Bachelor’s Degree – University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Carma Henson is a partner at Henson Fuerst, where she practices with her husband, David Henson, as well as her brother-in-law Thomas, and Rachel Fuerst. Carma was elected as the 2025-20206 President for the North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ) and served as the President and Vice-President of NCAJ’s Nursing Home Litigation Section. Carma also currently serves as the Chair of Nursing Home Litigation Group for the American Association for Justice (AAJ).
Carma joined Henson Fuerst after graduating from UNC School of Law in 1999, and has spent her career fighting to protect the rights of people who have been hurt, abused, or neglected through no fault of their own. Carma’s practice is focused on handling nursing home abuse and neglect cases—always battling the large corporations that put profits over people, risking the health and safety of our most vulnerable and frail population in order to make a large profit.
Carma’s passion for ensuring justice for these folks was naturally acquired. Carma was raised in a modest home where she learned to always work hard and stand up for what is right, for what she believed in.
Carma passionately believes that all people, no matter their race, religion, or age, deserve to be treated fairly, and with dignity and respect, at all phases and stages of life. At the end of the day, that is what is important to Carma, and what she strives to teach her children—to work hard, be caring, compassionate, honest, to treat people with respect, and to never back down from what you know is right.
Carma is married to David Henson, also an attorney and partner at Henson Fuerst (son of founding partner Tom Henson, Sr.). They have 2 sons, Caleb and Parker, who bring lots of laughter to the dinner table, as well as a sweet goldendoodle, Bailey. Carma and her family spend much of their free time with extended family, and love spending as much time as possible at the beach.
