Avery Adcock has dedicated her career to representing
victims of abuse and neglect in nursing homes, hospitals and assisted living
facilities across the country. Ms. Adcock also handles cases involving
catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death.
Ms. Adcock understands that for many clients and their
families, this is the first time they have ever had to contact an attorney. She
understands that you placed your trust in a facility to care for your loved one
and feel that you have been lied to or let down. Avery and her team will guide
you through each step of the process to ensure that the negligent individual,
nursing home or medical provider is held accountable. At Senior Justice Law
Firm, we devote the same time and attention to each case as if it was our loved
one who suffered abuse or neglect at the hands of the facility.
With every resolution Avery obtains, she hopes to shed light
on some of the systemic issues that have plagued the nursing home industry for
years. A recognized speaker on the topic of elder abuse and neglect, Avery
educates other attorneys across the country with the overall goal of improving
the quality of care in nursing homes and healthcare facilities nationwide.
Before joining Senior Justice Law Firm, Ms. Adcock was a
trial attorney in the nursing home litigation department of a prominent
plaintiff’s personal injury law firm, litigating cases against nursing homes
and assisted living facilities in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. Ms.
Adcock has successfully recovered millions of dollars for families effected by
elder abuse, neglect and negligence.
A Virginia native, Avery is very active in her community and
serves on the board of the District of Columbia Trial Lawyers Association and
Virginia Trial Lawyers Association. She also is involved in the Maryland
Association for Justice.
Avery Adcock serves as pro bono counsel for AARP’s Legal
Counsel for the Elderly’s Pro Bono Access to Justice Practice, which handles a
multitude of civil legal issues affecting D.C., Virginia and Maryland residents
with limited means, such as ensuring that seniors receive public benefits like
Medicaid.
When she is not in court advocating for vulnerable senior
citizens, Ms. Adcock enjoys traveling, running, watching Alabama football, and
spending time with her husband and dog, Hemingway.
