Marc Christopher Lenahan

A year and a half ago I was involved in a serious motorcycle (me) vs. car accident in which I sustained fairly serious injuries. As it’s not really my nature, I hesitated at first to make contact with a lawyer. Within a week or so after the accident (and despite that I was not at fault), it became cl...ear in speaking with the various insurance companies involved that I was about to be over my head. My wife made some initial contacts with attorneys based on friend, internet, and publications recommendations. They ran the gamut from somewhat inexperienced to “not interested unless the dollar figure will exceed XXXX”. By that time I was feeling well enough to do a bit of searching on my own…..and came up with name Lenahan law [based purely on internet research; Marc Lenahan also provides advice in various forums]. As she had done previously, my wife made initial contact with the firm via email. To our surprise, we received a phone call from Marc Lenahan within a few hours of hitting “send” [and, if I recall correctly, on a weekend]. Even more surprising, Marc was calling from Florida while near the end of his vacation. Marc presented a short but fairly comprehensive picture of how his firm worked and what to expect (including expenses), and asked that, should we consider them to represent us, we meet with him and his associates (Kathleen and Wes) in person. A few days later we did just that, and were convinced that we would be well-represented. Although Wes was the primary in our case, it was clear the entire group was involved throughout. As a rule, this seems to be the way they work, and it makes sense. Each of the attorneys has a different background that is brought to bear as appropriate in each case. It simply works. One of the principles on which Lenahan Law operates is that, when all is said and done, it comes down to the facts in the case and getting everyone to accept them as they are. Though this may take a while, I was comfortable knowing they were always working on the case. One particular thing that stands out in my mind (other than the fantastic way they handled the case) is the communication. Wes kept us updated pretty much every week. When decisions had to be made, the situation was clearly explained, as were our options [including pros and cons for each]. Answers to questions we might have had were only a phone call or email away. Calls were returned promptly if someone was not in the office at the time of the call, as were emails. It was also not unusual to have a call or email to Wes returned by Marc or Kathleen…..in those cases, it was very clear that each of them was quite up to date and involved in our case. As the case proceeded (at a time that I can’t pinpoint precisely), we came to feel that our case was not being “handled by lawyers” but, rather, that we were being taken care of (and our best interests being looked after) by good friends who happened to be very excellent lawyers. Overall, we are extremely happy in the way the case was handled. Marc, Wes, and Kathleen are excellent at what they do, and are also very personable and a pleasure to talk with. Should any friends or contacts ever need representation in cases of serious injury, I will have no reservations strongly recommending Lenahan Law.

Last December my wife was killed by a hit and run driver,I had to take her it Illinois to be buried. After the funeral and burial I was in a daze , and becoming angry because it looked like the person who hit her was going to get off Scott free. I called a few Texas lawyers and they blew me off.I ha...d just about given up when my brother in law contacted Marc.He talked to Marc ,then he called me and told me to get a hold of Marc. When I called his office I figured voice mail or a stand offishoffice girl. I was suprise that Marc pickup the phone.Marc put me at ease quickly with his clam attitue,he explained our options and said he would do what he could once he got the facts of the case. Within days he visted the site got a hold of the cops,sent pictures of the accident site explained how he was going to proceed. He explained the costs and a little bit of Texas law and how it differed from Illinois law,that said I decided he was the person who wouldd help me.Once we signed the papers he worked like a beaver to get it done. He moved with lightning speed,kept me informed along and gave me a good idea what ot expect. From start to finish it took about 5 months to get a favorable ruling,I received my check in June and now I can get on with my life thanks to Marc.

In the spring of 2011, I was struck from behind while riding my bicycle to work, rendering me a paraplegic (T9 complete). In the hospital, once I was stabilized and out of immediate danger, my wife began to search for an attorney to represent us, as we knew we were both over our heads with respect ...to the legal aspects of the situation, and distracted by the severity of my injuries and the ongoing procedures to try to repair the damage to my body and preserve as much function and potential for quality of life as possible. Our case proved to be unattractive to several personal injury legal firms because the driver who hit me had only the bare minimum required insurance in Texas and an unstable work history at near minimum wage jobs. Although the legal case for a large award was sound, even easy, it would be impossible to ever collect. Several firms declined to represent us as our case was not potentially lucrative enough for them to take a chance on helping us. That is, until my wife found Lenahan Law. I cannot say enough about Marc Lenahan, Kathleen, Michael and others in the firm who worked long hours to help us garner much needed funds to help with my expenses. They worked hard to understand my specific needs as the case proceeded, asking questions and showing compassion and empathy for my situation. They kept us fully informed as our case progressed through several complicated phases. Seldom did more than an hour pass before we received an answer to any question we asked via email. As we reached decision points from time to time about how to proceed, Marc or Kathleen presented our options and an assessment of the implications and likelihood of success with each option. They answered questions and gave us time to consider what we wanted to do. Once we made a decision, Lenahan Law personnel executed our decision with cheerful alacrity. Because of Marc and Kathleen’s professionalism, calm guidance, patience and perseverance, we were ultimately awarded some 97% of the total funding possible through auto and health insurance based recovery in our case. My wife and I also found the legal fees charged by Lenahan Law to be both reasonable and fully earned. There were several times in the process where the team could have advised us to just settle and get on with our lives, but in each case they asked us to let them try another tactic, and sometimes yet another tactic until ultimately we achieved the success I have reported here. I would without hesitation recommend Lenahan Law to my friends, family members and even my children if they found themselves in need of injury related legal help. Marc, Kathleen, Michael and all the others who worked on our case are to be commended for their professionalism, sincerity, compassion and tenacity. I extend my heartfelt thanks and my unreserved endorsement to Marc and the entire staff of Lenahan Law.

Marc Lenahan and Kathleen Kearney are not just wonderful attorneys but wonderful people. I was driving my children home from a children's party when we were hit from behind causing our SUV to roll 3 1/2 times. After attempting to deal w/ the insurance company, I could tell I needed legal assistance. ...I spoke with a friend who dealt w/ the "TV Attorneys" and knew that was not the route for me or my family. They were treated like a number and just "cranked through" the system. They never even spoke with an attorney. I went on to legal match website and was fortunate enough to be contacted by Marc. Marc and Kathleen showed great concern for me and my family and our well being. During the scariest time of my life these guys made a bad situation very manageable. Every email I sent, call or voicemail left was responded to within an hour by Marc or Kathleen themselves. We were fortunate enough to come to a fair settlement without going to court. I hope and pray I'll never be in a situation where I'd need their assistance again but If anything were to happen to me or my family again, they are on my speed dial. I highly recommend Lenahan Law and know that anyone who deals w/ Marc and Kathleen will have superb legal support and 2 new friends for life.

From someone who doesn’t trust lawyers, I have to say my experience with Marc and his firm was extraordinary. I’m a Military Veteran of 21 years, although I have been Blessed to make it through three wars without any significant damage. Nothing could prepare me for a 16 year old using a cell phone wh...ile driving. My family and I had only lived in Dallas for 8 month before the accident. We didn’t have any family to turn to during these troubling times and I have to say it must have been a gift from God that helped me find Lenahan Law. His ability to calmly and accurately communicate put my mind at ease the first time we talked. He’s an honest and ethical man that I only thought existed in the movies. Marc always kept me informed, anytime I called I never got put on hold and I always got my questions answered. If I had to describe Marc in only one sentence, “He’s the smart guy next door that will sit down and watch football with you and give you the shirt off his back if you need".
