaborating on all my questions and addressing my concerns. He was able to alleviate my worries along the way and was quite impressive during the trial. He won my case! For that I will be forever grateful of the dedication and focus he gave to my case. Much gratitude to David, highly recommended!

I had someone bring false claims against me after I had them arrested. When I called around town David’s name kept popping up. Other attorneys told me he was a very smart and an aggressive attorney …also several private investigators recommended him. David was amazing he knew my case like the back of his hand and like everyone said he was very smart and aggressive and had the defended back peddling. He impeached the defended on several occasions and he was even able to respectfully argue with the judge to make him see it our way. The guy knows the law well and was able to use it in our favor! I was so impressed with his work I paid him way more than what he asked for! He deserved it! If you need a lawyer that genuinely cares about his clients….a professional that can win in a trial David Hendrickson is the attorney for you! Give him a call and know that you are in good hands!

One of the best in the business. Mr. Hendrickson is fair, professional, and truly goes the extra mile for his clients. He’s not afraid to take a case to court and won’t back down from a challenge. He stands firm—he’s not intimidated by judges and definitely not a pushover.
