Marc Christopher Lenahan

We found Mr. Lenahan through the National Crime Victims' Bar Association. My husband and I were being harassed in our yards and in an on-line newspaper comment section by friends of the convict in a felony robbery case (my husband was the victim of the robbery). Mr. Lenahan was extremely helpful and ...responsive. He did some research, wrote some letters and we now have some peace. Mr. Lenahan was speedy, efficient and great with follow-up. The fact that he did not charge us for his time, (we were not seeking financial restitution, just an end to the harassment), shows that he truly cares about his clients.

Last May, 2010, my wife and daughter planned to attend the wedding of a friend of my daughter’s. The wedding was held at an estate of one of the most powerful attorneys in the nation. Upon arriving at the wedding, guests were being ushered from their car to the private chapel by groomsmen via golf ...carts provided by the lawyer. Unfortunately, due to the carelessness of the groomsman assigned to transport my wife and daughter to the chapel, my wife was seriously injured and never made it to the chapel from the car. In point of fact, she required emergency surgery. Despite a week’s time lapsing, for whatever reason, not one person involved stepped up to offer any assistance to us whatsoever towards the medical costs. In point of fact they were ignoring us. My wife and I were faced with the reality that we were “on our own.” As a result, while going through the trauma of her major surgery, and the news that my wife was facing a minimum of 30 days in a hospital and a rehabilitation facility, and 90 days in a wheelchair, to be followed up by the use of a walker and a cane and then subsequent months of physical therapy, we were left to wonder whether this incident would result in our financial ruin as we are both now nearing our retirement years. Having never been involved in a situation like this and totally understanding the complexity of the situation, I realized that I was in way over my head so I spoke to a couple corporate law attorneys I have contact with. They all gave me names of personal injury attorneys to contact. But they also all warned me that the individual whose property the incident occurred on happened to be one of the most powerful lawyers in the nation, and that it would be hard to find a lawyer willing to help. A corporate law attorney friend of mine suggested I call Marc because in “another life” he had faced Marc in a case and Marc had beaten him. Actually, he said “out worked him.” Together we called Marc and I relayed the facts of the case to him and specifically asked him if he was strong enough to take a case that could end up competing against one of the “best in the country.” In fact, I said, a guy who runs in the same circles as President Bush. Marc’s reply to me was that his style was simply to present the facts to the other side, discuss the case in a professional manner, and help both sides come to a mutual “win/win”. In February 2011, we settled our case without needing to sue or threatening to sue. My wife and I are now secure knowing that her future care is provided for. Marc and Kathleen made the whole process as painless and as convenient as possible for us. During a traumatic time filled with physical and emotional readjustments for our whole family, Marc and Kathleen handled all of the day-to-day details and negotiations of this situation for us. They did this without stressing us, without concerning us. We personally know for sure that without their help, we were facing future financial strain.

Dealing with insurance companies can be a daunting task if you’ve been hurt. Take it from me, I know this. The last thing you want to worry about when you’re laying in a hospital room or in your bed trying to recover from an accident or other traumatic event is dealing with an insurance adjuster. ...Make no mistake: these people are not your friends, and they are not there to help you. No matter what they tell you. Their job is to build a case against you and pay you as little as they can get away with doing, preferably paying you nothing at all. Marc and his firm will NOT let that happen to you. I tried to be civil with the insurance company after my accident, and I did everything you’re probably not supposed to do just trying to cooperate with them. They called me and asked me for a recorded statement, which I gave them. I told them that this was a clear cut case, and that it was obvious that I was not the one at fault in my situation. They agreed, and said that this would be taken care of. Just continue going to the doctor and getting treatment and we’ll take care of it. I told them that I’m not a greedy person or anything, and that all I wanted was my medical bills taken care of. I didn’t want any kind of other money or anything, I just wanted my bills paid. They said this shouldn’t be a problem. As you can probably guess, they tried to weasel out on me. They ended up trying to tell me I was half at fault and they were only going to cover half of my medical bills, and that I would not be eligible for pain and suffering or any other kind of compensation. It was at this point that I decided I probably needed to lawyer up, so I gave Marc a call. Best decision I’ve made in a long time. In our first conversation he told me that they were completely full of it, and that they owed me every bit of money that was on the other insurance policy, and he said he would get it for me. And he did. In less than a week. I had been dealing with these people on my own for 5 months, and he got them to pay up in 5 days. But it didn’t end there. Once the hospitals, doctors, and therapists figured out there was an insurance claim involved they tried to price gouge me. Marc and his colleagues weren’t having that either. He promised me that they would get those bills reduced to a reasonable level, so I could have some money to help take care of my other expenses while I was out of work. And he did. Make no mistake, everybody’s case is different. Some of these things get settled quickly, and some of them drag out. Unfortunately, mine was one of the ones that took a little longer due to lack of cooperation from the entities we were dealing with. That didn’t stop Marc and his partner Kathleen though. They stuck to their guns, never faltered, and never wavered. And after months of constant negotiations, the other side finally got tired of fighting and tapped out. Marc and Kathleen ended up getting them to settle for less than half of what I owed. These people are real. They actually care about their clients. They are a smaller firm, and they only deal with a few cases at a time, meaning they can take a much more personal focus on their clients. Throughout the entire process they were very easy to get in touch with, they kept me informed every step of the way, and didn’t mind answering any question I had at any point in time. If I ever find myself in a similar situation again or if I know somebody else that does I will not hesitate to give Marc’s firm a call again. This was an amazing experience from beginning to end, even when things got a little tough. I will forever be grateful for their excellent treatment of me. They came through for me and got results, and I believe they will do the same for you. So if you find yourself hurt in an accident or other traumatic type of event, you owe it to yourself to give Marc a call. These people are very good lawyers, and it will be one of the best calls you ever make. Good luck!

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.

My nightmare started June 5, 2006. I was employed by a large transportation company as a CDL driver. While dropping a load in Ft. Worth, I was pulling the kingpin to unhook the trailer from the truck. The kingpin was in a bind. After working with it for several minutes, my shoulder an...d back popped. The pain was instantly unbearable. I drove back to the terminal, and got into my own pickup to head home. Had to stop several times before making it home. After I made it home, I called the injured employee injury line, they advised me to go to the emergency room, which I did. Monday, I went to the doctor. He ordered a MRI of shoulder and back. This was when I found out that the company DID NOT have worker's comp and they were a NON_SUBSCRIBER, but had their own little "GENERIC WORKERS COMP POLICY." At first, we thought "well, it will all be okay, they will take care of my needs, so that I can get treatment and get back to work. NOT!! The MRI revealed torn rotator cuff, and 8 buldging discs. That is when I called and met with several attorneys in my area, which were all "SCARED" to take on a non-subscriber of workers comp. I was devastated at this point. I knew that the insurance company was not looking out for my best interest, and were not taking care of my medical needs, so that I could get back to work. I decided to search for attorneys in the Dallas area, and ran across SUPER LAWYER Marc Lenahan, and decided to call leave a message (because it was 8:00 p.m.) and I knew that there would be no one there at the office. But to my surprise, I left the message and Mr. Lenahan called me back immediately!!!!! I explained the injury circumstances to him, and he assured me that he was not afraid to take this case. He was so caring and understanding and explained how the case would be handled. He never backed down from the insurance company, He always answered my calls (even after hours), He always kept me informed of what was going on. He was always honest with me. Marc made me feel like family! I saw an Orthopedic surgeon for the shoulder, which I had surgically repaired and had physical therapy for months. Only to find out 5 months later that the rotator cuff was not healed properly, and would have to have more surgery. Marc settled my case within just a very short time. I was SO appreciative of all of his hard work, and Kathleen his nurse/attorney.......SHE IS GREAT! She was always on top of my medical issues and always answered my calls. I never had to wait to speak to her, and she is VERY knowledgeable! I want to Thank Marc and Kathleen for all of their hard work on my case, and for making sure that me and my family were taken care of!! THANKS GUYS!! I would recommend Marc Lenahan to anyone!! He is #1 in my book. Now I can have my second surgery done, then rehab back to normal and get back to work!!
