Frank R Kearney

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.

I would like to extend my gratitude to Attorney Frank Kearney and his team for the excellent work performed on my behalf. From day one, when I placed my phone call to his office, I knew I was in good hands. I am a Nurse and I sustained a back injury on the job while assisting a patient. My injury ...caused me to suffer from extreme pain with lower extremity weakness. I was out from work for months on workers compensation and I had no intention of retaining an attorney because I was not aware that I should probably consult with one. No one tells you these things, especially when you think you will get better and return to work in a short period of time. That was not the case for me. Several months after being out for my injury I was notified by the workers comp office that the insurance medical examiner (IME) that they sent me to for a follow-up evaluation had concluded that I was no longer injured and could return to work. The IME report said I could resume my full-time duties without further treatment or evaluation. The fact is, I clearly expressed to the IME my condition had not improved and I was not ready to return to work at that time. In shock, I wondered how cold and calculating the decision was to send me back to work still injured and in pain. The more I wondered the more I got upset. My employer wanted me to return work per what the IME concluded. I refused to return to work in my condition and they refused to offer me physical therapy and/or any assistance to help me get better to return to work. I knew I needed help fast. They terminated the workers comp benefits and I would not be paid until I returned to work. At this point all of my funding sources were depleted including my retirement and savings. It was time to find an attorney. Attorney Kearney was recommended to me by another attorney in Maryland. Once I contacted his office to schedule a consultation I was sent a book called “Protecting Your Rights”. After consulting with his team and reading the book I really got the courage I needed to move forward with my case. I could now see a light at the end of the tunnel! Attorney Kearney informed me during our first meeting that I had a 50 percent chance at winning my case due to the fact so many months had gone by after being injured. Again, I wish I had known to consult with an attorney at the beginning when I was first injured, but it is common not to know until something goes awry. I trusted that he would do all he could to help me and I was comforted in knowing that. As the weeks went by I felt assured we were moving in the right direction with my case. I now had the strength to hold on and maintain a positive outlook because Attorney Kearney and his team always communicated with me and kept me informed on the work they were doing with my case. They never made me feel neglected or alone in the process, and they welcomed my phone calls and constant questions. In the end things did work out for me and my case was decided out of court in my favor. I highly recommend this law firm because they value their clients and provide the utmost respect and integrity in handling your case. They are truly professional, honest, understanding, and helpful to those in need of their assistance. I am now able to focus on getting well and putting my life back together. What a blessing, thank you so much!

Mr. Kearney helped me every step of the way through my worker's compensation case. I was feeling completely overwhelmed with the insurance company and the nurse case manager and once I had help from Mr. Kearney and his office, my mind was at ease and I knew I was in capable hands. He went above and... beyond my expectations and really fought for what was fair in my case.

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.

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.
