First Rate Representation

I was referred to Hennessy Law and so happy for the recommendation. I was more than happy with the Firm's commitment and persistence in representing my interests. You do not want to be on the opposing side of Brendan Hennessy, Kay Seven and their team. They are brilliant employment attorneys with ...a fierce work ethic and well-respected reputation. They went above and beyond to handle my employment case with passionate, unfaltering dedication. Brendan is extremely committed and took genuine care throughout the entire process. I would recommend Hennessy Law in a heartbeat to anyone who needs first rate representation.

Outstanding legal advice!

Mr Hennessy was simply excellent. He provided outstanding legal advice. I spoke to him about my issue with a nanny agency sending me a false bill, and in less than an hour he found a provision and legal precedent that showed their perpetual term to be invalid. He drafted a letter (on a Friday night)... and responded to several emails and his rates are very reasonable. (They should be higher!) I cannot recommend him more!

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.

The perfect lawyer to hire for employment issues

I hired Brendan through a referral from another lawyer after explaining why I thought I was terminated wrongfully. During our initial meeting, I left feeling that he was the lawyer that I wanted to represent me. He was caring, a great listener, extremely knowlegable, and honest. He handled the mediai...ton process extremely professionally, worked hard to resolve my case and I always felt that he was acting in my best interest. I would highly recommend Brendan to anyone that is having employment issues. He is an excellent lawyer, extremely versed in his speciality, honest, and confident!!

Highly recommended Attorney!

I would highly recommend Brendan Hennessy if you are looking for a caring, honest, compassionate, and precise attorney who will fight hard for you. Brendan went over and above to help me in my time of need. He was very personable and empathetic and spent many hours researching and investigating my... employment separation case. If it weren’t for Brendan’s compassion and conviction I don’t believe I would have had the same favorable outcome. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to my family and friends for any future legal matter. Thank you Brendan!

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.
