Lenahan Law is the firm to take care of your needs!

Contacting Lenahan Law about my motorcycle accident was the best choice I could have made. Marc and his staff made the experience so stress free. Never would I have believed that they could put me at ease about the nightmare I had entered. I was assured that I did not have to deal with the pressure...s of dealing with the insurance company, hospitals, doctors, etc... And I didn't. The weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders. Thank you so much Marc Lenahan. You all exceeded all of my expectations. Your experience shows.

Highly Recommended

From the first time I contacted Marc, he was quite accommodating and helpful in every aspect. He visited us in the hospital the very next day and explained our options clearly and concisely. Every step of the way, no matter what questions or concerns we had, he was always available to deal with them ...right away. His professionalism and expertise were critical as we had no previous experience in legal matters of this nature. The most amazing thing was how he always made us feel like a priority even though I'm sure that ours was a relatively modest case.

Wrongful death of son and personal injury to daughter in law

If you are in need of a lawyer for wrongful death or personal injury, I want to take this opportunity to strongly recommend Marc Lenahan and his superb team. After a search on the internet, my family hired Marc and his team over four years ago. My son and his wife was hit head on by a drunk driver wi...th no drivers license. My son was killed, and his wife critically injured. This case sounds simple enough, but there were circumstances that tied this vehicle to his employer and their insurance companies. After learning all this, really I didn't think the case was winnable. But Marc and his wonderful team persisted for almost four years and settled for the full amount of the suit without having to go to court. This by the way, was the second largest settlement in the state of Texas for the year 2013. I am proud to endorse Marc and all his legal team. They are people of great integrity and loyalty, as well as being personal friends. Marc drove three hours to attend my grand daughter's wedding which was long before we knew the outcome of this case. He also made many other trips to my daughter in laws family. After all is said and done, Marc and his team never gave up when all the odds were seemingly against them, and for this my family and I will forever be grateful. If I would ever need an attorney, his number would be the first one I would call. Thanks Marc, H. M.

Leads a Great Team

I was in a hit and run automobile accident that was not my fault 9 months ago. I was in the hospital, my body was sore and bruised. I was wondering what I should do. My husband and I knew we could not handle all of the medical bills, insurance company, and all other wreck related issues ourselves. W...e had heard about Lenahan Law through a friend, and decided to go with Lenahan’s Nurse Attorney Kathleen Kearney. Since Ms. Kearney has a background in both nursing and law we felt she would be a great choice, and we were right! Kathleen was constantly keeping us informed by e-mails and by phone about the progress of the case. She also managed to get a stubborn insurance company to cooperate. We couldn't believe how easy Kathleen and Marc made this whole process. Thanks to Lenahan Law Firm, we received a settlement that was beyond our expectations. What seemed like it would take years to settle only took 9 months thanks to the team at Lenahan Law. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Bicycle Accident

On August 7, 2012, while riding my bicycle I was struck by an automobile. I remember waking up as they were wheeling me into the ambulance. Although I have no memory of the accident, apparently I was knocked unconscious to the ground. This bent my bicycle frame and wheel and also broke my bicycle ...helmet. The witness said she saw my head bounce three times. According to the police report, the driver was clearly at fault as she turned into my lane in a crosswalk. At first I only thought my wrist was broken, but after a month I was having balance problems. My wife noticed I was dragging my feet, then one day I fell to the ground and could not get myself up. After a brain scan, it was discovered I had a large deposit of blood on my brain that required major surgery. There were other complications to follow as well requiring other hospitalizations. As the medical bills were mounting up, it soon became apparent I would need some professional legal help. At first we began to solicit friends for referrals. We interviewed 3 different attorneys. They were either unprofessional, disorganized or uncaring about my well-being only what they could make out of my case. Then my wife began searching the Internet for help. One day she showed me an article written about attorney Marc Lenahan. We called and set up an appointment. Marc’s office is neat and comfortable and he in his casual attire was relaxed but very professional. We then met his staff that included Kathleen Kearney an attorney and Registered Nurse. She proved extremely valuable in all medical issues as she understood the medical codes, issues, etc. We hired their firm. Since I had never been involved with a lawsuit before, I had so many questions and every one of my calls or emails were answered promptly and handled with patience and honesty. Marc and his associates treated us like family. I have heard of settlements taking years to complete. Our results are amazing… 1) After only 7 months from date of injury, Marc was able to negotiate a settlement in the full policy limits from two insurance companies. 2) Kathleen was competent in negotiating a subrogation claim discount of almost 50% from our health carrier saving us thousands of dollars that we would have to pay back. I would recommend Marc Lenahan and his office to anyone needing a competent, honest and caring attorney. Ken W.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
