Placing a loved one in a nursing home is a decision built on trust, but when that trust is broken, the results can be devastating. Neglect, abuse, and improper care in nursing facilities can lead to serious harm, emotional distress, and even life-threatening conditions.
At Small Law Firm, we stand up for elderly individuals and their families, holding negligent nursing homes accountable and seeking justice for those affected by mistreatment.
Nursing home residents deserve safety, dignity, and proper care. Unfortunately, neglect and abuse happen far too often. Common warning signs include:
✔ Physical abuse – Unexplained bruises, fractures, or bedsores.
✔ Emotional abuse – Sudden withdrawal, fear, or depression.
✔ Neglect – Malnutrition, dehydration, or unsanitary living conditions.
✔ Financial abuse – Unauthorized withdrawals or missing funds.

Attorney Craig Small not only returns phone calls, but he got me a settlement in a record amount of time. So refreshing to deal with a lawyer who treats me like an equally intelligent adult, instead of condescendingly talking down to me like most lawyers do. I highly recommend this law firm and will use them again.
Hands down best injury lawyer around very personal and friendly, you don’t speak to a whole bunch of people regarding your case Craig speaks directly to their clients!! Both are excellent !! Still thinking of their clients months after the case settled

Small law firm cares about their clients. They have treated me like I was a member of their own family. Getting through the entire process of courts and doctors was very easy with them being with me every step of the way and helping me to feel comfortable at every step
The people at Small Law Firm helped me deal with a situation following my getting hit by a car while on my bicycle by a person who was distracted. They were attentive, professional, and caring in their approach. I always felt they had my best interests in mind as they counseled and guided me through the very personal journey of getting restitution.
The greatest firm hands down. Craig and his team are compassionate and understanding and professional. They tell you what they can do and deliver!!!
I have been helped by this firm several times. Not just for my accident cases, but with other legal matters as well. They are attentive to your needs and go above and beyond to make sure you are totally taken care of. Even after my cases were settled, they reached out to me just to say hello and to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend this law firm. Thanks for all you do
