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.

We love Frank Kearney's Newsletter that we receive monthly. Excellent attorney, Injured Workers Law Firm sends all of our DC referrals their way!

I highly recommend hiring the Donahoe Kearney law firm to anyone who is suffering with workman's compensation dilemmas. Frank, Priscilla, Brooke and even the receptionists are all wonderful with answering questions, easing apprehension, and allowing you to be part of the process. Priscilla updated me through weekly phone calls and constant emails. It was important to feel like the staff was working for my benefit and I felt that with this team. They truly excelled with their services! They succeeded in getting me the treatment that I deserved and handled the case with professionality and purpose! I wish everyone the best of luck and hope your experience with this team is just as good as mine was! Mohamed Abodour

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.

After hiring this team, I found them all to be courteous, attentive , responsive, knowledgeable, and most of all effective.

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!

After a not so good experience with another attorney that didn’t seem to have my best interests at the forefront, I found Mr. Kearney through this very website. In the midst of dealing with a life changing accident and navigating Workers Comp, it was reassuring to know that my case and wellbeing were finally in good hands. Mr. Kearney and his staff are wonderful. They will work hard on your behalf and communicate with you every step of the way. I can’t thank them enough!

I’m that person who reads reviews to get informed. I was very skeptical about holding an attorney from the review add. However, I was involved in a serious work injury and had no idea where to go. I read the reviews for Mr. Kearney and decided to give it a chance. It was the best decision I made. Every step of the way, Mr. Kearney and his staff kept me informed of my options and the process. You will get discouraged and frustrated, but if you have Mr. Kearney on your side, your worries and doubts will turn into a win. I know this because that what I experienced. The staff is kind, courteous, and always attentive to any questions or concerns. Go ahead, and make the appointment. You will not be disappointed. Tell them I said hello.

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!

I was injured at work, I was very naïve and ignorant about hiring a lawyer to work for my benefit but after worker's compensation from work and the adjuster of my employer's insurer and did not get the treatment I deserved as well as I was out of work for quite sometime and used all my PTO/Vacation time due to my injury I decided to ask around for a good lawyer and was referred by a friend to Mr. Frank Kearney who on my first meeting was I earned my trust, he was very professional and honest about my case, he answered all my questions, gave me time frame and worked right on it and delivered. He is very tenacious, hardworking in dealing and working on my case so that for my best interest. He is the best workman's compensation lawyer in District of Columbia.

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.

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.
