Great Attorney to Have on Your Side

When I first started with my legal quest, there were so many unsure feelings about the road ahead. Attorney Kearney helped me to receive just compensation for an on- the- job injury. He assured me that my main concern should be to get well and to leave the legal matters to him. He guided me on th...e process in a way which I could understand. There were no promises, but there were many assurances. His office personnel are the best. They were always pleasant and readily available to assist me with the numerous issues encountered. I always felt comfortable and reassured by them. I appreciate the great followups. They are the best. Attorney Kearney is my legal representative and I will always remember him and his staff for any future referrals or assistance.

A blessing! Genuine and Ethical! The Best!

I approached Frank after reviewing an abundance of positive reviews about his firm online. I inquired more and was pleasantly surprised to find a handful of informative videos as well. I had just made my decision! I needed an attorney after suffering a serious head injury in the workplace. Without g...etting too specific, Frank pointed out a couple glaring mistakes that the employers/worker's compensation officers make, during the initial claim process. He patiently answered all of my questions as well regarding my rights and explained each in detail. As my employer continued to pressure me to return to work, Frank reassured me to follow my Doctor's orders and insured I was receiving my entailed benefits. After meeting with Frank, I knew immediately he was sharp, calm, and the man for the job. He put all the potential outcomes on the table but told he was confident he could negotiate with the adjuster, to make sure I was being presented with the best outcome. Not only that but he was straightforward, honest, and more than fair with his fee. He made me feel very comfortable throughout the process. If you have a work-related injury, I highly recommend and endorse Frank Kearney to represent you.

Frank Kearney is the MAN!!!!

I went to see Frank Kearney during I time when I had got injured on my job and I was in a lot of pain. He was so nice, and kind, and very attentive. His staff was very professional. He was respectful of my situation, of my time, and sent me to the best doctors and physical therapists. I didn't have... to chase Mr. Kearney down for information on my case, in fact he chased me down to give me information on my case. His associate Claudia stayed in constant contact with me during the whole process and was very supportive and professional. Mr, Kearney comes across very mild mannered, but this guy is the REAL DEAL and he will get you TOP DOLLAR for your case!!!! You need to pick up the phone and call him now!

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."
