A terrific attorney for employment conflicts/issues

I have been so very pleased with Mr. Brendan Hennessy's representation of my case. I was referred to Brendan by a business friend of my husband's. At the time, I was seeking an attorney who could assist me with compensation following the elimination of my position with a company with whom I had worke...d for over a decade. My initial meeting with Brendan was relaxed and straightforward. After carefully listening to my case and reviewing the facts, he explained next steps. At no time did I feel rushed or under any pressure. The relaxed atmosphere he created was comforting and removed any degree of stress on my part. As the case progressed, Brendan kept me informed and was easy to reach at any given time. At one significant juncture, Brendan spoke with me at length about a choice I would need to make that would determine if and how the case would move forward. His thorough explanation gave me confidence in making a decision that ultimately affected the outcome of the case. His patience, knowledge and professionalism at each step of the way, helped me maintain a sense of calm and hope. The fact that opposing counsel was part of a large firm did not in the least intimidate Brendan. He more than rose to the occasion and was highly successful in bringing the case to an excellent conclusion. I highly recommend Mr. Brendan Hennessy to anyone who is faced with a serious employer conflict. You will not be disappointed.

Great employment-focused attorney!

Brendan was recommended to me by a friend, and I could not have been more pleased with the way in which my case, involving employment termination, was handled. He kept me informed of his progress, and helped me reach a satisfactory settlement. I would recommend Brendan wholeheartedly as representatio...n for any employment dispute.

I can't say enough good things about Brendan........

Brendan assisted me in relation to a matter where I already hired another attorney. He provided great advice and I wished I hired him from the beginning. He helped bring the matter to a successful conclusion. He has integrity, compassion, knowledge of the litigation process, and excellent communic...ation skills.

Responsive, Strategic, and Results Driven

I reached out to Mr. Hennessey regarding an employment issue I had called four other lawyers (using online directory - as I had no one to refer me) and he's the ONLY one that took my call. Out of the others, three never even followed up on my initial message, and the fourth only had the assistant tak...e the reason for my calling and got back to me a month later. Upon meeting Brendan, he was able to look through the various details of my employment situation and see that while it wasn't a black and white case, it had merit. My situation was particularly challenging, but Brendan proceeded with a plan that showed his knowledge and experience in employment law. From the beginning, he was clear about the steps we would take, and what that would mean for me. He worked with me to present the stronger points of my case precisely and effectively in such a way that it dispelled the misrepresented facts the opposition was using against us. In the end, due to his methodical, effective approach, he was able to negotiate a resolution that was in my best interest. I am very happy that I was able to find and hire him to handle my case. I would highly recommend him.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
