James Keim hold the preeminent AV rating
A Violation of Trust

A Violation of Trust.

When we place our loved ones into a nursing home or assisted living facility, we put our faith and trust in their company to do the right thing. Nursing home and assisted living corporations violate that trust when they negligently allow our family members to suffer serious harm and painful, untimely deaths. Understaffing these facilities with ill-equipped workers and prioritizing profit over the patients they are entrusted to care for is ABUSE.

Obtaining Accountability

Obtaining Accountability.

Nursing home and assisted living corporations that harm our seniors must be held accountable. Answers and the truth are only achieved through holding bad corporate operators accountable. The threat of private lawsuits are the one thing these corporations fear the most as they struggle to cover up incidents and sweep bad events and facts under the rug. I have been helping families obtain accountability for 30 years.

Helping to Improve the Quality of Care

Helping to Improve the Quality of Care.

By shining a light on and holding bad nursing home and assisted living corporations accountable, we can help to improve the quality of care for all Floridians.

Do you know the warning signs of nursing home neglect and abuse?

Bed sores, dehydration, weight loss and malnutrition and infections can all be signs of nursing home and assisted living neglect and abuse. Residents of Florida nursing homes and assisted living facilities have rights. If you believe that someone has suffered from abuse or neglect in a nursing home or ALF, call me to discuss your rights and the steps that may be taken to prevent this from happening again in the future to other residents.

“As a nursing home abuse lawyer with nearly 30 years of experience, I have represented people and families in St. Petersburg, Tampa, Clearwater, Bradenton, Sarasota, Venice, North Port, Englewood, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers, Naples and surrounding Florida communities. My law firm focuses on assisted living facility neglect and abuse, nursing home neglect and wrongful death cases. I advocate on behalf of elder abuse victims and seniors who seek justice for harm caused by the abusive practices of nursing home corporations and the assisted living industry.”

Attorney Keim was very gracious and obviously knowledgeable of the topic of nursing home care. On our very first inquiry, answered the phone and spent plenty of time with us… at no charge! It was a pleasant surprise considering most law offices charge by the minute for their time! I would not hesitate to call him if you need a good attorney who understands nursing home care and abuse issues.

I am so thankful to have found James Keim after my husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly while in the care of a rehabilitation/nursing home facility in Charlotte County. He handled my wrongful death case against the facility with compassion and professionalism. He and his staff helped me every step of the way through a tragic and emotional time. His legal expertise in handling neglect, abuse and , in my case, wrongful death by these institutions run by huge corporations is extensive. His intellect and thorough handling of the details were above superior. He was always available to personally take my phone calls and he and his staff went above and beyond. I know that I had he best representation possible. He fought hard and tirelessly to obtain a fair settlement for me. I completely trust him and would not hesitate for a second to recommend him.
