How we rank
This page is the method for the review last checked November 8, 2026. It restates the criteria already published on the homepage. We did not add new scoring factors for this standalone page.
We scored each firm on four things: 40% published nursing home or assisted living case results; 25% focus on nursing home cases; 20% volume of public reviews; 15% access (free consultation, languages, 24/7 intake). We used only facts we found on pages we fetched in November 2026. Ratings come from third-party sites (Avvo) and belong to the named attorney, not the whole firm.7, 13 Case results are reported by the firms themselves. Firms do not pay to be listed or ranked, and a ranking is not a claim that any firm is the best.
The ranked firm entries are on the homepage and as individual pages under firms. Citations point to the sources list.
