Long Island Nursing Home Abuse Attorney
Understanding Your Elderly Loved Ones' Rights
Placing a parent, grandparent, or loved one in a nursing home is not an easy choice. Typically, nursing homes will give you a tour of the facility to put your mind at ease, but not all of these facilities or their staff are as honest or as committed to their job as you may think. Sadly, nursing home abuse is reported in homes all across the country (as approximately one-third of homes have been cited).

Excellent lawyer! I live out of state and needed a lawyer in NY I could trust. He made no promises, always upfront about the possible outcomes. He always worked very hard to get me the results I needed. He came through every time! He understood my financial circumstances and worked with me so I could hire him within my budget. Best money I ever spent! He’s honest and trustworthy, and I’m grateful for his help in more than one legal matter. I can’t say enough great things about Greg.- Ted R.
