Richard Mooney

I recently sustained a serious injury to my shoulder after slipping and falling at my workplace. Along with medical treatment I knew I needed legal advice as well, but since I had never been seriously injured at work before I didn't know where or to whom I should turn to for help. During my random ...internet search for an attorney I came across the Donahoe- Kearney website. The website was very informative and seemed to speak to all of my questions and concerns. I was so impressed that I contacted Frank Kearney for an appointment. Both Venessa and Brooke, Frank's staff, were very kind, supportive and professional as they lead me thru the preliminary interview process, and set up my appointment. From the very beginning my association with Frank Kearney concerning my injury has been marked by these two most striking attributes: #1-- Frank Kearney has taken ownership. He has made my problem ; his problem. #2-- Competence. His experience, focus and confidence is impressive. Frank is a winner. I would highly recommend the Donanhoe Kearney Law firm to anyone seeking representation in a workman's compensation claim. I am very grateful for all of Frank Kearney's efforts on my behalf.

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!

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."
