Litigator David Cohen first got involved in nursing home litigation in 1998, when he was practicing at Stark & Stark in New Jersey. At the time, he said, “attorneys were turning these cases down, thinking if a person was old and frail, these cases weren't financially worth doing.”

Now, 20 years later, Cohen has taken the solo practice he founded last year and affiliated with Philadelphia litigation firm Sacks Weston Diamond.

Cohen and Sacks Weston partner Scott Diamond spoke with The Legal Intelligencer about nursing home litigation and Cohen's take on “analytics” in the age of electronic medical records and artificial intelligence in the law. Cohen admits his methods are time-consuming, but he contends they pay off.
