Focusing our practice in the area of elder and dependent adult abuse and neglect, serious personal injury and medical malpractice, the attorneys of Valentine Law Group represent the victims of negligence, neglect and abuse throughout California. According to recent statistics, there are approximately 225,000 incidents of elder abuse and nursing home neglect in California each year. [1] Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Riverside counties alone are responsible for almost half of all instances of abuse and neglect in the State. It is therefore imperative that victims of that abuse, and those positioned to advocate on their behalf, such as Valentine Law Group, take every action to bring justice to those victims, and as well make every effort to prevent future instances of neglect and abuse. Our attorneys have extensive litigation and trial experience, and have obtained substantial verdict awards for their clients both at the negotiating table and throughout California’s courtrooms. Principal attorney Kimberly A. Valentine has obtained multiple punitive damage awards at trial against some of the largest corporate nursing home chains in the country. For her tireless work, Ms. Valentine has twice been named an Orange County “Top Gun” by the Orange County Trial Lawyers Association for her trial work in the area of elder abuse and neglect, and was a finalist for the prestigious “Street Fighter” award by the Consumer Attorneys of California in 2008.
