Veterans Law
Discharge Characterization Upgrade
- Do you have an other than honorable or lower classification of discharge from the Armed Services? Has a significant amount of time passed since your discharge? Do you feel that your classification was unwarranted? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, we can work with you to try to improve your discharge characterization.
Apply for Veterans Benefits
- Did you just get out of the armed services? Confused by the VA Benefits system and need someone to help you through the process? Make an appointment with our office. The filing of the benefits is free and we will only get paid if we can improve your initial benefits determination.
Family Law
Post-separation Enforcement
LGBTQIA Law
Housing Discrimination
- Being denied housing for who you are is horrific. It is also against the law. If you have been steered, denied showings, or other activity has been taken against you, you deserve someone who will fight for your rights. Contact our office to learn more.
Discrimination at Work
- Have you received discrimination at work because of your sexuality or gender identity? Did you just get fired and you think it was because of your sexuality or gender identity? In 2020, the supreme court determined that such action was unconstitutional. If you have been fired or face discrimination at work due to your identity, contact our office to see if you have a case.
Defamation
- Have you been accused of checks notes drinking baby’s blood or being accused of being a pedophile? While the First Amendment covers most speech, it does not cover all speech. Defamation occurs when a person or group publishes or speaks a comment about you to a third party. If someone has sullied your reputation or attacked you personally contact our office to know more.
BDSM Defense
- Were you and your partners at a BDSM club that got raided by police? Did what started as an educational demonstration get you sued for assault and battery? At Hendley Law, we understand that different partners have different kinks and with few limits we will work to get the police to respect your right to self-enjoyment, or defend you from an unfair lawsuit. Reach out to know more.
Obscenity Defense
- Are you an artist who has been accused of your work being obscene? Obscenity has a legal definition that is hard to meet. Most of the time if you are facing a charge of obscenity, it is likely that someone is trying to censor your work. Contact our office to determine what your next steps are.
Contract Law
Contract law regulates the obligations established by agreement, whether express or implied, between private parties in the United States.
Consumer Protection
Debt Defense
- Are you suffering from oppressive debt that you can’t get out from under? Are companies blowing up your phone? Threatening you with arrest if you do not pay your debt. The Hendley Law Firm has experience dealing with these companies and can help you understand your rights under North Carolina debt collection laws.
Debt Collector Abuse
- The North Carolina Debt Collection Act and the North Carolina Collection Agency Act both provide significant protection against abusive actions by debt collection companies. Most people dont know their rights under the NCDCA or NCCAA, including sometimes the debt collection companies themselves. The Hendley Law Firm has experience going after these debt companies and in some instances, eliminating the debt partially or in its entirety. Contact us today to set up a Free Consultation to see if this applies to you.
Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices
- Did a company trick you into buying a defective item? Did you choose ‘Company A’ over ‘Company B’ because ‘Company A’ told you the Job would be done three days ago and now they are saying that it won’t be done for a week? Deceptive trade practices are illegal and you could be entitled to compensation. Contact us at hendleylaw@gmail.com for your free consultation.
Workplace Sexual Harassment
- Tired of being asked to be the third in your boss’s threesome? Are you pretty sure that your co-worker brushing your butt isn’t accidental? All People in North Carolina deserve to work in an environment free of sexual harassment. If you have been sexually harassed in the workplace, the Hendley Law Firm can assist you in getting compensated for it.
