Unwinnable is Winnable with Hennessy

When I first began my search for an attorney, I called DOZENS and spent over a week meeting with attorneys in fancy high rises all over Northern Virginia. But, every single one declined to take my case, saying it was a done deal loss. When I called Mr. Hennessy, he was extremely respectful and wa...s open to meeting with me. He looked over the case and admitted that it was a difficult one, but he was confident there was a decent argument none of those attorneys had thought of. Not only did Hennessy not charge me an arm and a leg, but he and his staff walked me through every step-- keeping me informed and confident that I had a great team on my side. I went through two lawsuits with Mr. Hennessy, both initiated by the same family member. The first one he had dismissed within minutes in the courtroom. The second (the more difficult one), Mr. Hennessy, had it DISMISSED before I was even asked to testify. Now THAT is someone you need on your side. I had such a great experience that I recommended Hennessy to all my friends and convinced my own mother to hire him. When you pick an attorney to represent you, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not choosing Hennessy. I would HIGHLY recommend Hennessy for complicated family matters and lawsuits.

Employment related case

I have been referred to Mr. Hennessy by a person who also got involved in the lawsuit by the same consulting firm. I must say it was my best decision to appoint Mr. Hennessy as my attorney. Mr. Hennessy has handled the case professionally and won the case. Thank you!

Property Damage Settlement - Won Settlement

I was referred to Tom Hennessy through a relative. Tom was able to settle a difficult case regarding damage to my property. He filed all of the paperwork in a timely manner, kept in contact with the opposing party to settle in my favor, and stood up for me when I felt like I did not have a voice whil...e dealing with a large insurance company. His team is very kind and it was a pleasure to work with them during my case.

Wow, the best employment lawyer for the job!!!

I was very impressed by how Mr. Hennessy handled my case. He is extremely intelligent with an extensive knowledge of the Law. His team, Margaret and Steve were amazing at filing things in a timely matter and just extremely pleasant to work with. Mr. Hennessy really takes the time to hear you out and ...most importantly I trusted him. He empathized with me and gave me a voice when I felt I had none and defended me to the very end. He got me a great settlement. If you feel as if you've been wronged in the workplace this is the only man for the job. His integrity is unmatched and just a great guy overall. Good job Team!!!!!!!!!
