Our Mission
"To use litigation as a tool to bring reform to a system that
condones the abuse and neglect of elders and dependent adults."
The current state of available quality care for elders and
dependent adults is appalling. Understaffing, inadequate record
keeping and a general attitude of indifference in facilities
responsible for health and safety are only a few examples of how
our elderly and dependent adults are grossly mistreated.
Bedsores, malnutrition, dehydration, infections and a denial of
basic human dignities are now considered the standard result
when placing a loved one in a care facility. Currently many care
providers promote their own financial gain by inadequately
attending to the health and safety of those for whose care they
are responsible. This needs to stop. By holding health care
providers to their licensing responsibilities, non-compliant
administrators will find maintaining a substandard facility more
costly.
Our firm utilizes the skills of one of the most successful elder
abuse litigators in the country, but we act not only in the
scope of a law firm. More importantly, we strive to change
policy through lobbying, education, advocacy and the promotion
of public awareness. Through our litigation we want to stop
financial gain as a product of abuse by making it more
cost-effective to care properly for our nation's elderly.
