“I was referred to Johnny Denenea …to help a client of mine who had come down with Legionnaires Disease …I found him quite knowledgeable about the disease, the law that applied to the case, and the court processes we would go through. He listened to the client and to me, and then he built a case statement and trial notebook that led to a resolution that was far better than our client’s earliest hopes. As referring lawyer and co-counsel on the file, he was fair with me and my firm. If a client has a Legionnaires’ Disease case anywhere, I will call Johnny first.”
