Frank R Kearney is the very vest worker's compensation lawyer in town!

Frank Kearney is fearless! After I was injured at work, I was shocked when the big company where I work gave me the runaround. I was about to give up on ever getting justice, because several other lawyers were too afraid to fight my large employer. Frank Kearney listened to my story and I will nev...er forget what he said, "Not everything in life is about money." He knew it was a tough case and we might not win, but he took on my fight and even paid some of my medical expense from his own pocket. He never stopped fighting for my rights until he got me the settlement I deserved. His whole staff is friendly and professional. I just can't say enough good things about him and his firm. If you are looking for the very best workers' compensation lawyer in town -- Frank Kearney is your man. He has the perfect mix of experience, reputation and the commitment. He even wrote a book on workers compensation in Washington, DC. which everyone should read. You will be amazed at what you just didn't know. If you have been injured and want to know your rights, give him a call.

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.

The First and Only Choice in Workers Comp Cases!

As I researched and interviewed attorneys to handle my case, Frank immediately stood out from the very beginning. Whether on the phone, or face-to-face, Frank gained my confidence as a master at his craft. Frank is a perfectionist, and his devotion to the needs of his clients is nothing short of a...mazing. With years of successful experience, he is able to predict timelines and awards. More in important, he provides expert counsel on processes, laws, precedents, etc. to help you to negotiate the settlement that is best for you. Frank's entire team exudes professionalism and are quick to respond. I, wholeheartedly, endorse Frank Kearney for anyone who finds themselves in need of a workers comp attorney. In fact, be confident in making Frank Kearney your "first and only choice!" You will not be disappointed.

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."
