Client Testimonials

Workers hurt on the job come to Donahoe Kearney, LLP to protect their rights to workers compensation benefits when they are disabled. Victims of medical malpractice seek justice for their families when a loved one has been injured or killed due to medical or hospital negligence. People injured in serious automobile accidents who are hurt and can't work because of their injuries come to us for help. The best way to judge whether a personal injury law firm is right for you is to talk to their clients. Here's what a sample of Donahoe Kearney, LLP clients say about their experience with the firm.

When I suffered a severe knee injury at work, in March of 2007, I never expected to need the services of an attorney. After numerous medical procedures and surgeries, I found myself dealing with denials for some needed medical treatments and a reduction in wages.

After contacting Frank Kearney, my disability payments were restored within a couple of weeks. Mr. Kearney was able to get me all needed medical treatment to date, and a guarantee of future medical treatment for my injury for the remainder of my life. Although my knee will never be the same, Mr. Kearney was able to secure a lump sum settlement which will adequately compensate me for the years I had planned to work prior to retirement.

I was impressed with Mr. Kearney's competence and knowledge of workers' compensation law. Additionally, I was extremely appreciative for the courtesy and genuine concern shown to myself and my wife by both Mr. Kearney and his office staff, as they dealt with our questions and concerns and resolved many issues that came up in dealing with the insurance company.

I would highly recommend the services of Mr. Kearney and his staff to anyone dealing with a work injury.

You got me outstanding results on my case against a hospital. My expectations were perfectly managed. You let me know the time frames on my case and your staff was always courteous and professional.

The case came out way better than I expected. I felt protected and that I had a good advocate.

God forbid if something would happen to my family, but if it did, I would come straight to Frank Kearney and Donahoe Kearney.

A plumber with a severe back injury in D.C. says:

I've been with you so long I don't know where to start. There was a lady at work when I had problems with my back injury case, she recommended me to you. I have had problems with other attorneys in the past, not taking my case, mot taking my calls and not being straight with me.

All of my phone calls were returned. You have a nice staff that was always helpful. You've been real good to me and always helped me out.

Mr. Kearney's book was cool, too. It had a lot of information in there and I passed that along to my neighbor and it gave her some guidance for her injury case because it had a lot of information about insurance companies and what they do.

Everything about my case was just right on time. You were always very professional and answered all of my questions and did whatever you could for me whenever you could.

You always helped me out. And I recommend you to everyone.

Following a successful settlement of a trip and fall injury case in the District of Columbia, this client wrote to thank us for our efforts fighting the insurance company.

"Honesty, integrity, professionalism, humanitarian approach, understanding, respecting customers, responding to your call in a timely manner.

All of the above describes Donahoe Kearney and their staff.

I would not hesitate to go out of my way to promote this law office any time."

After being denied medical treatment and monetary benefits for a D.C. work injury with a national employer, who fought every step of the way, this client's case was settled the night before his workers compensation hearing and here is what he had to say:

"I am so satisfied - you guys did a great job. I think you are highly professional, personable and completely thorough.

I feel I was well represented and I'm totally satisfied with the outcome of your efforts on my case."

Just how much does an insurance company care about someone injured at work? What do you thinkg the workers compensation insurance company did to a local D.C. business owner who paid their premiums whe she got hurt at work? One guess. They denied her legitimate claim, saying the injury wasn't covered, the medical treatment not related, etc.

Here's a sample of what the injured worker said after we settled her case (and she received everything - and more - that she was entitled to under the law):

"I have received the check and I thank you for your service. I will make sure everybody knows your firm for the type of service you are providing."

I am very thankful for the way you all helped me. I am very grateful to Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Kearney . If it wasn't through all of your hard work, I wouldn't have gotten anything.

I saw all of the hard work Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Kearney did at my D.C. jury trial. They worked hard as my attorneys, but they also treated me like family.

You all were interested in helping me the whole time and prepared me for everything that happened at trial, since I had never been to a trial before or testified in court.

If there is any occasion where I hear of somebody looking for an attorney for any injury, by all means I will refer them to Donahoe Kearney, LLP.

A long time D.C. workers compensation client, a union plumber who injured his back at work, received permanent, total disability benefits and was able to retire after receiving a settlement, wrote to us after reading Mr. Kearney's book, just to say thanks.

My wife and I enjoyed reading your book, Protect Your Rights: The D.C. Worker's Guide to D.C. Workers' Compensation. Thank you for sending us a copy.

We just wanted to say "Thanks."

A former workers compensation client, working in a heavy duty job had this to say about his experience with Donahoe Kearney, LLP:

I am very grateful for Mr. Kearney and the work he did on my case. I can testify that he does honest work and I will recommend him to anyone who needs help.

He is an excellent lawyer.

A client with a serious back injury that happened at work says this about her experience as a Donahoe Kearney client:

It was my first experience with a lawyer in any case at all and the first time I had gotten hurt.

They gave me strength to hold on and keep me going until my case settled - I would always think of what Mr. Kearney said and all his support and that's how I made it through.

Your firm was great. The lawyers and staff were really helpful. If I have anyone else that could benefit from Donahoe Kearney, I will refer them to you.

From a client who suffered a herniated disc in his back:

In November 2007, I was an employee of Pitney Bowes. While doing my official duties, I injured my back. For two years I dealt with the insurance company by myself. In November 2009, the insurance company essentially told me to get lost. I immediately started looking for an attorney and set up an appointment with the first attorney I found, one who worked for a big law firm in Washington, D.C.

I met with this lawyer who tried to advise me of the law. After doing my own research, I realized that this attorney either didn't fully understand the law or he wasn't being truthful with me. I was back in the market for another attorney.

I was referred to Frank Kearney. Since that day, Mr. Kearney and his staff have been a godsend. Professional, competent, attentive and courteous. I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend Mr. Kearney to anyone and everyone!

Sincerely,
K.G.

I thank God that attorney Frank Kearney helped me in my slip and fall case. His help was the best thinkg that could happen to me. I hope everyone will believe in him and his work. If I ever have a new case, I would not think twice to come back and use his services.

From a client who suffered a permanent wrist injury while working in D.C.:

I injured myself at work, which resulted in a permanent loss of motion. I am so happy that I chose Frank Kearney as my lawyer to help file all the necessary paperwork and submit a claim with the insurance company. Frank took what could have been an extremely stressful process and made it smooth and simple. Frank walked me through the process every step of the way. He was always clear and quick to respond to any questions I had. With Frank's hard work, I never had to enter a courtroom and received a settlement. I always knew what was going on and felt completely comfortable with Frank as my lawyer.

R.S.

From a worker who injured his back in D.C. and was initially denied workers compensation benefits by the insurance company:

Even before deciding to acquire Mr. Kearney's representation, I began benefitting from his expertise once I received his book about workers compensation in D.C. After securing his representation I found him and his staff prompt, courteous and effective. Having his representation I felt more secure in obtaining just compensation under the law from a hesitant insurance company.

Thanks for all your support!

-H.M., construction worker

When my employer denied my workers' compensation benefits and said my injuries were not related to my work, I hired Mr. Kearney to represent me in my workers compensation case. He fought for my rights every step of the way to make sure I got compensated for my injuries. Mr. Kearney was aggressive in pursuing my case and worked hard to get me my settlement.

- M.A., mechanic

If at first you don't succeed - call Frank Kearney. That is what I did after I tried to reason with the insurance company, the workers comp division of D.C. and the medical bill collectors. One call to Mr. Kearney and my weekly check arrived on time; the bill collectors stopped calling and an equitable settlement was won. Mr. Kearney is a man of his word - he stayed on the job until the job was done. Thanks Frank.

-Robert C.
