Review By: Jonathan W. Reich, Esq., NAELA News - November 1, 1999

Screening cases that may appear at an attorney’s office is critical. The book is especially valuable in its discussion of theories of recovery; guidance for defending nursing homes and the use of expert witnesses.
The book is also an excellent resource for those serious litigators who decide to move into the area of nursing home litigation and who are not familiar with its complexities. Although not addressed to non-litigators, they will benefit from the book.
Nursing Home Litigation: Investigation and Case Preparation will be a useful and practical addition to the library of the nursing home litigator as well as the general elder law attorney.
