We Know How The Other Side Approaches These Cases
Attorney Dusti Harvey has advocated for victims of nursing home abuse since 2005. Prior to forming her own law firm, Ms. Harvey directed all aspects of litigation as in-house corporate counsel for a national nursing home chain. For more than six years she led that company’s alternative dispute resolution program, mediating more than 1,500 lawsuits across the U.S. from the other side.
When her grandmother entered a long-term care facility, Ms. Harvey realized how little most family members understand about their legal rights. She has represented victims and families in cases of nursing home abuse and neglect ever since, leveraging her background to provide clients with both the empathetic advocate and no-nonsense negotiator they deserve.
We can discuss your case during a free, no-obligation consultation and recommend the best steps to take next. Call (505) 295-2245. Se habla español.
If you have a family member who is the victim of nursing home abuse or negligence, or your life has been turned upside down by an incident that has left you or a loved one seriously or fatally injured, contact us today.

What does an elder abuse attorney do?An elder abuse attorney provides legal assistance to families and victims of mistreatment, neglect, or exploitation in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other care environments. These attorneys investigate claims of abuse, gather evidence, and file lawsuits to hold negligent parties accountable. A dedicated Albuquerque elder abuse attorney can also help secure compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by abuse.
-
How can I determine if my loved one has suffered elder abuse?Identifying elder abuse may require a close observation of physical, emotional, and behavioral signs. Physical indications include unexplained bruises, fractures, or bedsores, while behavioral changes like fearfulness, withdrawal, or agitation may suggest emotional abuse. Financial exploitation can be identified by unusual bank transactions or missing property. A nursing home abuse trial lawyer in New Mexico can evaluate your concerns and determine whether legal action is warranted.
-
How can an Albuquerque trial attorney prove elder abuse in court?To prove elder abuse, your attorney will collect and present critical evidence, including medical records, photographs of injuries, witness statements, and expert testimony. Detailed documentation of the facility’s policies and procedures, as well as staff training and supervision practices, can also be pivotal. A qualified nursing home abuse trial lawyer in New Mexico will strategically use this evidence to demonstrate negligence or intentional misconduct in court.
-
What should I bring to my initial consultation with an elder abuse attorney?When meeting with your attorney, bring any available evidence, such as medical records, photographs of injuries, incident reports, communication with the facility, and a timeline of events. These materials will help the attorney assess your case and advise on the next steps. An experienced Albuquerque elder abuse attorney will guide you through the process and start building your case right away.
-
How do I choose the best trial attorney for an elder abuse case?Choosing the right attorney involves reviewing their experience with elder abuse and nursing home cases, and their track record. Look for a nursing home abuse trial lawyer in New Mexico who has successfully litigated similar cases, communicates clearly, and demonstrates empathy for your family’s situation. A strong trial attorney will also have the skills and resources needed to take your case to court if necessary. Also, check to find out what their clients have to say about their service.
