Marc Christopher Lenahan

Long story short-While I was at work I was involved in a MVA where a large 30 ton delivery vehicle which ran a red light and hit me broadside on the driver side. There was a 2 1/2 foot impact into the engine compartment. I was briefly knocked out and was in a great deal of pain. The emergency resp...onse crews had to extricate me from the vehicle and I was transported to the hospital. This ordeal lead to 3 surgeries due to the injuries sustained. Two were on my neck and involved a procedure where my vertebrae were fused. One was on my shoulder. I tell that part of the story to be able to tell the next portion. Marc was not the stereotypical picture of a lawyer that I had in my head. In fact just the opposite. He wasn't rushed when we spoke about my case. He listened to all my questions and gave me straight forward answers. I was very surprised by his matter of fact style. He did not sugar coat the process or promise me a huge settlement. Marc however did promise that should I choose to hire him, I would receive competent representation from he and his staff, I would also receive updates throughout the process and that I could call him anytime I needed reassurance and/or guidance. The thing that I liked the most of what he told me came with his firm's representation, was that he and his associates would see my family and I through this ordeal, that they cared what happened to us (they actually called after my surgeries to see how I was doing). I am happy to say I can verify that he was a man of his word. Additionally, I can verify that everyone in his firm I worked with was just as professional and caring as Marc. I can tell you that this process was one of the most difficult things I have ever gone through. As a plaintive you will feel treated like you are the one who did something wrong, that injuries from your past are the cause of your current problems regardless of the fact you were run over by a truck (or whatever may have been the cause of your injuries). You will be asked for all kinds of personal medical information and have to sign releases to allow the release of your medical records etc. Your case may go to arbitration and you will need someone that knows how to get you through the process. Certainly if you go to a trial in your case, I know for me at least I would have been a basket case thinking of all ways they would try to twist the facts, you will want a lawyer who can litigate competently and get you through what would surely be a trying experience. I can almost assuredly promise you that this will likely end up being, at times one of the most frustrating things you've experienced. In the paragraph above I am not telling you all these these things to dissuade you. No, I am giving you these reasons and trust me there are many more I have not mentioned, to encourage you to seek representation. Not just any representation though. You need representation you can trust, that you know is competent and genuinely has your best interests at heart. I wouldn't have made it through the quagmire of events that transpired as a result of the accident I was involved in without Marc and his firm. I will willingly talk to anyone seriously considering hiring Lenahan Law who wants or needs more information. Give Marc a call and give him your number and I will call and talk with you. A few other things to note I will turn 50 this year, I am a professional firefighter, I am not easily impressed and in all my years I have sat down to write something like this positive review a total of two times, this being the second.

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.

After about a month of searching a friend told me about this site (avvo) and told me people go on here and rate their experiences with the lawyers they have used in the past/present. I saw that Marc and his firm had a significantly higher rating than most of the other lawyers on the site as well as e...xcellent reviews, so i decided to give him a call. It turns out that this was the best decision i couldve made. Marc and Kathleen fought for me and kept me in the loop the entire time, always calling and emailing me with updates. They really made me feel like family, and their dedication to get me the most money for my wreck did not go unnoticed. In the end, Marc and Kathleen won me $75,000. If youre injured and in need of a lawyer, look no further because Marc, Kathleen, and the rest of the Severe Injury Law Firm will never stop fighting to get you what you deserve. Thanks Severe Injury Law Firm!!

Throughout the 3 years that our case has been with Marc Lenahan, he has kept us informed through every step of our case, while at the same time answering every question that we had and answering any doubts that we had throughout the case. He fought for every action and was at our side for all this ti...me and we are truly grateful for him and there could be no better lawyer than him.

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.
