A Look at Our Firm’s History
Dawn and Curtis' meeting traces back to the University of North Texas (UNT). Having both graduated from UNT, their paths crossed at a university-related event where they discovered a shared passion for law and justice. Their initial encounter blossomed into a mentorship dynamic, with Curtis taking Dawn under his wing and sharing his wealth of experience and knowledge in the legal field. As their professional relationship deepened, they realized the potential of combining their strengths and aspirations to make a meaningful impact in the legal industry.
Inspired by shared values and a shared vision for advocating on behalf of those in need, Dawn and Curtis decided to join forces and embark on a journey together in the legal profession. Their collaboration is rooted in mutual respect, trust, and a shared commitment to excellence in serving their clients and upholding the principles of justice and fairness.
Through their partnership, Dawn and Curtis have not only curated a formidable legal team, but have also built a strong foundation based on camaraderie, collaboration, and a shared dedication to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
In 2020, after careful consideration and strategic planning, the Partners made a pivotal decision to narrow their focus and specialize exclusively in nursing home cases. This shift represents the firm’s unwavering commitment to addressing a critical issue affecting our society's most vulnerable members — the elderly.
As they stand today, they proudly reflect on their journey as a diverse plaintiff’s firm, where the firm served a broad spectrum of cases across various legal domains for over 20 years. Throughout that time, they passionately advocated for individuals and families, seeking justice and fair compensation for those who have been wronged.
By concentrating all efforts on nursing home litigation, the firm directs all resources, expertise, and advocacy towards a singular cause, maximizing impact and effectiveness in this important area of law. This decision reflects Curtis and Dawn’s dedication to making a meaningful difference in the lives of nursing home residents and their families, holding accountable those who fail to provide the care and dignity every individual deserves.
While the firm’s focus has evolved, our core values remain unchanged. We continue to uphold our commitment to being fearless in the face of injustice, compassionate for those who have suffered and lost, and always striving to make a difference. As a specialized nursing home abuse litigation firm, we are dedicated to pursuing justice, seeking accountability, and advocating for positive change in nursing home care standards nationwide.
