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 we think of nursing home injuries, we often picture falls, infections, or pressure ulcers. Yet one of the most sudden and fatal threats in long-term care facilities is choking. Elderly residents—especially those with cognitive disorders, neurological issues, or difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)—are highly vulnerable to airway obstruction during meals or medication administration.
In nursing homes across the country, one of the clearest and most tragic indicators of neglect is the development of bedsores—also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers. These painful skin and tissue injuries form when a resident remains in one position for too long without relief, especially in bony areas like the heels, hips, lower back, and shoulders.
When families choose a nursing home for a loved one, they expect safety, compassion, and professional care. But what happens when the danger comes not from staff—but from another resident?
In nursing homes, where residents often rely on multiple medications to manage chronic health conditions, accuracy in drug administration is not just important—it’s a matter of life and death. Yet across the country, medication errors are shockingly common, causing serious injuries, preventable hospitalizations, and even wrongful deaths.
