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.

Great result

Frank did a great job with my case. From the initial assessment through the trial, he understood the facts of the case and the law exceptionally well. He laid out a clear strategy for approaching the matter and handled the obstacles the insurance company put in our way like a true professional. His... explanations of what to expect were always dead on. I was glad to have him on my side.

Mr Kearney is a brilliant workman's compensation attorney

I was injured at work and contacted Mr Kearney to handle my case. He defended me zealously. He explained the issues involved in my injury case and gave me confidence.

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!

The Best!

I am a mid career Manager at a Retail company. I was unfortunately injured at work bad enough my injury requires neck surgery. As if the prospect of neck surgery at the age of 36 was not enough, I received NO support & limited assistance from my employer & their 3rd party Insurance company that handl...es Workers Comp claims for them. Despite medical evidence in my favor & a great track record with my company, my claim was promptly denied by the Insurance company. I was very naive on the process which made me waste valuable time thinking my company would "take care of me". After realizing I was left to fend for myself, I contacted a couple of lawyers to seek advice on my "complex" case, with Mr. Kearney being one of them. Even in the beginning, prior to Mr. Kearney accepting me as a client, he was nice enough to point out common mistakes & pitfalls many uninformed, unrepresented workers make that delay or negate their respective cases. That information was huge as I was still communicating with the insurance carrier, to my own detriment. As time progressed & Mr. Kearney accepted me as a client, he was quickly able to earn my complete trust, which is not an easy thing to do, especially while I was going through the emotional/mental letdown of realizing my company, whom I gave my all to, did not support me in my time of need. My case took a few months to be heard in front of a Judge to decide whom would be held liable, but during those months Mr. Kearney & his staff stayed in constant contact with me, encouraging me when the future looked bleak, advising me as issues arose & supporting me in any way they could. When you are hurt, financially strained & somewhat "broken", having a team like them on your side is not just advised, it is necessary. Mr. Kearney was able to work out an agreement prior to my hearing, with me receiving every benefit I asked for, medically & financially! A total win, finally. My "case" is still ongoing, medical procedures to come, but I have the utmost faith & confidence that I will receive what is rightfully owed to me. This will ensure my family & I do not have to worry about our future & the ability to provide for my family as a healthy, able bodied man, which was totally in doubt just a few months ago. In closing, if you are looking for a lawyer that looks at you like a number or just another client, look elsewhere! If you want someone that will fight for you, not back down an inch & not settle for less, Mr. Kearney is your man! He does not only come highly recommended, he is essential.

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."
