Best Workman's Compensation Lawyer in DC

I was injured at work, I was very naïve and ignorant about hiring a lawyer to work for my benefit but after worker's compensation from work and the adjuster of my employer's insurer and did not get the treatment I deserved as well as I was out of work for quite sometime and used all my PTO/Vacation t...ime due to my injury I decided to ask around for a good lawyer and was referred by a friend to Mr. Frank Kearney who on my first meeting was I earned my trust, he was very professional and honest about my case, he answered all my questions, gave me time frame and worked right on it and delivered. He is very tenacious, hardworking in dealing and working on my case so that for my best interest. He is the best workman's compensation lawyer in District of Columbia.

Best personal injury atterney EVER!

It is with great pleasure that I am writing this review for Frank Kearney. Mr. Kearney was my personal injury attorney and I am eternally thankful for the outstanding job Frank did representing me in this case. This whole process was arduous and often unfair, but I was always in good... hands with Frank and his amazing team. Mr. Kearney was always professional, kind and very responsive. If I ever had a question or needed reassurance (which I did a lot), Frank never failed to find time to speak to me on the phone or in person. His paralegal, Claudia, is the hardest working and sincerest person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Frank and his team did a tremendous job! Although, it will never substitute for the physical heath and future job opportunities lost, I am so grateful for the compensation Frank negotiated on my behalf. Not once has Mr. Kearney took “no” for an answer or cowered to the insurance company’s demands. Frank shielded me from the bully-case manager and fought hard for me to be seen by the doctors NOT affiliated by the insurance company. Mr. Kearny was truly on my side and had my best interests in mind. He never asked me to settle, was patient, professional, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. Frank, Claudia, Team, I really cannot thank you enough for caring so much. You have my deepest respect and admiration. If you need an outstanding attorney to represent you and fight on YOUR side, look no further….Frank is your guy!

Client of Mr. Kearney's

I was working in DC when I was injured. Not living there I didn't know any lawyers but when I started having problems with workers comp. I knew I had to find a lawyer in DC. I contacted Mr. Kearney's office and he called me. I explained my situation to him and he explained how the process worked. I h...ired Mr. Kearney and he has been helping me get the tests I have needed and the doctors I have needed to see. I have known him for 5 years now and he has helped me a lot. If it wasn't for his hard work I would have never been able to get the medical care I have been able to receive. If you have been hurt on the job you definitely need him. There is no way you can get workers comp. to work with you. Worker's Comp. would deny the tests my doctor wanted also the treatment they wanted me to have. Once Mr. Kearney was my lawyer and the one dealing with worker's comp. things began to get done. I got the treatment I needed and if any problems came up all I had to do was call the office and he would take care of the issue. I highly recommend him. Mr. Kearney is still my lawyer and he is still working to help me.

Excellent

Frank was responsive and diligent. He or his staff quickly got required approval from insurance company for all procedures. He was successful at negotiating a successful settlement on my workers comp case.

The most amazing team ever!!!!

Let me first begin by saying not only is Mr.Kearney a great attorney but his staff is incredibly amazing. I stumbled across this law firm on Google after a terrible accident while waiting tables. I was 21, a new mom, and enjoying life until my accident. I was told by the job which doctors to see, whe...re to get my prescriptions, which procedures I had to do. Until Mr.Kearney saved my life after 8 months of care by a workers compensation orthopedic doctor Mr.Kearney informed me of my rights and from there we were off to get me feeling better. Never did he have me feel uncomfortable and I can say I put my complete trust in him that I was doing the right things. He was always available to talk and if he was in court his staff always went above and beyond to resolve any questions or concerns. You need that type of support when your clueless to these laws. I was offered an implant by the insurance company and Mr.Kearney called me and said "I don't care how much money they offer, is this what you want to do?/ Is this device the best fit for you?" And at that moment I thought to myself wow this man isn't just my attorney he's a genuine human being that actually cares about me!!! Wow!!! I'm pleased to say almost 8 years later and Mr.Kearney and his staff are still a very important part of my life. It took me 5 years to work again but I did It and without Mr.Kearney and his staff I'd probably be in a bad place of hopelessness. I'm pleased to say I am up walking like never before all thanks to this amazing team. Thanks guys

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Frank and I have worked on some cases together and we continue to refer matters to him in states where he is licensed, but we are not. Frank is smart and his team is wonderful. You will find that he is low key in the office, and you will find him easy to speak to. Don't be alarmed, however, he is also very well prepared and aggressive in the courtroom."
