About Susan
Biography
Dennehy Law Firm focuses its resources on what it does best, representing patients who are harmed by medical malpractice.
Our goal is to make a difference. That means recovering money damages for our clients to try to restore what was lost as a result of medical negligence. But importantly, it also means changing the way medicine is practiced, achieving systemic changes, so that what happened to you won’t happen again to someone else. We believe this is a crucial part of justice. And we believe each of our cases has the potential to bring about essential change.
Susan Dennehy is a leading medical malpractice attorney in New York City, and her firm has recovered tens of millions of dollars for patients who endured botched surgeries, whose cancers went undiagnosed, and for families who suffered the loss of a loved one through medical misadventure. Susan is AV Preeminent®, signifying that a large number of other attorneys rank her at the highest level of professional excellence for her legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
"Her Firm never gave up; they fought for us, and they fought relentlessly, and the results in one word awesome."
