She holds current memberships in the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives, the Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association, the Knoxville Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the American Association for Justice. Those affiliations keep her connected to developments in civil litigation practice and to peers handling similar legal issues.
Clients and other lawyers who have worked with Henry note that she combines courtroom preparation with an eye toward practical resolution. She accepts matters that require representation in state courts and in the Sixth Circuit, and she steps into the mediator role when parties seek a facilitated negotiation. Her background in mediation informs how she frames settlement options and evaluates risk when advising clients on whether to press a case to trial.
Her practice at Garza Law Office, PLLC blends litigation and alternative dispute resolution. She continues to take cases in Tennessee state and federal settings while serving as a Rule 31 general civil mediator.
