    “In my quarter of a century of representing the families of abuse and neglect victims, the one thing I hear more than anything is that they just don’t want what happened to their loved one to happen to someone else. If they can hold the nursing home accountable, their loved one’s harm can actually serve others – and that more than anything is what drives most of my clients – its also what drives me and my team. ”

    Pragmatic and sensitive!

    My family members and I worked with Attorney Musso over the course of three years. He was methodical, pragmatic and sensitive to our concerns. He was always responsive to our inquiries and suggestions and very enthusiastically with great patience, educated us on our particular legal process. In all of our interactions with Joe they were pleasant, easy to work with, and competent. I would certainly recommend him to others in need of highly professional legal guidance and/or representation.

    Where Can We Assist You?

    Bed sores are almost entirely preventable. If your loved one has a pressure ulcer injury, it's a direct result of neglect and poor quality of nursing care.
    One of the most heartbreaking causes of death or injury is when a resident gets their head, neck, or chest caught in the tight spaces that exist around bed rails.
    If you have been charged with a drug crime, you could be facing significant penalties, especially if you’ve been convicted in the past.
    If elderly patients receive the wrong dosing or medication, it can be fatal. That's why staff must be held accountable for errors.
    Since choking is common, nursing homes are responsible for prevention by assessing patient risk and providing supervision at all meal times.
    According to the Dept. of HHS, approximately one half of nursing home residents fall every year, and ten percent are seriously injured.

    Protecting the elderly since 1998.

    Caring Man,
    Great Elder Abuse Attorney.

    “Let’s face it, it takes guts to take on a nursing home corporation. Families often call me right after they’ve buried their loved one and they're experiencing tremendous guilt and pain. They can’t sleep at night because they chose this place. They trusted them, and that company betrayed that trust. 75% of the time by the time someone new calls my office they've already had a lawyer tell them they don’t have a case. Their mom or dad was “old”, “sick” and “dying” and "these things happen". They are often so relieved just to have someone who says “Yeah, it is terribly wrong what happened and I want to try and help you”.
