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?

Infections in nursing homes are often overlooked until it's too late. What may begin as a minor health issue can quickly escalate into a life-threatening crisis when proper infection control procedures are ignored. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we represent families whose loved ones suffered — or died — due to preventable infections in long-term care facilities. These cases aren’t just about germs; they’re about systemic failures in basic caregiving.
When a loved one passes away in a nursing home, families are left grieving, searching for answers, and often wondering whether more could have been done. While death is an inevitable part of life, not all deaths in elder care facilities are natural or unavoidable. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we help families uncover the truth behind suspicious or preventable deaths and hold nursing homes legally accountable for their role in wrongful death cases.
Nursing home abuse is a tragic and all-too-common reality for many vulnerable seniors across the United States. While most families place their loved ones in care facilities with the expectation of safety and compassion, what many encounter instead is a system riddled with neglect, exploitation, and, in some cases, outright violence. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we believe that preventing nursing home abuse begins with exposing its roots and holding negligent institutions accountable — not only for justice but to protect future residents.
Medication mistakes in nursing homes represent one of the most dangerous yet overlooked forms of elder neglect. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we've seen how these errors—ranging from wrong dosages to deadly drug interactions—can cause irreversible harm to vulnerable residents. What makes these cases particularly tragic is that they are almost always preventable with proper staffing, training, and oversight.
The types of medication errors we commonly encounter reveal systemic problems in elder care facilities. Residents may receive incorrect medications because staff fail to double-check prescriptions or properly manage medication carts. Others suffer from missed doses when overworked nurses can't maintain proper schedules. Some of the most severe cases involve dangerous drug combinations that occur when facilities don't maintain accurate medication records or ignore allergy warnings.
