Botched an obvious ERISA case. Allowed
2 administrative appeals on disability to go to a binding arbitration, clearly in violation of ERISA. This allowed opposing insurance company to have a 3rd administrative appeal.

Judge Henderson is an incredibly intelligent judge, and very courteous to all who appear before him, including new lawyers. He is a fantastic judge for plaintiffs in civil rights cases. He truly cares about justice and about the litigants in the cases.
