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!

Posted by Allen H | May 20, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

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!!!!!!!!!

Unacceptable treatment

Please stay away from this person. I suspected that he was up for harm and disservice because he had made absolutely no preparation for my case before a critical meeting. He destroyed me. I had absolutely no support, no representation and he sided with my enemies cold blood. Is there anybody, any Off...ice out there that can hold individuals of this kind accountable for malpractice? Does the Bar Association care at all?

Horrible Attorney

Tom Hennessy made my case worse. He is incompetent as a divorce attorney. He made my case a complete disaster. This is your Warning* Find another attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
