With no office, only a couple of clients and no money to speak of, Hastings Hanshaw and Collin Kennedy started Hanshaw Kennedy, LLP in Frisco, Texas in May of 2004. Undeterred by the challenges ahead of them, Mr. Hanshaw and Mr. Kennedy hit the ground running and quickly earned reputations for aggressive, results-oriented legal services. In short, they won. The word spread and Hanshaw Kennedy, LLP became the go-to litigation boutique for all manner of bet-the-business litigation matters in suburban North Texas. Eventually, the firm added a partner, John Hafen, so that it could continue to meet the diverse business needs of Collin County and the surrounding North Texas counties.
Today, Hanshaw Kennedy Hafen, LLP attorneys practice in Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant and surrounding counties, as well as throughout the State of Texas. With six litigation attorneys and two family law attorneys, our firm is uniquely positioned to continue to tackle the legal needs for businesses and individuals within the communities we live and work.
15 Years of Results and Satisfied Clients
Our mission and goal for every client is to provide exceptional, cost-effective, results-oriented legal representation. We know that there are many options for legal representation but we are the partner you can trust to get you results.
Our Strategy
Find the way to win. We believe in results-oriented legal work that is wholly focused on the achievement of this strategy. Larger law firms sometimes lose their focus on the client and turn instead to measuring their own financial well-being by means of billable hours and firm lawyer’s individual productivity. While we too are in business to make a profit, we believe that the natural byproduct of winning is a financially-healthy law firm. And because we are smaller than most of the prominent downtown law firms, we are only as good as our last case. Thus our best means of client-retention is honest assessment and end-game focused legal work.

Even though the lawsuit had been going on for 2 years Collin Kennedy came on board to represent me individually 3 months before the trial date. In a short period of time he got up to speed and plotted a path for the best presentation of my side of the case. Collin prepared me well for the onslaught of the cross and helped me present my defense so well that the jury understood all the major issues in the case. I hope I will not need him but he would be the first attorney I would call if I have another legal issue arise again.

I have known and worked with Hanshaw Kennedy more times that I wished for over the last 10 years. As President/CEO of a large manufacturing company, we had several occasions where we needed quick or immediate assistance. Hastings and his team (you won’t find a better person in the world than Michelle) were able to quickly mobilize and meet us to offer guidance and legal assistance in the most professional manner possible. The firms ability to put complex legal situations in terms non-lawyers can understand is a tremendous help when trying to work through legal situations.
