A Guide for Hiring a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer in Dayton
When a loved one suffers harm in a Dayton nursing home, it’s hard to know where to turn. You may be wondering if you should call a lawyer, and what to expect if you do.
As both a registered nurse and an attorney focused on Ohio nursing home abuse cases, I help families in Dayton understand their options, investigate what went wrong, and take action when facilities fail to provide proper care.
Here’s what you can expect if you’re hiring a nursing home abuse lawyer in Dayton.
-
A free call with a Dayton attorney who listens
The process starts with a free call. I’ll ask about your concerns, explain what legal options may be available, and offer clear, compassionate guidance, with no pressure to commit.
Whether you’re in Dayton, Cleveland, Cincinnati or elsewhere throughout Ohio, I’ll listen with compassion and give you honest feedback about your next steps.
-
Reviewing records and building the case
If we decide to move forward, I’ll begin collecting records and evidence to build your case. This may include:
- Nursing home incident reports
- Medical records and care plans
- Inspection reports from the Ohio Department of Health
- Photos, videos, and documentation from the family
- Witness accounts from staff or other residents
I can also help filing an official complaint if needed. You can learn more about when and why to file an Ohio Department of Health complaint.

Combining legal strategy with medical expertise
My background as a nurse helps me spot warning signs and connect the dots in ways others may miss. I also work with qualified experts to review the medical details and strengthen your case.
Common cases I handle for Ohio families include:
- Slips, falls and fractures
- Choking and strangulation injuries
- Bedsores and pressure ulcers
- Prescription errors
- Wandering or escape
- Wrongful death

Fighting for justice, in or out of court
Most cases settle before trial. But I prepare thoroughly so we’re ready for any possibility. That gives your family confidence, and helps us negotiate from a position of strength.
I’ll handle the legal process while keeping you informed. You focus on your family. I’ll focus on accountability.
