Mr. Kearney provides guidance in matters related to elder law, estate
planning, and real estate transactions. “Clients come to see me under
two conditions,” said Kearney. “Either because they’re in a crisis and
they want me to help them navigate the legal system, or because they
want to prevent future problems by planning for life changes.”

Rapids, Minnesota, where he taught for three years prior to going on to
