Delton R. Henderson

At the Law Office of Delton R Henderson, we provide legal services for a diverse group of individuals and businesses. We also strive to remain active contributors to community service and nonprofit organizations.

Delton Henderson is a graduate of Benjamin N Cardozo School of Law (class of 1999) and licensed to practice law in the State of California and New York State. His practice focuses on issues involving life planning, entertainment law, and conflict resolution. Although he might some day consider working for a big firm or in-house, Delton currently enjoys both the flexibility and challenge of working independently.

“I like helping clients and educating them. I believe in being there when they need you. Considering the central role that miscommunication plays in the areas of our life where legal services must be contemplated, I make it my business to help clients clear up miscommunication by not contributing to it.”

Prior to forming the Law Office of Delton R Henderson, Delton served in multiple roles, ranging from associate and consultant to professor and executive director, while traveling and residing on four continents over the spance of twenty years. He and his partner, an infectious disease physician, reside in Los Angeles with their adorable bi-coastal dog.

As your counsel at law, Delton Henderson will offer a strong combination of professional experience and education, as part of the firm’s client-centered approach to legal services.
