Florida Elder Abuse Attorneys
Giving a Voice to the Vulnerable
At Ford, Dean & Rotundo, PA., we are committed to protecting the rights and well-being of elders. Far too often, vulnerable seniors in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and other care facilities become targets of abuse, neglect, and mistreatment. Sometimes, this abuse occurs at the hands of trusted caregivers; other times, it is carried out by fellow residents. In any case, elderly victims of such treatment, along with their families, deserve justice.
Our Florida elder abuse attorneys understand how devastating it is to find out that your loved one has been victimized. As your legal team, we will help you take action to hold the responsible parties accountable. We will also fight to help ensure that such abuse does not happen again.
If your elderly loved one has been harmed by the negligence or misconduct of someone else, reach out to our team today to schedule a free initial consultation: (305) 909-6541.

Who We Represent
Our team represents seniors and their families throughout the state of Florida. We also handle cases involving abuse of developmentally disabled adults in group homes.
Our singular focus on nursing home and elder abuse gives us an edge when it comes to understanding the law and advocating for our clients. We bring more than 50 years of experience to every case, an advantage that allows us to protect the vulnerable and hold wrongdoers accountable. While we recognize that no amount of financial compensation can negate or undo the pain, suffering, and trauma your family has been through, we have also seen firsthand how successful elder abuse and nursing home negligence lawsuits provide individuals and families with the monetary resources they need to heal.
We are proud to have earned the respect of our peers throughout our decades in practice. Our attorneys have been recognized for their commitment to their clients and to achieving results, earning numerous awards and accolades from prestigious legal organizations, including the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, AVVO, Super Lawyers®, and Martindale-Hubbell®. Additionally, both T. Patrick Ford, the firm’s senior partner, and William A. Dean, our managing partner, are Board-Certified in Civil Trial Law by the Florida Bar and the National Board of Trial Advocacy, a unique distinction held by only a small percentage of the state’s practicing attorneys. This distinction earns both Attorney Ford and Attorney Dean the right to be labeled “experts” in the area of civil trial law.
