This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She works very hard to come to a satisfactory result in any suit.

Kathleen represented me in a civil suit due to an incident which had caused both physical and mental anguish for me. Kathleen was very professional asl well as being sympathetic to the trauma I had experienced. She was very aggressive as well as professional with her interaction with the paries i...nvolve which resulted in an amicable agreement with my suit. I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone who is in need of a very competent attorney.

Kathleen was an amazing attorney!

So glad we found Kathleen! She was supportive, always made sure we knew what was going on, prepared us for every step, and paid close attention to all of the details to make sure there were no loose ends. I know we couldn't have gotten the same result without her!

Don't hesitate to hire Kathleen Kearney!

My husband was involved in an auto accident that left him severely injured. He was 71 years old at the time of the accident. He was not at fault in any way and even had a law enforcement officer (game warden) witness the accident. We had never experienced anything like this before but had several fri...ends and family advise us to get an attorney. We are so very thankful that our son found Kathleen Kearney! From our first interview with her and even before we hired her, she answered all the questions that we had. She made us feel completely comfortable and assured us that she was not hesitant in taking on our case. She worked very hard for us and stood firm against a much larger law firm, especially when they tried to intimidate us into a ridiculous settlement amount. She also protected us from a medical charge that had been billed in error that could have affected us negatively. We loved knowing that she was not just a good attorney but a nurse also! If we could give her 10 stars, we would! Do not hesitate to hire Kathleen as your attorney!

Kathleen came to our home to discuss our case. It was a relief having an attorney with her knowledge guide us through this process. She went above and beyond expectations. We are so very thankful Kathleen.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Kathleen in a professional capacity since 2008. She is an incredible attorney. Kathleen is compassionate, responsive, competent, and resourceful. Anytime I have a Personal Injury case, she is my first call. She will go and meet the client at their location and help them in any way that she can. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Unfortunately, I have had to utilize her services personally, and I cannot say enough about how knowledgeable, resourceful and responsive she was throughout the process. I can't give a higher recommendation than I would use her for my needs. I highly recommend Kathleen."

Relationship: Friend

"I've known Kathleen since we studied for the bar exam together back in 2006. She was a hard worker then and is a hard worker now. I recently had the opportunity to refer a mutual client to her and I am so glad I did. This client is a young child who had been in a horrible car accident and I knew she needed to have the best lawyer to help her get the most recovery possible. Kathleen was fabulous! She worked so hard and personally investigated the wreck by driving to the scene of the accident to observe the dangerous highway and going to the junk yard to see and photograph the mangled vehicle. I knew Kathleen was the right choice but after seeing how hard she worked for this client, I am completely amazed. I would absolutely refer another client, family member, or friend to Kathleen again if they are unfortunate enough to need a great personal injury lawyer."

Relationship: Co-worker

"When Kathleen returned to Texas a few years ago, she joined the firm I was serving at the time, and did excellent work. As a lawyer who is also a nurse, her value was exceptional. When the time came for me to add an attorney to my own firm recently, there was just one attorney on my wish-list: Kathleen. Our clients and I are so lucky to have her in our corner."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
