The foregoing cases are in no way all-inclusive, nor a complete list of all cases handled by David or the Firm. It is our hope to give the prospective client a good idea of the abilities of this Firm to represent clients in any number of matters. It should also be noted that many potential cases were investigated, only to be declined due to lack of merit as determined by the Firm. Favorable results are never guaranteed.
It should also be noted that many cases were not listed, that are very similar in nature to those above. This is particularly true with respect to Nursing Home matters. The Firm has handled to a satisfactory conclusion, many complaints and lawsuits involving bed sores, malnutrition, dehydration, broken bones, falls, and death. Those listed above are just a few.
