How Sokolove Law Can Help

Often, elder abuse is committed in nursing home care facilities owned by massive corporations that are worth millions of dollars. With our national reach and extensive resources, Sokolove Law focuses on leveling the playing field between victims of abuse and these large companies.

By partnering with us, you’ll be working with a team of nursing home abuse lawyers who will stand in your corner and fight to protect you and your family. Here are some of the fundamental ways Sokolove Law supports its clients.

Attorney Advice

Sokolove Law’s nursing home abuse attorneys provide invaluable advice and services to victims and family members seeking justice against assisted living facilities.

An attorney may be able to estimate the potential value of your case (how much money you could recover in a lawsuit), explain your legal options, and advise you on the best course of action.

Filing a Claim

We excel at boiling down an extremely complex legal process into a series of simple, concrete actions. We can handle every step of the legal process on your behalf, from collecting evidence and filing a complaint to negotiating settlements.

Settlement vs. Verdict

With our decades’ worth of experience, we know when to take a settlement offer and when to go to trial, how to present the strongest case, and how to recover as much nursing home abuse compensation for our clients as possible.

Top Qualities of a Nursing Home Abuse Law Firm

You can separate the top nursing home abuse law firms from the rest by looking for the qualities below. Sokolove Law prides itself on being a people-first law firm that not only meets these qualities but exceeds them.

A Good Track Record

Nursing home law firms should have a proven track record of success. They should have dozens — if not hundreds or thousands — of successful outcomes in nursing home abuse lawsuits.

As of October 2024, Sokolove Law has recovered over $280 Million for victims of nursing home negligence and abuse, including:

  • $2 Million for a woman in Pennsylvania
  • $1 Million for a nursing home patient with dementia in California
  • $1.75 Million for a woman in Ohio whose daughter passed away
  • $1.2 Million for an elderly woman in Chicago
  • $1.35 Million for a patient with a shoulder injury in Alabama
  • $1 Million for a woman whose mother passed away in California

Communication

At Sokolove Law, we believe that strong, clear communication is the foundation of a positive attorney-client relationship. Our case managers, paralegals, and attorneys want to hear your stories. We respond to questions in a timely manner, explaining the law in a way that’s easy to understand.

Decades of Experience

Ten years of experience is good — but multiple decades’ worth of experience is far better. The amount of time a firm has been in business is a key indicator of its success.

Additionally, a firm with ample experience can help you learn how to understand and spot the warning signs of abuse.

Our nursing home abuse firm has over 45 years of experience providing legal counsel and supporting families like yours.

Fair Terms

A quality nursing home law firm is an investment well worth making for many victims. However, potential clients should have an idea of typical legal fee ranges for their area and situation.

Law firms must be transparent about any fees they charge, what services are and are not included, and how payment will be handled.

Sokolove Law works on a contingency-fee basis, meaning we only receive a portion of the verdict or settlement if your case is successful.

The best nursing home abuse law firms will listen to your story, provide a free consultation, and, if you’re eligible, begin working on your case right away — without any down payments or out-of-pocket fees.

Dedicated to Nursing Home Abuse Cases

Good nursing home abuse law firms are not a dime a dozen. In the United States, nursing home abuse cases are a very specific area of law that requires deep knowledge of the rules and regulations of elder law, local state laws, statutes of limitations, and other legal nuances.

Some law firms are willing to take a case that involves nursing home abuse but lack the experience and skill required to obtain a full recovery for their client.

For decades, Sokolove Law has fought on behalf of those affected by nursing home abuse, securing millions of dollars in compensation for families affected by elder abuse.

Connect with Our Trusted Nursing Home Abuse Law Firm

If you’ve seen some of the signs of nursing home abuse at your loved one’s long-term care facility, you deserve answers, and your loved one deserves justice. If your family member has been physically or sexually abused, or neglected to the point of injury, you and your family may be eligible for financial compensation.

At Sokolove Law, we understand that compensation will not undo the damage your family has suffered if your loved one has been abused. However, it may help you find better care for your loved one and demand accountability from the facilities and nursing home staff members who may be at fault.
