We fight to protect the rights of our elderly and their families.
Exclusively Focused on Georgia Nursing Home Abuse
At Holbert Law, our sole mission is to combat nursing home abuse across Georgia, from the urban sprawl of Atlanta to the quiet towns of the countryside. With over 1,000 nursing homes and assisted living facilites statewide, Georgia’s elderly population faces a heightened risk of mistreatment—whether it’s physical abuse like unexplained bruises, neglect leading to bedsores or dehydration, or financial exploitation draining savings. Our Georgia nursing home abuse lawyers understand the unique challenges in this state, including underfunded facilities, staffing shortages, and lax oversight, which can erode the quality of care your loved ones deserve. We’re here to protect seniors in cities like Atlanta, Savannah, College Park, and Jonesboro and throughout the State of Georgia, ensuring justice is served.
Our primary focus on Georgia nursing home abuse sets us apart. We’re well-versed in the state’s legal framework, including Georgia’s Bill of Rights for Residents of Long-Term Care Facilities, which guarantees dignity, safety, and proper care. Families may notice warning signs such as sudden health declines, fear of staff, or missing personal belongings—indicators we help you recognize and address. As dedicated Georgia nursing home abuse attorneys, we offer comprehensive resources: how to spot abuse, steps to report violations to the Georgia Department of Community Health, and strategies to pursue compensation through litigation. Whether your loved one is in a rural care home or a metro facility, Holbert Law stands ready to fight for their rights.

Addressing Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect in Georgia
Nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Georgia are legally obligated to provide a safe, dignified environment for their residents. Tragically, far too many fail to meet this standard, resulting in cases of physical abuse, emotional neglect, and medical malpractice. At Holbert Law, we’ve witnessed the devastating consequences of these failures—bedsores from improper care, malnutrition due to neglect, unexplained injuries, medication errors, and even wrongful death. Our Atlanta-based team is dedicated to investigating every aspect of your case, from reviewing medical records to interviewing witnesses, to uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable.
Whether your loved one resides in a facility in metro Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, or any corner of Georgia, Holbert Law is prepared to step in. We understand that nursing home abuse isn’t just a legal issue—it’s a deeply personal one. Families often feel guilt, anger, and helplessness when they discover a loved one has been mistreated. That’s why we approach every case with empathy and determination, ensuring you have a voice and a path to justice. Our firm operates on a contingency basis, meaning there are no upfront fees—we don’t get paid unless we win for you. This commitment removes financial barriers, allowing you to focus on what matters most: your family.
Common Signs of Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Recognizing the signs of mistreatment is the first step toward protecting your loved one. At Holbert Law, we educate families on what to look for, drawing from our extensive experience in these cases. Physical abuse may manifest as bruises, fractures, or burns, often dismissed by staff as “accidents.” Neglect can lead to bedsores (pressure ulcers), dehydration, or sudden weight loss—conditions that should never occur with proper care. Emotional abuse might be harder to spot but can include withdrawal, fearfulness, or unexplained changes in behavior. If you’ve noticed any of these red flags, it’s time to act.
Our team also handles cases involving financial exploitation, where residents’ assets are misused, and medical negligence, such as improper medication administration or failure to treat chronic conditions. Each case is unique, and we tailor our approach to the specific circumstances, ensuring no detail is overlooked. By partnering with medical experts and leveraging our legal expertise, we build compelling cases that demand accountability from nursing homes, their staff, and their corporate owners.
Our Proven Process for Justice
When you choose Holbert Law, you’re not just hiring a lawyer—you’re gaining a dedicated ally. Our process begins with a free, no-obligation consultation, where we listen to your story and assess the merits of your case. From there, we conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence like facility records, staff logs, and witness statements. Bill and Joan’s background defending nursing homes gives them a keen eye for spotting discrepancies and weaknesses in the opposition’s claims.
Once we’ve built a strong case, we pursue every avenue for justice—whether through negotiation for a fair settlement or taking the fight to the courtroom. Our track record speaks for itself: millions recovered for clients across Georgia, from small assisted living facilities to large corporate chains. We’re not afraid to go up against powerful insurers or well-funded legal teams because we believe no one should profit from neglecting the elderly. Our goal is twofold: to secure the compensation you deserve and to prevent future harm by exposing systemic failures in care.

Based in Atlanta, Holbert Law proudly serves families throughout the state, offering the resources of a large firm with the personal attention of a dedicated team.
