Read the Reviews - What Our Clients Say About Working With Us.

“From the start it’s been very positive. Frank has heard me go through everything from depressed to anxious, to angry. He knows what kind of anxiety comes along with chronic and very serious pain. He is a very understanding and caring person. We also have common ground because we were both in the Army. I’ve shared a lot of personal and family things with him. Frank and his staff have been "Johnny on the Spot" with phone calls to get me appointments and tests. He’s fought for me to get what I need all along the way. The biggest concern for me is my family. Frank’s a good lawyer, I’ve used him before. He was endorsed by our union, I think he certainly still is. I think there’s a stigma attached to lawyers and people who use lawyers where you think there’s something to hide. But no, there’s not. It’s the nature of the work, and it’s repetition that caused my injury. The lawyers downtown at don’t get how not only dangerous but body unfriendly our jobs are. I’m sure Frank gets it. You name it, Frank deals with it. I need to, and am very thankful that I am, being paid. Frank is a fantastic advocate”

“Frank gave us a tremendous help and kept us informed every step of the way. Originally, we didn’t intend to get a lawyer at all, because we didn’t know that we were going to need one. Dennis’s injury happened in 2007, and we didn’t contact Frank until 2011. We didn’t intend on getting a lawyer, we just wanted the company to take care of the costs of the injury (medical expenses and time off work). Then we ended up running into problems… Dennis wanted to continue to work and retire in good standing. But they started cutting pay when he had to go in for physical therapy, telling him he had to do his therapy during his lunch hour. It looked like we were going to need some help. I started reading about workers compensation and when I read the things on the Donahoe Kearney website, we were pretty impressed. Our doctor was surprised we’d gotten this far dealing with the insurance company on our own. They started making it really difficult on Dennis at work, like they were holding a grudge. We had to get a lawyer. One thing that really impressed us when dealing with Frank, even though Dennis had a settlement with his insurance company almost a year ago, whenever we had a call, they treat us like we are still an active case. It’s really very, very attentive service, very careful. Still total concern that his needs are met. I’d be happy to tell anybody that.”

A worker with a back injury in DC says this about her workers compensation lawyers: I do not have any experience dealing with lawyers but my sister has and she just loves to share. She said they won't call you back and keep you in the loop. I found Mr. Kearney's office to be the opposite. I was well informed at all times and they were so nice and professional. I was never talked down to or made to feel I was not important. It was a great relationship! (Donahoe Kearney note: and her case settled of course)!

Mr. Kearney is a very hard-working attorney. He is a guy that is straight to the point. He cares about his clients; he is dedicated to his job, and has a great staff. He always keeps in touch with his clients and always kept me informed of what was happening in my case. I liked how he tried to develop a personal relationship with me and is always asking about my family and how I am doing. The staff are very dedicated and they help Mr. Kearney achieve his goals. They are very helpful to his clients. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

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." When you become a client, you're a client for life. A long time D.C. workers compensation client settled his case and received an award for Permanent, Total Disability Benefits.  He was a union plumber who injured his back at work, and was able to retire after receiving a settlement. He wrote to us after reading Mr. Kearney's book, just to say thanks.

Injured Worker in DC Expresses Heartfelt Gratitude First of all I would like to thank Frank Kearney for representing me and making sure that I got everything that I was entitled to under the law. Secondly I would love to thank Brooke and the other staff that help me understand all of the details that I had no clue about with respect and dignity.    Lastly, Priscilla, I would like to sincerely thank you. Thank you for having the professionalism and patience to deal with me. I can honestly say it was some days that I know I was more than a handful, but you stayed professional and helped me with whaterver I needed. Without your assistance I don’t know if I would of had the fortitude to stay the course. You helped me to understand and trust the process that I questioned often, especially when the insurance company would delay my  checks. You would always say let me see what’s going on Mr. Kemp and I will call you back, and when you did call me back you would have an answer for me. Thanks to you and everyone else I am truly satisfied with the results of this case.   Without good people like yourself and everyone else in the office, people like me would be taken advantage of.   I am forever grateful and Frank Kearney and staff will always have a special place in my heart not only because of the great service but because of the respect, professionalism, and care that you showed me. May God continue to bless you and the staff to do the amazing work and keep you safe.    Best wishes forever and always,   T.K., Washington DC

“If it wasn’t for Mr. Kearney and his staff, I’d really have been in trouble. Being in a union affected my benefits, they only gave me one year of benefits when I got hurt. And the insurance company stopped paying my benefits a couple of times. Mr. Kearney had me straightened out in a week’s time… He got my benefits increased.  He also got all that back pay, for over 60 weeks back for me. Also I was very satisfied with the settlement he got for me. There was never a time where he couldn’t be reached, or where his staff couldn’t reach him or couldn’t get things straightened out themselves. It couldn’t have went any better… I can’t speak highly enough of the way Mr. Kearney and his team handled everything.”

  A carpenter working in D.C. hurt his back on the job and needed several surgeries. We represented him for 10 years and during that time, he received all of the medical treatment he needed and all of the workers compensation benefits he could possibly get.  Several years ago, we won his case and he was awarded permanent total disability benefits.  After receiving a significant settlement, here's what he had to say: "When I got hurt on the job I went to a Maryland lawyer who told me you were the best lawyer in D.C. for people who are hurt - and he was right.  I am very satisfied with Mr. Kearney and his staff.  They are very nice people and I am 100% happy with everything and the settlement."

  You were one of the best at the time of my need. Your company will get a 10 plus from me. I pray for all to go well for myself and the ongoing medical situation for my husband. I got all the information that you sent to me and the recommendation from your company. Thank you all so much. I hope this show the comfort at least that I got was still needed.  P.T., Maryland.

When I started this process, I had no idea what I needed to do but after talking with Summer from the law firm she put my mind at ease. She answered all my questions and even informed me of issues that I didn't even think of so she made the experience very clear and pleasant. Every time I called into the office, a real person answers the phone. They sent me all forms that I had to fill out and sign and they went over with me where I needed to sign if needed. I must say, so far, they have been a huge help and have answered all my questions.
