Hendershot Cowart P.C.

I received exceptional legal representation by Hendershot Cowart P.C., and specifically by Brady Dunlop.

Throughout the process, Brady was patient, tireless, and highly strategic in developing a solid defense. His guidance and expertise were invaluable, ultimately leading to a smooth dismissal of the case.

As someone deeply dedicated to the field of medicine, these allegations were personally distressing. I am incredibly grateful to the entire team for protecting my career and resolving this matter so effectively. Thank you.

If you are looking for someone to get your board complaint dismissed—Keith is your man!

I had a retaliatory board complaint submitted by a non-patient and I was scrambling to find a Medical Malpractice Defense Attorney. Keith wrote a POWERFUL DEFENSE within a short two-week turnaround.

The Texas Board typically takes 6-12 months to process, and it was dismissed in 3 months!!! That's how strong his arguments were.

Keith is prompt, thorough, and he's no bullshit— the type of lawyer you want in your corner.

A healthcare provider's worst nightmare is to lose their license. Don't gamble with your livelihood and think that you can write your own response to the board. Do yourself a favor and hire Keith to protect what you worked years to build.

I hired Hendershot to review a contract for me. I paid $1250 for the initial revision which he did in the most awkward and unprofessional way over the phone. Then I paid $2300 for him to implement his recommendations. It’s been over a month and half and I still can’t get a hold of him or anyone at his office beside the front desk that keeps saying someone will get in touch with me soon. Last conversation I had with the front desk, I told them I want a full refund and still no correspondence. This is probably one of the least professional companies you can ever deal with. I will be calling my bank to dispute this charge because services were not rendered after my payment was collected.

I’m very pleased with the outcome so far with this law firm, from the initial contact with their intake and how polite they were documenting everything that we talked about. The knowledge that they had was just great. Laura Vacker called me within the day to go over everything, She was extremely helpful. She broke down everything and gave me as much information on the law firm that could be provided. Most law firms don’t even do that. She gave me different options, which I am reviewing now. It was a delight to finally get an attorney on the phone that seemed to know the exact steps that we needed to take.

I think it’s worth noting that I’ve left hundreds of reviews for local businesses, and it’s very rare that I leave a negative one, but I think it’s worth sharing to help others in the future.

For the amount of money you’re going to spend (likely minimum 50-100k), you’re better off hiring a top-tier law firm with more seasoned attorneys.

Throughout the process, it felt like we were outmatched by the opposing firm. While I appreciate the effort from my attorneys, the experience level didn’t seem aligned with the senior trial partner we were up against at a large national firm. It often felt like they were playing defense and conceding too quickly rather than pushing back with confidence. Additionally, it did not inspire confidence that my attorney was only a few years in going against a 30-year partner at a large firm. The experience differential showed.

I also felt like I was driving much of the strategy. There were multiple points where it didn’t seem like my objectives were fully understood or prioritized.

Communication was another concern. In one of my first interactions, I was addressed by the name of my opponent, which didn’t inspire confidence. At one of the most critical points in the case, there was an attempt to postpone a conversation until after a demand letter deadline. Given the urgency, that was especially frustrating, and it wasn’t addressed until I pushed for it.

The billing was also questionable. Even though there was no in-person court action or mediation, and the agreement was ultimately settled directly between the parties, the total cost ended up above the original estimate, which had accounted for significantly more legal work.

Additionally, a large portion of the fees were tied to documents after terms had already been agreed to and a document outlining the high-level terms had been provided.

Even after the final documents were signed and everything was complete, a short email exchange with a simple clarifying question ended up costing me $1,200. Because one attorney was out, another had to review the full set of finalized documents just to provide a basic answer. This likely would have taken a few minutes for the primary attorney to address.

On top of that, well over a month after the agreement was signed and I had paid the final invoice, as confirmed by their accounting, I received an additional bill for $1,300.

It also seemed like many routine email exchanges resulted in calls with opposing counsel involving two attorneys, adding time and cost unnecessarily.

Even when I directed my attorneys on certain points I had already agreed to, there was pushback that led to additional back-and-forth with opposing counsel.

Based on my experience with other attorneys, the fees here felt disproportionate to the work involved.

If your case has meaningful stakes, I would strongly consider a larger firm with more experienced attorneys. For the amount you're likely going to spend here, there are likely better options.
