  "I recommend anyone who has a problem or an injury to call Mr. Kearney." Here is what a mechanic had to say after winning his case following a serious knee injury and surgery: "I think you all did a great job.  Every time I called you, you and your staff called me back.  I know workers comp is a hard thing but you all did a great job for me.  I recommend anyone who has a problem or an injury to call Mr. Kearney."

“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.

I had such a hard year in 2019 when  my injury came about. I had just started back at work and had been back for about a month and a half when the anniversary of 911 was slowly approaching when a unknown man had approached me and broke my left knee while trying to escort him out of our government buildings. I worked as a DHS Special Police Officer. After my injury I struggled with the fact that I would have to deal with a security insurance company that really didn’t care about my well-being. I struggled back-and-forth with this company and on several occasions was frustrated of the back-and-forth stop payments in between while dealing with being in a wheelchair trying to get my life back in order and start therapy. Here this company was playing with my ability to get my life back to where it needed to be. One of my coworkers referred me to Frank and ever since then everything has been easy going--so well explained, I receive these books of all the events of what I was experiencing! They help me a lot with understanding what I was going through and what I would be going through as I moved forward so I say that I appreciate all that this office has done for me. This was a long ride but I have return to work full duty. I still have my injuries for life but I can work with a smile on my face knowing that I’ll be forever backed up by the Frank Kearney and company.

When Someone Is Injured At Work in DC, It Affects The Whole Family When my husband was injured on the job a few years ago, the decision to obtain counsel was not a decision we took lightly. We researched and interviewed different lawyers, and upon the last interview that we had with Frank, we knew that the decision we were making to bring Frank on as our representation was the right decision! Throughout this journey, we worked very closely with Frank, but we worked even closer with Priscilla.  Priscilla has been an angel for us, and anytime she couldn’t get in contact with my husband, she made a point to contact me. She made my husband stay accountable for his appointments and just to make sure that he stayed on top of the things that he needed to do in regards to his case. Things like turning in his paystubs to make sure he kept up with his doctor's appointments, making sure that he sent her the doctors reports after every visit was vital to his case. Priscilla played a pivotal role in this case, and we just don’t think that we would have gotten this far without her. Priscilla works very hard; she has been very diligent on this case. She gave me her number just so that if there was any question I had or anything that I needed to be done, I could talk to her. I didn’t take having her number lightly because I know that she gave me her number if I needed to talk to her or it was something urgent dealing with my husband. We are grateful to Frank and Priscilla. I don’t think that we would be this far along if it weren’t for the hard work Priscilla put in. Frank and Priscilla, thank you for every effort you made on our behalf and for never giving up on us. This journey is not one that we took lightly because this was our livelihood, and the mere fact that you have seen this case through from start to finish, we are thankful. Words couldn’t express our gratitude, but I would say, Priscilla, you are a gem. We would not be this far along in this case if it weren’t for all your hard work and dedication. I pray that whatever you get and wherever you go that you get all the blessings that you deserve because you worked hard for us, and we appreciate you so much

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.”
