About Joseph F. Hennessey

I have been in the criminal justice system for over 36 years. I practice primarily in criminal defense but also take personal injury cases and excessive force cases/ civil rights cases working closely with a civil rights attorney in the Worcester area. Prior to becoming an attorney I was a police officer for 23 years where I was assigned to 3 regional drug task forces working undercover for approximately 7 1/2 years As a police officer I was trained in fingerprint recovery by the Federal Bureau of investigations and the Massachusetts State police, trained in advanced field sobriety testing and was a certified breathalyzer operator. I was also trained in sexual assault investigations, homicide investigations, crime scene investigations, drug investigations by the DEA, Mass State Police, and the Criminal Justice Training Council. I utilize these trainings in the defense of my client.

After leaving police work after 23 1/2 years of service and prior to becoming an attorney I was also the senior global investigator for a fortune 500 company directing investigations in 228 locations worldwide. 2013 to 2017 I was chosen as rising star by Super lawyers along with several other awards from the american Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys.
