Born and raised in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, Henderson

degrees in Business, Marketing and Political Science. Out
of college, Joe moved to Washington, DC where he worked
as a Legislative Assistant to a Congressman and as an international
trade lobbyist. Joe returned home in 1994 to attend the
University of Minnesota Law School.
Throughout
law school, Joe served with distinction as a law clerk in
the Office of Minnesota Attorney General Hubert H. Humphrey,
III. Upon graduation, Joe accepted the position of Assistant
Attorney General, providing counsel on a variety of contracts,
litigation and policy matters for the state.
In 2001, after Attorney General Humphrey’s departure from
office, Joe went into private practice with the Minneapolis
law firm Lockridge Grindal Nauen PLLP where he served as
an Associate Attorney. In 2005, Joe was recruited to join
the in-house legal department of MoneyGram International,
Inc. – a Minneapolis-based global financial services company
– where he served as both the head of litigation and then
as State Regulatory and Government Affairs Counsel.
Joe
chose to leave MoneyGram in September 2007, marry his excellent
wife Jill and start J. F. Henderson Law. He has since become
the father of identical twin sons Emmett and Edwin and is
loving every minute of it. Joe started his own firm out
of a driving desire to make a positive difference in the
lives of clients by providing honest and practical advice
without breaking the bank. This is his commitment to every
client and is what brings him satisfaction in his career
and in life.
