This man is a blessing to the people
I was struggling with my first offense and had no idea what was going to happen to me. I stressed beyond belief and I couldn't eat nor sleep. Out of the 15 attourneys Ive discussed my case with, Sean was the only one who walked me through the process, explained my worst and best case scenarios, and...

When no one else listened!
My case was plagued with lots of police misconduct and violation of my rights. Every attorney I got was "ready" to fight or so they said until they got the retainer. All my previous attorneys wanted me to settle for ridiculous plea deals. Sean was the only attorney that was able to uncover 2 differen...

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
SIMPLY THE BEST LAWYER. Sean was very professional. He went to battle for me, just one doctor, against the government. And he proved my innocence. Couldn't recommend a better lawyer. DR. T

Best of the Best!
I had consulted three attorneys before I retained Mr. Hennessey to represent me with my case in 2008. It was after a brief consultation. I found him to be confident, honest, professional,compassionate , sensitive but yet aggressive. I admire his energy and wisdom all at the same time. He's always te...

Excellent representation
Mr. Hennessey's representation was most helpful in my case. His strong knowledge of the law and quick actions proved the allegations against me were incorrect and unwarranted. I would highly recommend his services to friend's and family. He is easy to work with and a man you can put your trust in.
"I have known Sean Hennessey for well over 15 years. Simply put, one of the best cross-examiners that I have ever met in my 20 years of practice as a Lawyer. Sean is a skilled criminal defense and personal injury lawyer. More importantly, he cares about his clients and is committed to fighting for their cause. The fact is he is relentless and an outstanding advocate. I highly recommend Attorney Sean Hennessey."
"I have known Sean professionally for nearly 20 years. IMO he is probably the best cross-examiner in Orange County. Whether civil or criminal his preparation is always top notch and his questioning tenacious. If you have to go trial criminally or have a tough civil case where the defense is a well-funded corporation or government entity, Sean is definitely a lawyer you consider."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Sean on a felony trial several years ago resulting in a not guilty verdict. He is a skilled trial lawyer and is passionate about his client."
"Sean is a zealous advocate and skilled trial lawyer. I first met Sean over fifteen years ago - we successfully defended two young clients accused of attempted murder. Both clients were exonerated at trial - the jury found them not guilty. I would not hesitate to work with him again."
"I've known Sean for close to 10 years and witnessed his work both first hand and through word of mouth of trusted attorney colleagues. Based on this experience, I feel one hundred percent confident giving him the highest endorsement possible. In fact, I've received a few civil litigation referrals over the years from friends and family. These are important cases because they involve people I care about. Civil cases are beyond the scope of my expertise, and the one and only attorney that I trust to refer these cases to is Sean Hennessey. He is a tireless advocate for his clients. He always seems to have the right answer at his fingertips. Let me put it this way, if I personally needed an attorney, Sean Hennessey would be my guy."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. He is an excellent trial attorney and will go to great lengths to ensure his clients get the best representation possible."
"I have over 38 years of lawyering experience. Over a 15 year span, I’ve worked with, and observed Mr. Hennessey in numerous juvenile cases, and criminal cases, including reading transcripts of his trials. If any member of my family should ever need a lawyer in a criminal or juvenile setting, Mr. Hennessey would be my first choice for representation. His litigation instincts, particularly his cross-examination skills, are amongst the best in Orange County."
"I have worked with Sean on various matters over the last several years and there is no lawyer in Southern California who fights harder for his clients than Sean. He is fearless in his representation and backs down from no one. He is a skilled trial lawyer who understands the nuances of being in front of a jury. I endorse Sean wholeheartedly."
