Cynthia Coughlin Hennessey

I had a great experience with Cynthia Hennessey and her office. I fell at work and broke my ankle in three places requiring surgery with plates and screws. My recovery was long and drawn out. Cynthia was always great with keeping me posted as to what was happening with my case. I liked that she han...dles her cases from start to finish rather than shuffling the case to a young associate. She always knew exactly what was going on with my treatment. She was quick to obtain all my records, and settled my case with the insurance company shortly after I was released by the doctors. I feel I got a very fair settlement; in fact it was more than I expected. Overall, it was a very smooth experience, and I would choose Cynthia Hennessey again if I ever need an injury lawyer.

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.

Two years ago I slipped on an icy walkway while making a delivery for work (I am a truck driver). I didn’t know any lawyers. I was referred to Cynthia Hennessey from my friend at work. He hired Cynthia for a case and had nothing but great things to say about her. I wound up needing surgery on my... neck for a disc and my shoulder for a rotator cuff repair. By the time I was done treating, work wouldn’t take me back because I wasn’t 100% and I was pretty sure I couldn’t get any other company to hire me at 57 years old with these injuries. Cynthia fought Workman’s Comp to get me benefits from them. Then she fought Social Security Disability. Meanwhile we also had a case against the company that owned the property (I can’t say who because it is confidential). We had a formal mediation for that case in front of a judge, and wound up getting a very good settlement that compensates me for my wages and other benefits that I am out as well as for pain and suffering. Cynthia was always very nice to deal with. I never felt like I was bothering her when I called, and I called a lot. I have heard a lot of horror stories from other people about their lawyers, but Cynthia was great. I highly recommend her
