A lot of clients are nervous when they find out they have to give a deposition. The process starts
with explaining exactly what it is: who will be in the room, what the room looks like, and how the
whole thing works. When someone understands the rules going in, they're already less anxious.
But the most effective preparation comes from sitting down and asking clients what they're actually
scared about, whether that's what to wear or something deeper about the case itself. Talking
through those fears out loud is what really gets someone ready.

There are wins in a case that clients never even know happened.

The biggest ones celebrated
around here are motions to compel. The client doesn't see it, the press doesn't cover it, but
winning one means the defendants have to produce evidence they were fighting to keep hidden.

That's what moves a case forward, and it's worth celebrating every time it happens even if nobody
outside this office knows it did.

When I'm taking depositions of CEOs and key management witnesses, it's common to have a
team of several defense lawyers sitting across from me.

Attorneys from Washington D.C., the LA office, the New York office, all there for one deposition. Our response is always the same: bring it on. If you need that many people from that many places, it says something about how they see the threat on the other side of the table.

The truth is the best weapon in the room, and that's exactly why they need so many lawyers.

Just came back from a court appearance last Friday. There were seven attorneys on the corporate
defense side and our team on the other. That's not unusual in these cases. It's the classic David
and Goliath setup, and we are David every single time. The difference is we're on the right side of
it, and our job is to take Goliath down and make sure our seniors are seen, visible, and cared for.
Being outnumbered has never changed the outcome.

Most nursing facilities are ultimately owned by companies that have nothing to do with healthcare.

It's a real estate play. A skilled nursing facility generates more revenue per building than almost
anything else you can do with that land, so corporations buy in, layer the ownership structure, and
siphon money out through understaffing and cutting corners on care. The residents suffer for it
because their wellbeing was never really the business model. If the quality of care is going to
meaningfully change, those corporations need to get out of the elder care industry entirely.

When clients describe what this work means to them, three words come up consistently:
validation, closure, and healing. Validation that what they felt was wrong really was wrong, and
that their family paid the price for it. Closure from standing up and speaking out about what
happened. And healing, the ability to actually grieve, say proper goodbyes, and move forward from
one of the most painful chapters of their lives. That's what holding a bad operator accountable
makes possible for a family.

Nursing home operators, this is a message directly to you. Our elders are not your line items.
When we go into discovery, we pull the corporate spreadsheets, and we see what you're actually
tracking: census, admissions, return on investment. What's not in those spreadsheets are patient
names, what their clinical needs are, and how you plan to deliver care to meet those needs. That
information should be driving your business decisions the same way your revenue numbers do.
Lives over line items. Return to why you're in business.

Corporate offices are tracking return on investment, census, and spreadsheet metrics. Families are tracking whether their mom or dad is actually getting care. Those two things should not be in conflict, but they are. A business has to be financially viable, and that's understood. The problem is these operators have scaled senior care so far in the direction of revenue optimization that they've lost sight of the reason they're in business at all. Delivering care has to be one of the metrics they measure themselves against.

People think elder abuse law is one thing. The reality is something entirely different.

Complex investigations. Meaningful advocacy. Holding corporations accountable. Helping families pursue answers and justice.

If you're looking for work that makes a real impact, we're currently hiring attorneys, paralegals, recruiters, and operations professionals to support our growing team.

Families touring nursing homes ask about amenities, staffing ratios, visiting hours. One question almost never gets asked: what citations has this facility received?

That information is publicly available through the Department of Public Health and Department of Social Services websites. But asking during the tour tells you something additional, how the facility responds. An honest answer about past issues signals a certain kind of transparency. A denial of citations that clearly exist isn't just a bad sign. It's fraud.

The tour is a sales pitch. It doesn't have to be only that. Ask the hard question and see what comes back.
