The one

This review is long overdue as it has been a few months since my case was settled. Nonetheless, I hope that it helps someone. Though I have a long story as it relates to my injury, I will keep it short — just know Mr. Kearney and his team were with me the entire duration. lock step. I was injured at ...work about ~8 years ago. My case was longer than many. During those eight years I went through every tactic you could think of from the various insurance companies and adjusters who handled my case. During those eight years, WC insurance found reasons to deny a treatment, or to not pay my benefits, or to make me wait 6 months for a hearing to only agree with our demands the day of (which happened on 2-3 occasions), and everything in between. Their goal is to make an already bad situation even worse. At times they succeeded. However, Mr. Kearney kept fighting for me and never budged. Even when things would become overwhelming and I wanted to quit, he remained calm and consistent while encouraging me to push forward. His tenacity resulted in a settlement that I had honestly almost lost hope on. That is what you get with Mr. Kearney. He is a known and respected entity in the world of injured persons/workers. Opposing counsel knows him and when they greet him you can sense the respect they have for him. Same goes for judges; he knows them, like really knows them. If you need someone to truly fight for you while keeping your best interest paramount, look no further. It is honestly a no-brainer. If he agrees to take you on as a client, jump at it. You will not find more competent, prepared, personalized, experienced, honest, and compassionate representation in the DC area. I went out of my way to thank Mr. Kearney and his team as much as I could while he represented me and am happy to have the pleasure of thanking him again, on a public forum, while encouraging anyone who has been hurt to make Donohoe-Kearney your first call. I hope it will also be your last. I pray everyone gets healthy and receives what they are due. Again, huge thanks to Mr. Kearney and his team, who I must add treat you like family and stay on top of the things you might not even know need staying on top of. The whole team is top-notch.

Excellent Workers Comp Attorney!

I had an injury at work and was going through the workers comp process on my own. As the case was coming to an end I had a feeling that the insurance company was just trying to save money and close the case, so I reached out to Mr. Kearney. He and his staff definitely had my best interest at hand, ...and were able to negotiate a settlement much higher than what the insurance company would have given me on my own. They kept me up to date through out the entire process, and gave me reasonable expectations as well. I am extremely pleased not only with the results of the case but also with the personable service that I received from Mr. Kearney. He is highly recommended no matter where you are in your case!

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.

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!

Trust this Lawyer

He was my last hope and he came thru with my deepest thanks. Frank did not chastise or lawyer speak to me for all the potential road blocks that my unique situation bought to the table he moved forward with the case and hit a homer out of the Park. There is a reason he does not need to adverti...se. Like anyone who has done great work for someone he is referred with conviction so if a friend or someone who needs a pro his name is always the first out to someone in need. Frank certainly earned that trust from me! Thanks

"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."
