Effective Attorney, successful where others wouldn't even try

I came to Brendan with a highly unconventional case, where I was contesting the results of a drug test with my future employer (and a rescinded offer). Other attorneys may have turned this case down (and in fact did) due to it's potential difficulty. Brendan took the time to analyze my situation care...fully, asked insightful questions, and became my lawyer. His team moved quickly and after I personally slogged for several weeks with the employer, Brendan compelled them to retest me in a matter of days. This is a testament to his deep knowledge of labor law. From our first consult Brendan was able to propose an effective plan of attack, which he also clearly articulated to me. Through it all, I felt Brendan went the extra mile to both research and understand my situation. My case was a complete success and my offer was promptly reinstated. Should I have any future labor-related concerns I would confidently turn to Brendan's office first.

Brendan Hennessy recently tried a case for me in Chester County and won full damages plus attorneys fees. Brendan's command of the law and court room presence made it a slam dunk! Brian Chester County Electric

Excellent choice for quality and reasonably priced legal representation in PA

I had the unfortunate pleasure of working with Brendan on a legal matter involving a former employer attempting to enforce a non compete and non solicitation agreement that was only obtained by a promise of stock options that were then never delivered. On top of that, I live and always worked for thi...s employer on the west coast, but they brought this action in Pennsylvania, almost 3,000 miles away. Fortunately I found Brendan amongst a large group of possible attorneys in the PA area with a large range of pricing. One attorney wanted $100,000 just to look at the case. Needless to say I ended up retaining Brendan and was very happy with my choice. Brendan proved himself to be very knowledgeable regarding employment law and just that alone saved me money in research and other unnecessary costs that I would have most likely ended up paying if I had hired another attorney/firm. Brendan made certain I was kept informed every step of the way and worked on my behalf at all hours of the day and night and even while on a family vacation was making calls to me and to opposing counsel. I would recommend Brendan without hesitation to anyone needing professional and compassionate legal representation.

Best money ever spent

Brendan was so sharp and knowledgeable. He picked up on several points during our consultation that ultimately lead to representing me in my favor and avoiding litigation in court. He was also actually fun to talk to. I would highly recommend his services.

  • 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.
