Frequently Asked Questions

What is nursing home neglect and abuse?

Neglect occurs any time a nursing home fails to provide essential services or to keep your loved one safe. Bed sores, falls, medication errors, infection and assault are frequently signs of neglect or abuse which can arise from carelessness or willful abuse.

How do you approach medical malpractice cases?

We will use our expertise and experience to evaluate your case as part of a free initial consultation. If it makes sense, we will then investigate the incident and fight on your behalf in court and with any involved insurance companies.

What are the fees for a personal injury case?

In most personal injury cases, fees are contingent. We are paid only if we obtain a recovery for you, and we are paid out of the recovery amount. Before we begin to avoid any misunderstandings, we will enter into a contract with you that spells out what these fees will be.

What is a will contest

A poorly developed or implemented estate plan, Will, or Trust can result in family members willing to resort to Probate Court to resolve estate issues. If this is necessary we can provide the advice and assistance you need.

How experienced are you in this type of work?

The lawyers and staff at our firm are professionals in our areas of practice. We will help you understand what the law can do for you and give you the advice you need to make informed decisions.

 

What happens first?

Please call or email us. We can then schedule the first meeting to discuss your needs. Our goal is to give you an opportunity to ask basic questions about our attorneys and your goals. When we meet, we can outline an approach for solving your legal problem, describe possible outcomes and review our experience in that area.
