About Marc

Biography

Marc is a widower in addition to being a nationally respected wrongful death lawyer with dozens of million and multi-million-dollar results. He understands your loss.

The Lenahan Law Firm - with its Principal Office in Dallas - helps the severely injured and those that lost a loved-one, all across Texas, New York & in North Dakota. We absolutely represent victims of 18-wheeler accidents all across the U.S.A. And we persue international terrorism cases in the unique D.C. Federal Court that handles those fights. Severe injury law is all we do.

Because we represent only a select number of clients at a time, you will get the personal attention you deserve. We suggest asking every attorney you interview this question, "How many cases and how many attorneys are in your firm?" And make them put the answer in writing. We always have less than ten cases per attorney. But, yes, there are firms with several hundred cases per attorney.

Mr. Lenahan is one of the most accomplished attorneys in the country. You can confirm that for yourself with a look at his results, or by checking the kind reviews his clients have posted on this site.

And, in 2018, he was asked to serve as the Chairman of the Board for the National Compassion Fund, a charity recommended by the FBI.

And though Marc has received many "honors," he'll will be the first to tell you that many great attorneys have few honors, and many unimpressive ones have plenty. Honors don't mean that much to him. In fact, many can be bought. Instead, he suggests, reading what the attorneys' clients have said about them. We think you'll find that Mr. Lenahan's reviews are second to none, and he takes great pride in the kind words of his clients.

The Firm's Appellate Law Partner is P. Wes Black. He is Board Certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. As lead appellate counsel in over 100 proceedings, Wes has practiced before state and federal courts at all levels, including the Texas Supreme Court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to representing clients in court, Wes obtained valuable judicial experience working for a Court. He served as the briefing attorney for the Chief Justice of the Tenth Court of Appeals.

Our Firm's Litigation Partners is Tom Cowart. Tom is also Board Certified in Civil Appellate Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Before joinging the Lenahan Law Firm, Tom was the muscle behind some of the biggest litigation in the State of Texas.

The Firm is paid on a contingency-fee, plus court costs and expenses basis; which means we only get paid if we find a way to help. We have NEVER asked a client to write us a check. Never.

The consultation and call are always free. Day or night, from anywhere at all, your call is always welcome, toll-free. Call now, and ask to speak to Marc, PERSONALLY.

Marc married his school sweetheart, Elaine, in 1999, and lost her unexpectedly in 2022. You can read all the amazing person she was on the Firm's website.

Posted by Kevin | January 30, 2012 | Arbitration

A lawyer who is a man of his word!

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.
