About Chris
Chris Hendricks built a career that bridges public safety and private practice. He began his professional life in law enforcement, serving as a deputy for the Calloway County Sheriff’s Office in 2000 and later working as a probation and parole officer for the Kentucky Department of Corrections in 2005. Those early roles gave him ground-level experience in the criminal justice system and shaped the way he approaches cases today.
He returned to school and earned a B.A. from Murray State University before attending Southern Illinois University — Carbondale for his J.D. During law school he gained practical courtroom experience through clerkships, working for the Calloway/Marshall Circuit Court in 2012 and then at the Graves County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office in 2013. The clerkships provided exposure to prosecutorial decision-making and court procedures.
Hendricks entered private practice soon after. Records show he began a solo practice under the name Chris Hendricks, Lawyer at Law PLLC in 2014. The next year he spent time as an associate at Haverstock, Bell and Pitman, a stint that added firm-based litigation experience to his résumé. By 2017 he was again practicing under the Chris Hendricks Lawyer at Law name. His path reflects a mix of solo and firm work, alternating between courtroom roles and client-focused practice.
He holds membership in the Kentucky Bar Association since 2014 and has been part of the Calloway County Bar Association since 2015. Those memberships place him squarely in the Kentucky legal community and signal ongoing engagement with local practitioners. He is licensed to practice in Kentucky and maintains ties to the counties where he began his career.
Colleagues and clients describe an attorney who writes plainly and argues clearly. He draws on his time as a deputy and probation officer when preparing for hearings and negotiating with prosecutors. That background can be an asset in matters that require familiarity with corrections processes or local court calendars.
Hendricks runs his own practice from an office listed under the Chris Hendricks Lawyer at Law name. He manages the day-to-day work of a small practice while handling courtroom appearances when necessary. He currently practices through Chris Hendricks Lawyer at Law in Kentucky, representing clients in state courts.
