Zack Hendon Law Firm- On Your Side for the Long Haul

I appreciate Zack and Rose tremendously for their service and care over these last several years ( since 2012). I don't reember how I found Zack but I'm glad I did. So many attorneys in the Atlanta area were not accepting these specific kinds of cases. Zack had always been honest about this being an uphill climb because the party hadn't settled cases in many years, but we made it to the finish line . I appreciate them hanging in there with me. I certainly wouldn't have closure without the Zack Hendon Law Firm.

BEST WC ATTORNEY!!!

Zack and Rose are absolutely AMAZING!!!! Zack is very very professional and very thorough with his cases!!! I am very very happy with the outcome of my case! My case was VERY VERY exhausting and hard…it turned out to be a LOT harder than we had predicted…..thankfully we ended up settling…..& I didn’t have to worry about dealing with weekly benefits….& going to court and the insurance company appealing my case and having to wait another YEAR or so for my weekly benefits to kick in AND for my neck surgery to be approved……so NOT ONLY was Zack able to get me a GREAT SETTLEMENT but I’m now able to move forward w my neck surgery, I’m able to move forward with this my personal injury case and I’m able to actually BREATHE…..bc I was DROWNING before….literally….financially, mentally, & physically….this case has taken everything out of me…but Zack and Rose have been so wonderful and made everything move as fast possible—knowing that I’ve needed neck surgery ASAP….I can’t thank Zack ENOUGH….I truly love these people!! They are FAMILY…..and I hope that I’ll never need a WC attorney again but if I do—I’ll DEF be coming back to Zack again! Thanks Y’all! I love you guys!! ❤️Holly R

Truly Good People

Zack and his paralegal Rose are a truly, personable, patient and compassionate team. I have first hand experience of Zack’s willingness to freely give of his time and knowledge to help perspective clients better understand their options pertaining to their difficult situation. When Rose answered my call and after just a couple questions transferred me right to Zack I immediately new why this is a firm that stands out among the others. Zack answered all of my questions allowing me to thoroughly weigh all of my options. At no point did I ever feel any pressure to commit to something that I wasn’t ready for. As someone who has experienced Zack’s prominent desire to help those that have been injured on the job It is without trepidation that I recommend the Hendon Law Firm. These are truly good people.

Excellent Attorney

Zack Hendon and his team are great to work with. He handled 2 cases for me and always kept me informed. If you had a question he or his assistant would answer promptly. I recommend this law firm for any worker's compensation claim.

Posted by Larry | August 1, 2020

I was blown away by this law firm

I was in a worker’s compensation case and looked for a lawyer I searched online and saw several great reviews on Hendon Law firm. I called three different ones though and all had answering machines except Zack he answered personally Ann I know very quickly that he was the one I needed. Zack and Rose have been the best thing that happened in my case. They were prompt honest and professional not working for their paycheck but mine I feel like I was treated with respect and professionalism. I would recommend them to anybody and I already have. Give them a call you will not be disappointed.

The best decision was hiring Zack

Zack Hendon was amazing and a true blessing to our family. He and his team were on top of every issue no matter how large or small. He knew every aspect of the law as it related to our case. As decisions arose in our case, Zack would explain in plain language our options and how each option may effect our case. It was a comforting feeling knowing we had someone so knowledgeable looking out for our family's best interest. The best decision we made, for the best outcome of our case, was hiring Zack Hendon.

Definitely one of the best attorneys in town.

Zack and his team are absolutely amazing. The preparation that Zack did on my case is more then most attorneys would do. I feel Zack really knew his stuff and would recommend his services to anyone. Zack and his team went above and beyond to get an outcome that was pleasing to me. He is a real go getter and will fight hard on your behalf. Whenever I had a question Zack was always available to answer anything I needed. I was never given the runaround by his staff. Once again if you are needing an attorney, zack is the man for the job. I would definitely want Zack and his team in my corner.

Professional and compassionate

There are lots of lawyers who are competent, but iit is unique to find someone who cares about you as a person. I was lucky when I found Zac Hendon and his exceptional office manager Rose . Through the ups and downs of my case they stayed focused and supported me to the end. I happily write this review and give them my personal thanks for all they did for me.

High Recommendation for Hendon Law Firm in helping the average person seek resolution and recovery

I am a middle-aged, experienced driver with no previous car accidents. As I recently suffered injuries from a serious three-car vehicular accident, I was not sure how to navigate in fighting for my rights with the large insurance companies for resolution with both my personal injuries and my property damage. Zack Hendon, made this overwhelming process an easy one. His experience to sort through the complicated legal and medical issues and stand up to the insurance companies lifted this burden from me allowing me to focus on healing and recovery. Despite the insurance companies strong push to settle the claim at a minimal amount, Zack Hendon's insight and tenacity generated quick results in getting me the settlement deserved. His track record demonstrates that he will exhaust every possible means of recovery to fight for his clients. I am very grateful for his genuine care, concern, and advocacy in helping me through this experience.

he took care of everthing, he is a very attentive and knew all the right answers to all my questions.

When i was injured at work, it took me 5-7 months to decide to contact a lawyer, i was still in pain, could not do my job, get a bath, do the ordinary things in life with out being very painful. after i contacted him he got me to another dr, got the test i needed in the first place, and it showed that i did have a very serious injury and it required surgery. the insurance could have cared less. in the end he got my medical coverage that i needed and a great settlement.
