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 most people think about nursing home abuse, they imagine physical harm or neglect. But there is another form of mistreatment that often goes unnoticed — financial exploitation.
Every year, thousands of seniors in long-term care facilities lose money, assets, or property because someone took advantage of their trust. Sometimes, it’s a staff member stealing directly from a resident’s room. Other times, it’s more subtle — a caregiver manipulating a resident into signing checks, changing wills, or giving away valuables.

When families choose a nursing home for their loved one, they expect safe and attentive care. However, behind the welcoming smiles and clean lobbies, many facilities face a dangerous and growing crisis — chronic understaffing.
Across the United States, nursing home understaffing has become one of the most common causes of neglect and injury among elderly residents. With too few caregivers on duty, basic needs often go unmet, medications are missed, and serious emergencies are overlooked.

When families entrust a loved one to a nursing home, they expect compassionate care, professionalism, and safety. Unfortunately, that trust is sometimes broken. Across the United States, elder abuse and neglect in long-term care facilities remain widespread problems, affecting thousands of vulnerable residents every year.
While the terms abuse and neglect are often used together, they have distinct meanings — and recognizing the difference can make all the difference in protecting your loved one’s rights. Neglect is a failure to provide necessary care, while abuse is the deliberate act of causing harm. Both can lead to devastating consequences, from physical injuries to deep emotional trauma.

When families place an elderly loved one in a nursing home, they want reassurance that the facility is safe, compassionate, and well-managed. But how can families truly know what happens behind closed doors when they are not present? One of the most important safeguards comes in the form of state inspections of nursing homes. These inspections are designed to enforce standards, uncover neglect, and ensure residents are treated with dignity and respect.
While no system is perfect, inspections remain a cornerstone of accountability in long-term care. Understanding how they work, what they look for, and where they sometimes fall short can empower families to protect their loved ones.
