Protecting the vulnerable. Pursuing justice with compassion.

At Laskin Balma, we stand with elders, dependent adults, and families affected by neglect or abuse. We provide the advocacy, diligence, and legal strength needed to hold wrongdoers accountable and protect those who deserve better.


Neglect & Abuse Law

When trusted caregivers or institutions fail to provide safe, respectful treatment, the consequences can be devastating. At Laskin Balma, we represent victims of nursing home abuse, elder neglect, and mistreatment in care facilities across Northern California. We pursue justice with urgency and compassion—helping families protect their loved ones and hold negligent parties accountable.

Nursing Home Abuse

We represent victims of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities, ensuring their rights are enforced and dignity restored.


Neglect in Care Settings

From dehydration and malnutrition to unsanitary conditions and inadequate supervision, we fight for individuals harmed by long-term neglect or understaffing.


Wrongful Death & Systemic Failure

We pursue claims on behalf of families who’ve lost loved ones due to neglect or abuse, holding institutions accountable for dangerous and deadly oversight failures.
