Law Office of Gregory L. Johnson

In April of 2012, I offered to settle one of my cases (Lemaire v. Covenant Care) for $199,000. At that same time, the defense lawyer (Tom Beach) offered me $60,000. Monday, Jody Moore and I were awarded $841,842 in attorneys fees and $93,000 in costs which, combined with the verdict of $270,000, resulted in a total judgment of just over $1.2 Million. AND YET, somebody will hear about our result and blame the Plaintiff's lawyer for the high cost of litigation!

AARP Joins the Fight! Humbled and thrilled to report that AARP Legal Foundation has joined as co-counsel in my Class Action case involving over-medication of nursing home residents without consent. AARP Press Release goes out tomorrow!

Hearing what the defense put this poor family through should surprise nobody, but is yet another reason to be happy with this verdict.

The Ventura County Star did a nice article today about AARP Legal Foundation joining the Class Action lawsuit Jody Moore and I filed in Ventura County. As the article points out, and Dr. Proffett admits, the practice of providing drugs to patients without permission or consent was rampant for years. We are actively seeking witnesses as well as potential Class Representatives to this practice from any of the nursing homes in Ventura County in the last three years. If you know... anyone who was prescribed behavioral medications in a Ventura County Nursing Home in the last three years, please encourage them to call me. Dr. Proffett says he has stopped this dangerous (and illegal) practice, but we don't yet know the full scope of the problem. http://www.vcstar.com//aarp-joins-antipsychotic-drug-laws/

Yes, we dress up for Halloween!

Unfortunately, falsified records are something we find in over half of our nursing home cases. Great article.

Great Article about my work for a client wrongfully evicted. http://www.newtimesslo.com/news/6593/the-long-road-home/
