Henderson is a partner in Ellwanger Law Equal Rights Attorneys, whose office is in the Oak Cliff Bank Tower. He’s appeared as an expert throughout the court case of the officer accused of killing George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

Since then, he’s become a regular commenter for the network on legal topics around senseless violence against Black people in America.
