Fighting Nursing Home
Abuse & Neglect
Nursing HomeAbuse and Neglect
Serving Phoenix, Scottsdale and all of Arizona
No one wants to have a loved one in a nursing home or other assisted living
facility. Although federal and state laws require that nursing homes maintain
the highest standards of safety, we know that many nursing homes can be
dangerous places. Nursing homes have a responsibility to their residents
to make sure they are safe from mental and physical harm, are well-nourished
and hydrated, and that their medical requirements are met daily. Unfortunately,
all too often, nursing homes put profits over people. In fact, over half
of all nursing home residents report having either suffered from or witnessed,
some form of nursing home neglect or abuse.
Cullan & Cullan includes several doctors who are also lawyers. We are
lawyers with a sophisticated understanding of medicine and law. Our firm
includes Gene Cullan J.D., Ph.D., Sam Cullan M.D., J.D., Pat Cullan M.D.,
J.D., Joe Cullan, M.D., J.D., and Virginia Cullan.

Our Mission
Doctors Practicing Law & Helping Your Family
Dr. Dan Cullan founded Cullan & Cullan. He was the first doctor/lawyer in the Cullan Family (followed by Sam, Gene, Joe, and Pat).
Our family is dedicated to fighting for victims of nursing home abuse and neglect. One in 10 nursing homes has been cited for neglect. Our parents and grandparents built this country and deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Nursing homes promise to keep them safe, but those promises are all too often broken leading to devastating injuries and death. We must fight for those who can’t fight for themselves.
