Founded by pioneering nursing home attorneys Steve Levin and John Perconti, our firm has been providing premiere representation to the people of Illinois since 1992.

Selecting an attorney or law firm to represent you in a lawsuit can be a daunting task for people that do not have legal experience, but it does not have to be. During your selection process, it is important that you choose a firm with a proven record of success in litigating against Illinois nursing homes and extended care facilities, and that you select a law firm that has previously handled cases that are similar to your situation. Every legal situation is unique, but by selecting a law firm that has experience with nursing home litigation, and the resources that are required to successfully litigate complex matters you can help to ensure results which will provide you with the full value that represents fair compensation for the damages caused to you or your loved one.
If you have a friend or loved one who is in residence in a nursing home or assisted living facility, it is important that you learn how to identify the signs of nursing home abuse or neglect so you will be able to tell when intervention is needed. These signs are fairly varied, but some of the more common ones include:
- Dehydration
- Weight loss
- Injuries caused by falls
- Poor hygiene or a disheveled appearance
- Unclean conditions
- Bed sores
- Unexplained cuts, bumps or bruises
- Sprains and/or broken bones
- Unexplained changes in mood or outlook
- Uncharacteristic depression
- Changes in activities or schedules on the part of the resident

Testimonials
Not only were they so professional but also so caring and thoughtful. It was very difficult going over the facts in our mother's case but they were so compassionate and understanding and allowed us to be with them every step of the way. We were able to sit in on the depositions and we were really able to see how hard they worked on our behalf.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Perconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude.
They were most patient and responded timely to many questions throughout the entire process. All demonstrated professionalism and extensive knowledge of case and state laws. Their in-depth investigative work uncovered details which were unknown to us and yet sadly confirmed our suspicions. We would recommend the Levin and Perconti Law firm and especially this team.
During that time, my family and I suffered the loss of my mother. Mr. Levin and Mr. Peconti were more than just our lawyers. Words can’t really express our gratitude. My family and I will always be grateful for the compassion that they showed us. I want to thank you for what you did for my family, and for always being there for us.
Margaret’s representation, guidance, and professionalism gave us the sense that we could put our trust in Levin & Perconti and the final outcome proved that to be true.
