Knowledgeable attorney, reasonable rates

I am satisfied with the way Mr. Hennessy and his team handled my case. Mr. Hennessy is very intelligent and knowledgeable in the area of employment law. His assistant Margaret was very friendly and helpful too. Mr. Hennessy was honest and I could trust him. He evaluated my case and provided an extens...ive initial analysis for free while other attorneys charged a lot of money for a basic initial consultation. My case was fairly straight forward and Mr. Hennessy acheived great results for me. Also, his rates were very reasonable, so I am glad I hired him.

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.

Did great Job!

Attorney Hennessy and I recently worked with a client who was dealing with several legal issues which required knowledge and experience in different areas of law. Attorney Hennessy was very professional and did a great job. I enjoyed working with him. I would do it again.

Improper cases

Mr. Hennessey has done great job of winning unfair employment related cases. He is a Man Of His Words in terms of attorney fee. He has speedy reading habits and prepare the important documents. He always brought important citations to win the case and recommended the right approach to resolve case in... short span of time. He is a subject matter expert in the field of law. I have referred Mr. Hennessey to my friends and they hired him for their services and was pleased with his support. Also Mr. Hennessey got big victory in my friend’s cases. I highly recommend The Hennessy Law Firm services.
