Cynthia Coughlin Hennessey

Cynthia Hennessey provided exceptional representation during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Her knowledge and experience in workers’ compensation law were evident from our first conversation. My case was medically and legally complex, yet she navigated every detail with confidence, pre...cision, and strategic insight. Throughout the process, Cynthia ensured I understood what to expect and consistently advocated for my best interests. She anticipated challenges, addressed obstacles proactively, and handled negotiations with strength and professionalism. Her depth of experience in workers’ compensation made an overwhelming system feel manageable and allowed me to focus on healing. She was particularly effective in addressing delays, denials, and administrative barriers that often arise in complex claims. Her persistence and ability to keep the process moving forward made a tremendous difference in both my care and my peace of mind. What truly sets Cynthia apart is her compassion. She recognized the emotional and physical toll this journey took and treated me with dignity, patience, and genuine care. I never felt like just another case — I felt heard, respected, and protected. Because of Cynthia’s dedication, perseverance, and expertise, I am able to move forward with peace of mind and security for the future. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking a workers’ compensation attorney who combines exceptional legal skill with true compassion for her clients.

Cynthia Hennessey successfully represented me “long distance” with a workmen’s compensation claim several years ago after I suffered a traumatic brain injury from a fall while at work. I give her my highest recommendation. She is a caring, knowledgeable, accomplished and very successful attorney. ...Although we never met in person, she always made time for calls when needed despite her very busy schedule.

Cynthia was very, very nice to me and my husband. I hurt my back and I first hired a law firm off of the TV commercials. It was terrible. All I ever got to talk to was a secretary, and couldn’t get anyone to answer my questions. I never even met the lawyer, and I felt like no one was fighting for m...e. I went to see Cynthia Hennessey at the Workers’ Comp 101 seminar for Injured Workers and I asked her immediately to take my case over. I fired the lawyer I had. Cynthia met with us for 2 hours, she filed a hardship for my benefits, and fought in court and won. I was very impressed when she gave me her cell phone number, I could text or call her anytime I had a question and always got a quick response. I don’t think the first lawyer ever even knew who I was. Cynthia treated us very personally. I will definitely call her if I ever get hurt again or if I know anyone who gets hurt.

I hired Cynthia to represent me in 2010. I fell on ice at work and tore my rotator cuff all the way through. I was tired of dealing with the insurance company claims adjuster. She just wasn’t that nice, she never returned my calls, kept delaying things. It was so nice to just hand the whole mess t...o Cynthia. She met with me personally, spent a long time getting to know me, and worked my case quickly and professionally. She and her staff are just plain nice to work with, always friendly, easy to talk to, and I always felt comfortable asking questions, and talking to them. We just settled this week, and I am very happy with the settlement. In fact, it is quite a bit more than I ever expected. I would hire Cynthia again.
