No family expects abuse or neglect when choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility. Sadly, the reality is that too many seniors and family members across the Capital Region of New York—including Albany, Schenectady, and Plattsburgh—have learned the cold, harsh reality of the long-term care industry. Seniors and the disabled are among our most vulnerable citizens. When their voices go unheard, the consequences can be devastating.
Michael Hill Trial Law is the most prominent and nationally respected nursing home abuse and neglect law firm in America, consistently achieving record-setting results. As the state capital, Albany is the political and major cultural center of New York State, with a legal infrastructure that handles complex litigation, including a recent major jury verdict against a local nursing home for wrongful death. At Michael Hill Trial Law, we bring that same dedication and determination to every case—fighting for New York families with skill, compassion, and relentless drive. If your loved one has suffered abuse or neglect in a care facility, we’re ready to help you get the answers—and the accountability—you deserve.
