Dudensing Law Founder Ed Dudensing led a presentation titled "Financials 101 for Elder Abuse Lawyers" for a California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR) webinar, equipping plaintiff-side elder abuse attorneys with the tools to read nursing home financial records as litigation evidence.

The session discussed key financial paperwork and how each document type can reveal deliberate cost-cutting decisions, profit-shifting to affiliated companies, and the financial control structures that connect parent companies to individual facilities.

“How would you describe Dudensing Law’s approach to handling your case?”

Former client Ralph V. says it best: even across three time zones, the Dudensing Law team made sure every member of his family felt informed, supported, and never alone in the process.

That is the standard we hold ourselves to for every family we represent.

The nursing home tha

The nursing home that neglected your loved one probably doesn't own itself.

In his Rutter Group treatise on elder abuse litigation, founder Ed Dudensing writes extensively about the corporate structures behind California's long-term care facilities.

A typical defendant isn't a single entity; it's generally a licensed operator owned by a management company, owned by a holding company, owned by a private equity fund, with the actual assets held somewhere entirely separate.

Founder Ed Dudensing

Founder Ed Dudensing was recently interviewed by Law.com's The Recorder in recognition of his selection as a finalist for the 2026 California Legal Awards “Attorney of the Year”.

The piece dives into what drives Ed's work, passions, and what he sees as a defining threat to elder care today.

As Ed told Law.com, "Now, with big finance becoming more and more involved, there's just such a fundamental misalignment, because big finance reports to investors. They don't even pretend to be caring about the residents of these end-use facilities. It's a real estate play, and so it's very frightening."
