When you place a loved one in the care of a nursing home, you expect that their needs will be met and that they will, in fact, be cared for. Unfortunately, negligence and outright abuse in this area are all too common. In spite of the many state and federal regulations which have been established to protect the elderly in these settings, gross violations continue to occur every single day, tragically compromising the health, well-being and dignity of some of our society’s most vulnerable members.

Both in the courtroom and outside of it, we are leading the charge to make a difference and create an environment where substandard care will not be tolerated. We represent plaintiffs who have falled victim to the following:
