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 nursing homes, they expect an environment of safety, dignity, and compassion. Sadly, for many residents in Ohio and across the United States, the threat doesn’t come only from neglectful staff—but from other residents.
Resident-to-resident abuse occurs when one resident harms another physically, emotionally, or sexually. Though it may seem rare or accidental, these incidents often reflect serious failures in supervision, staffing, and resident assessment.

When families entrust a loved one to a nursing home, they expect the facility to provide safety, care, and respect. Unfortunately, not all forms of abuse are physical. One of the most insidious—and increasingly common—forms of elder mistreatment is financial exploitation.
Across Ohio and the United States, thousands of nursing home residents fall victim to theft, fraud, or manipulation every year. Unlike physical neglect, financial exploitation often happens quietly, under the guise of trust or care.

When most people think of nursing home abuse, they picture physical harm—bruises, injuries, or neglect of medical needs. Yet one of the most damaging and underreported forms of mistreatment leaves no visible scars: emotional abuse.
In nursing homes across Ohio and the United States, emotional or psychological abuse quietly destroys the dignity, trust, and mental health of countless seniors. It is often harder to detect than physical abuse, but its impact can be equally—if not more—devastating.

Falls are among the most common and devastating accidents in nursing homes. For elderly residents, even a single fall can lead to broken bones, head injuries, loss of independence, or death. Families who trust nursing homes to provide safety are often shocked when their loved one suffers a preventable fall.
Across Ohio and the United States, thousands of nursing home residents experience falls every year—many of which result directly from negligence. These incidents are not just accidents; they are frequently failures in supervision, staffing, or facility safety.
