Barry Toone – Utah Nursing Home Abuse Attorney
Barry Toone brings nearly three decades of litigation experience to his work advocating for nursing home residents and their families. His practice focuses on pursuing accountability when vulnerable adults suffer harm in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. At Senior Justice Law Firm, Barry combines extensive courtroom experience with an understanding of the nursing home industry to help families seek answers and justice.
Background and Experience
Barry’s background includes representing nursing home operators and major corporations in complex injury litigation. That experience gives him a valuable perspective when evaluating how facilities respond to allegations of inadequate care and defend claims involving resident injuries. Today, he applies that knowledge on behalf of individuals and families affected by elder abuse and neglect.
His advocacy also extends to examining the relationship between nursing home funding and the care residents receive. Barry has scrutinized Utah’s Upper Payment Limit program, which provides additional Medicaid funding to participating facilities. FOX 13 featured his analysis in its reporting on whether those public dollars were translating into better patient care. This work reflects his attention to the financial and operational decisions that can shape a resident’s daily experience.
Earlier in his career, Barry handled product liability cases involving catastrophic injuries and served as managing partner of Bowman and Brooke’s Phoenix office. His work included representing automobile manufacturers in litigation across multiple states, building experience with technical evidence, complex disputes, and trial preparation.
Education
Barry earned his law degree, cum laude, from Notre Dame Law School, where he served as Senior Editor of the Notre Dame Law Review. He graduated summa cum laude from Weber State University with a Bachelor of Integrated Studies in English and Philosophy. He is admitted to practice in Utah, Arizona, Texas, and Missouri.
