What Macey, Wilensky & Hennings, LLC does

Macey, Wilensky & Hennings, LLP is a boutique commercial law firm founded in 1947 and headquartered at 5500 Interstate North Parkway, Suite 435, Atlanta, Georgia. The firm operates as a privately held limited liability partnership with a stated headcount of 1–10 employees, anchored by two named partners: Frank B. Wilensky (Managing Partner since 1991; member since 1971) and Todd E. Hennings (joined 1997 from a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judicial clerkship). The firm concentrates its practice in three interconnected service areas: Commercial Bankruptcy (representation of debtors, creditors, and trustees in Chapters 7 and 11 actions, including reorganizations, liquidations, and workouts); Debtor/Creditor Law (enforcement of creditor rights, collections, domestication of judgments, wage garnishments, and forced asset sales); and Business and Commercial Litigation (complex dispute resolution through negotiation, settlement, mediation, or trial at state and federal levels).

The firm serves institutional clients throughout Georgia and the Southeastern United States, with primary customer segments including regional banks, credit unions, commercial debtors, and bankruptcy trustees. Todd E. Hennings is regularly appointed as bankruptcy trustee by the U.S. Trustee's Office and Department of Justice for difficult and complex cases, providing a recurring federal case origination channel. The firm operates a sales-led, referral-driven go-to-market motion anchored on direct attorney access, professional reputation (Martindale-Hubbell AV-Preeminent ratings, Georgia Super Lawyers, Georgia Legal Elite, and Atlanta Journal Constitution/Wall Street Journal "Top Rated Lawyers" recognitions), and a website-driven intake process hosted via FindLaw. Both partners lecture at continuing legal education programs and trade associations, and Frank B. Wilensky chairs the Creditors Rights Section of the State Bar of Georgia.

The business model is fee-for-service legal representation with publicly undisclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through professional legal fees for consultation, representation, bankruptcy case work, and litigation. No technology platform, software products, or AI/ML capabilities are associated with the practice. The firm has not raised outside capital, has no parent company or institutional ownership, and operates as an independently managed boutique practice with a 77-year operating history.
