Mr. Hennessey was my attorney many years ago, but from reading his reviews he has only continued to his greatness as an attorney... He represented me in a criminal case that started with me facing life. He always made sure to encourage me and let me know not to worry. During my case he fought so hard for my freedom and to ensure the courts treated me right that he ended up with a charge himself (which I believe was dismissed latter) for contempt of court from a shady judge. Well from that threat of life and after a lengthy trial I walked away with a sentence that was worthy of my crime. I never came to Mr. Hennessey an innocent man, I knew I did wrong and deserved punishment but Mr. Hennessey made sure that's what I got. Ive been out for some time now and have a good life now, and I honestly give Mr. Hennessey much credit for fighting so hard to allow me to have this second chance at life... There were actually 3 of us in this case and although we all had our own attorneys Mr. Hennessey fought so hard for all of us that we all ended up coming home from this case. Believe me if you want or need an attorney who will fight to the end for you and who knows his stuff then Sean Hennessey is the lawyer you want in your corner...
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 reassured me that everything will be okay. I really don't know where I would be if it wasn't for Sean. He saved me thousands of dollars on lawyer fees and gave me my peace of mind back. If you need a lawyer who knows the system like the back of his hand, who has your best interest in mind, and someone who isn't trying to suck the living financial blood out of you, I highly recommend Sean D. Hennessey. Thank you again Sean, I can't thank you enough!
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 different police reports for my case and brought to light all the things the police lied about to get the case to stick. Sean is like a pit bull in the court room with still being beyond professional. If your case has a lot of issues or you simply just want someone that will actually be thorough and do what they say, get Sean.
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
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 ten steps ahead and makes very intellectual decision and his timing is superb. I feel that he could read my mind and know what I want. He had my case closed sooner than anticipated and I am so glad and proud to have met him. I feel that he would be an asset to any type of situation that he may encounter and represent .
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.
Mr. Hennessey represented me in a case where I was facing possible life in prison. My case went to a jury trail and lasted for 7 days. Mr. Hennessey proved to the jury how the allegations being made against me did not make any sense. Furthermore, Mr. Hennessey demonstrated how the police did virtually no real investigation into my case. Mr hennesseys investigators did a thorough investigation and the jury found me not guilty of all the charges. I would highly recommend Mr. Hennessey to anyone that is facing a legal matter.
I was referred to Sean Hennessey by a friend. Having heard how he was able to help for my friend. I sought his council immediately. Sean was there for me. He kept me informed and feeling confident about my case. When your in trouble with the law, its important to have a knowledgeable attorney like Sean on your side.
Mr. Hennessey represented me on two different serious cases. On both cases I was facing more than 20 years on each case. On each case Mr. Hennessey fought the police and the District Attorney’s Office. On the first case where I was facing multiple strike felonies, gang crimes and was being offered between 10-20 years. Ultimately the case settled for a non-strike felony after Mr. Hennessey cross examined the gang officers for over two days. The gang charge was ultimately dismissed by the District Attorney’s Office. The Judge during that case yelled at the gang officer because he would not answer any of the questions Mr. Hennessey was asking. On the second case I was again charged with multiple strike felonies cases and was facing a minimum sentence of 15 years. Mr. Hennessey conducted a thorough investigation and proved that most of the allegations were made up by the alleged victims. Mr. Hennessey was able to negotiate the case down to a misdemeanor and I was given credit for time served. I would highly recommend Mr. Hennessey. He is an extremely knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer and is very knowledgeable about gangs and the gang laws. Also Mr. Hennessey is able to cross examine police officers and point out to the Court the police are not being truthful. Kevin H.
I am an ordinary mom that wants to help her son. Unfortunately, my son has made his share of bad decisions and is being targeted by the Newport Police department. The press with the help of the Newport police tarnished my son by putting him in the newspaper as the head of a string of paddle board thieves. They went as far as putting his whole criminal record in the paper which was blown out of proportion and portrayed him as a monster. The emotional and collateral damage this has done to our family has been tragic. I did talk to several attorneys who had no time to listen to me or to help me understand the circumstances. Attorney Sean Hennessey was referred to me by another attorney. I was stunned that he answered the phone himself and the many texts he wrote to me explaining all the facts. He was kind and attentive while providing me with accurate legal advice. I was amazed that he had such a high level of integrity. I have not hired Sean as of yet due to other personal matters, but if I do seek counsel it will be with him. And I will recommend him to everyone I know. This man is truly trustworthy and committed to his job.
