Land v. Whitley, et al.

Elizabeth Todd has practiced law since graduating from Wake Forest Law School in 1996. She has practiced all over the state of North Carolina representing families in domestic court, corporations in bankruptcy course, defendants in criminal court, and, finally, families against insurance companies and nursing home chains. She was representing clients in court before she even got out of law school – having the opportunity to work for Legal Services of North Carolina representing the poor in Charlotte during her summers in law school.

Since 2000, Elizabeth has devoted her practice to representing victims of nursing home abuse and neglect against insurance companies and nursing home and assisted living chains. At a time when most lawyers rejected these cases as not worth pursuing, Elizabeth recognized the need to protect the frail elderly in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

Jennifer “Jenny” Maynard is a personal injury who focuses her practice on helping those injured in motor vehicle collisions and on the premises of negligently kept property. Jenny grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina before attending the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she double-majored in American History and Political Science, and minored in Spanish.
