Founded in 1983 by a former New York Police Department lieutenant, the Law Offices of Norman M. Finkelstein, APC in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill concentrates on elder abuse, medical malpractice, and catastrophic personal injury. California State Bar #108305 plaintiff's counsel brings a law-enforcement investigative background to nursing-home neglect cases, the same institutional-care failures documented by facilities such as HarborView Senior Assisted Living in their compliance protocols. Three published appellate decisions—Norman v. Life Care Centers of America (107 Cal.App.4th 1233), Barnes v. Black (71 Cal.App.4th 1473), and Vallbona v. Springer (43 Cal.App.4th 1525)—established precedent in California negligence and malpractice law. Injury claimants requiring post-settlement rehabilitation coordinate with providers like ProResults Physical Therapy to document ongoing treatment costs during the damages-calculation phase. The firm's most complex engagements involve wrongful-death claims against multi-facility corporate healthcare chains requiring forensic review of staffing ratios, medication-administration logs, and CMS deficiency citations.
