There are lots of law firms that are good at many things, but we strive to be great at one thing: holding nursing homes and assisted living facilities accountable to the public, their patients, and the families of patients when they neglect or abuse a resident. Good is not enough. Greatness is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Unlike personal injury lawyers and law firms who handle cases ranging from dog bites, slip and falls, car accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, police brutality, and many others, our practice is dedicated exclusively to being the very best at one thing. We have handled over 1,000 nursing home abuse and neglect cases covering every scenario imaginable against nearly every nursing home corporation.

We liken this to the medical field and the way we view our health. If you have a serious medical condition and require a surgical procedure, most people would prefer to have a doctor who devotes their entire practice to researching, diagnosing, and treating that exact condition. Why? Because we know that if our life or a loved one's life depends on it, we don't want to take a chance on a doctor getting it right. We need a doctor who's done that procedure over and over again and gets it right every time.
Because we have dedicated our legal practice, and frankly our lives, to nursing home abuse and neglect, we have been able to consistently achieve the highest settlements and verdicts in history, including the highest recorded verdict in several counties and the single largest verdict against a nursing home in Ohio history–a $26 million verdict in Trumbull County, Ohio.
It is easy to settle for a good law firm. But why have good when you can have great?

When families place their loved ones in a nursing home, they trust that caregivers will provide safety, dignity, and compassion. Yet for too many families across Ohio and the United States, that trust is shattered when neglect or abuse leads to a wrongful death.
The loss of an elderly loved one under suspicious or preventable circumstances is one of the most devastating experiences imaginable. Beyond grief, families are left with painful questions: Was this truly natural? Could it have been prevented? Who is responsible?

When families entrust a loved one to a nursing home, they expect professional care that protects their comfort and dignity. Yet one of the clearest and most painful signs of neglect remains far too common: bedsores, also known as pressure ulcers.
Bedsores are not just skin irritations. They are medical injuries that develop when residents are left immobile for too long without proper repositioning, hygiene, or nutrition. In many cases, they are entirely preventable—and when they occur, it’s often because a facility has failed in its most basic duty of care.

Nutrition and hydration are basic human needs—and in nursing homes, meeting those needs is a legal and moral obligation. Yet across the United States, and increasingly in Ohio, elderly residents are suffering from dehydration and malnutrition caused by neglect.
These conditions are not mere oversights. When a resident becomes dangerously dehydrated or malnourished, it almost always reflects systemic failures: understaffing, poor supervision, or deliberate disregard for residents’ well-being.

Families who place their loved ones in a nursing home expect compassion, safety, and accountability. When those expectations are betrayed, families often turn to the facility’s complaint process for answers. But what happens when those complaints are ignored, dismissed, or covered up?
In Ohio and across the U.S., nursing homes are legally required to respond to and investigate complaints made by residents and their families. Ignoring concerns about neglect, abuse, or unsafe conditions isn’t just poor practice—it’s a violation of federal and state law.
