Cynthia Coughlin Hennessey

My husband worked for a very large company, (I can’t say who) that delivers packages worldwide. He fell off a loading dock 2 years ago, onto his back and head. He suffered an injury to his head and brain and has never returned to work and will never return to work. He has never been the same since.... He is depressed, has terrible memory problems, can’t concentrate, his mood has changed terribly. He is nothing like the man I married. Anyway, Cynthia Hennessey was our lawyer for the workmens comp case. Thank goodness we found her. As a nurse, she knew everything there was to know about head injuries. The workmens comp doctors all said there was nothing wrong with him, that he was faking. Cynthia believed him, and knew exactly what we were going through. She sent us to experts who finally did the correct testing, and took our case to trial. The judge was visibly upset with workmens Comp. He gave us everything we asked for, lifetime benefits, medical treatment and attendant care and all of our bills paid for. Again, thank goodness for Cynthia. I strongly recommend her for any type of brain injury or head injury.

Cynthia Hennessey represented my husband Jim with his car accident case. He was rear-ended by a pickup truck going 55 miles an hour. He needed neck surgery and missed almost 6 months of work. I was very lucky to find Cynthia. She promised she was fast with cases, that she didn’t just let them sit ...around. And she was right. She filed the lawsuit, and had all of our medical records and bills immediately. Our case went to mediation and we think our settlement was more than fair, thanks to Cynthia. We needed the money from the settlement very badly or we would have lost our house and everything with Jim not working. I would definitely use Cynthia again, and highly recommend her.

I never in a million years thought I would need a lawyer for a Workers Comp injury. I am a pharmaceutical sales rep and I fell down 5 stairs while carrying a load of work materials, I hurt my neck and couldn’t work. Workers Comp tried to deny this at first. It was then that I knew I needed a lawye...r. I researched and read up on every Workers Comp lawyer in St. Louis. I found Cynthia Hennessey, and I liked that she was a Nurse, a lawyer and also had worked for the insurance companies before. As well, I liked all the great reviews. I met with her, and immediately I knew I was in good hands. She was so nice and professional, I was sure I made a great choice. She filed for a hardship and won. So I started getting paid for the time I was missing. Workers Comp tried several more tricks to mess with me, but with each one, Cynthia immediately fought back, dragged them into court and won. My case ended with a good settlement. Of course my neck will never be the same again. But I was very, very happy to have had Cynthia as my lawyer and would use her again.

I went to Cynthia’s Workers’ Comp. 101 workshop in Collinsville because the lawyer I had wasn’t doing anything on my case. I learned more that evening than I ever thought possible. I fired my lawyer the next day and hired Cynthia. Cynthia had my case filed and ready for trial in 6 months. My ...other lawyer sat on it for a year. Cynthia was far better in court than the insurance company’s lawyer. He was unprepared, fumbled and stuttered and I could tell the judge just didn’t like him. Cynthia was extremely prepared, she had everything indexed and ready to go. Everything the Judge asked, Cynthia knew the answer to. It was obvious that the Judge liked her and respected her, that was clear. We got a great result from the trial judge. I was just very happy that I went to that workshop and met Cynthia. I highly recommend her.
