Gilbert Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers
Gilbert Nursing Home Abuse Lawyers. Attorneys Kenneth LaBore, Esq. and Suzanne Scheller, Esq. have separate firms but work together on many serious injury elder abuse and neglect and wrongful death cases splitting the contingent fee at no additional expense to the client. Neither attorney is paid unless they win a verdict or get a settlement offered by the wrongdoer. Nursing home neglect and abuse cases are complicated claims and often involve allegations which require expert witness support and use of wrongful death statutes.
Mr. LaBore and Ms. Scheller only handle cases with very serious injury, assault or death. They work hard to get accountability from facilities and to ensure as much as possible that policy and procedure and other changes including training are made to protect residents still in the facility.
We represent clients and their families throughout the state of Minnesota and will come to meet with you if you are unable to meet in one of our offices.
