Since 2012 he has served as Principal Lawyer at the Law Office of John B. Henry, III, practicing under the name Lawyer & Counselor at Law.

That credential reflects formal training to represent the interests of incapacitated persons in guardianship proceedings. It also signals familiarity with the procedures and ethical duties that arise when courts appoint counsel for vulnerable adults.
He is a current member of the National Academy of Elder Law Lawyers and of the Texas Bar College. Those memberships place him in professional circles concerned with elder law, probate and related areas. He participates in association programs and continuing legal education tied to these subjects.
In day-to-day practice Henry often works on matters that involve guardianship and the legal issues facing older adults and their families. He handles pleadings, court appearances and client counseling tied to protective proceedings. His role as lawyer ad litem has him appearing in court to advocate for the best interests of individuals who cannot speak for themselves.
Colleagues describe him as persistent in the courtroom and steady in client sessions. Clients typically consult him when families confront the practical and legal questions that come with incapacity, end-of-life planning and long-term care coordination.
Over time his practice has remained anchored in Texas law and local courts. He balances litigation tasks with advising clients on steps to prevent unnecessary guardianship or to manage it when it becomes necessary. He continues to maintain active professional memberships and to engage in programs relevant to elder law.
He currently concentrates his practice on elder law and guardianship matters.
