Tyler Henderson practices on the collection end of litigation when a debtor decides not to pay. For nearly 15 years, he has prosecuted fraud claims, recovered assets, and litigated complex business disputes, with his core practice focused on creditors’ rights and post-judgment enforcement: voidable and fraudulent transfer litigation, veil-piercing, successor liability, attacking asset-protection schemes, and unwinding shell-company structures. He spent the early years of his career on the debtor side, representing companies and individuals in bankruptcy. The perspective from that experience informs how he approaches the cases on his desk today and helps him anticipate what debtors are likely to try next.

A Dalton, Georgia native, Tyler graduated from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) with honors and stayed in Athens for law school, finishing cum laude in 2011. He handles his cases from intake through trial and appeal in Georgia’s state and federal courts, including the Georgia Supreme Court, the Georgia Court of Appeals, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

“If your non-lawyer client can’t understand what you’ve written, you’ve done a bad job.”

Tyler’s preferred approach to enforcement is what he calls “shock and awe,” pursuing aggressive litigation on multiple fronts simultaneously and pulling in forensic accountants, private investigators, and other specialists where the case calls for it, rather than moving incrementally and letting debtors run out the clock. He works directly with clients to scope strategy and structure fees, and is comfortable taking on the kind of complicated, contested matters that don’t fit neatly into a traditional collection practice.

Outside the office, Tyler and his wife do their best to keep up with their four-year-old. He’s an avid (if mediocre) golfer and a member of the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association. He’d like to get back to more concerts and ski trips, but for now, parenting has reordered the priorities.
