Nothing but positive!

Attorney Lenihan is a great listener, moved quickly & was very professional with me. I will definitely utilize his services again if I have any legal matter that he is willing to take on.

Great lawyer!

He took my case last minute thankfully.and he was really good cross examining the people who were taking me to court . He was great about communication and getting back to me in a timely manner.

Untrustworthy and nonresponsive

Mr. Lenihan was hired to represent me in two legal matters. He was repeatedly unresponsive to texts, emails and phone calls regarding questions about my cases. When I did receive answers, they were vague at best. Then here is the kicker and the best part, 7 days before my court date he decides to rem...ove himself as my counsel by sending a letter to my office, which I don’t go to every day, not my home! Leaving me to scramble to find a new attorney before my court date in 7 days! I would NOT recommend him. You should have an attorney who is responsive and reliable.

Absolutely terrible!

Hired to represent me in a custody suite against an abusive father, lied repeatedly, did not inform me of deadlines by opposing counsel or court dates. Had meeting with opposing counsel and made decisions without informing me or getting my consent. Lied about judges ruling, does not respond to emails... or phone calls. When he does answer he is vague and unprepared. Terrible decision to hire him, had to spend double to hire another lawyer who did in one day what he couldn’t do in 6 months.
