Guardianship and Nursing Home Litigation

DSMF has a wealth of experience representing institutional clients who provide long term care to elderly and infirmed residents. Our attorneys and nurse-attorneys offer a unique perspective on matters ranging from malpractice and decubitus ulcer cases to alleged nursing home abuse, use of chemical and physical restraints as well as the commencement and litigation of guardianship proceedings on behalf of alleged incapacitated residents with personal needs or property management issues.

Our experienced partners are frequently requested by our institutional clients to speak at risk management seminars and grand rounds and to provide expertise regarding the implementation of risk reduction protocol.
