About

A Board Certified Civil Trial Attorney, Mr. Kearney represents children and families who have been victims of medical malpractice, workers hurt on the job and people who have been seriously injured in accidents.Mr. Kearney is a long time workers' rights advocate and author of the 115 page book Protect Your Rights, The Ultimate Guide to D.C. Workers' Compensation.  He continues to represent injured workers and people seriously injured or killed in preventable accidents.Mr. Kearney's work with children who have cerebral palsy and other disabilities led him to publish a parent's guide to resources in the D.C. area, Getting Everything Your Special Needs Child Deserves.  Rather than sell this valuable resource guide, he gives it away to any family with a special needs child in the D.C. area.We believe our cases are about more than fair compensation for patients, workers and families.  Through our cases we try to change the way hospitals, HMOs and employers do things in the future - by putting patients' safety and workers' safety first.

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.

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, 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.
