Welcome To The Missouri Nursing Home Law Project

This web site and the legal services offered in support of nursing home clients are the joint project of two Kansas City law firms.  The Bartimus, Frickleton, Robertson & Obetz, PC, law firm and The Law Offices of Tim Dollar handle their nursing home cases as a joint law project.  Clients get two firms -- meaning additional lawyers and support staff -- to help litigate their claim.  

The Bartimus firm has many decades of trial experience behind its commitment to the area of nursing home litigation.  Jim Bartimus and Chip Robertson are two of the more experienced litigators in this area.  Tony DeWitt brings his own special clinical expertise to the area.

Tim Dollar has more recent nursing home verdicts and settlements than any lawyer in the State of Missouri, and enjoys a national reputation as a nursing home advocate.  Tim Becker and Jill Kanatzar work with Mr. Dollar to ensure that clients get a fair shake in the judicial process. 

The two law firms together are available to right the wrongs of the nursing home that fails in its obligations to its residents.

Do you think you may have a claim against a nursing home for the abuse or neglect of a loved one.  Click Here for more information.

Would you know how to spot abuse of a loved one.  Click Here for answers.

The information set forth here is intended to help clients and potential clients deal with the issues of nursing home abuse.

This page is meant to serve as a resource for families who have loved ones in nursing homes in the midwest.  Our aim on this page is to provide helpful links to resources that will help you ensure that your loved one's stay in a skilled nursing facility is as safe and pleasant as it can be.

Safety is important.  Nursing homes can be good places to enjoy the golden years, or they can be places of neglect, abuse, and in some cases, torture.  Finding the right nursing home is important, and knowing your legal rights (and your loved one's rights) is just as important.
