Henderson, Covington, Messenger, Newman & Thomas Co. L.P.A. provides full legal service to our clients over a broad range of practice areas without sacrificing the quality of representation that comes with specialization. Each attorney focuses on a relatively small number of practice areas that range from corporate, banking, employment, and government law for businesses, trial and appellate representation, estate planning, probate, and family law. In areas outside of the firm's focus, we refer clients to a network of attorneys with proven competence. We think of our clients as friends and believe we provide more than legal representation.
