Alder recognized for work in mental hospital abuse and negelct lawsuit

"After spending a good portion of my career representing big companies, I know how they think. They hire excellent lawyers and pay them big money to make sure they win, regardless of whether they are in the right. I am proud to now represent individuals who have been wronged or injured in some way, and stand up to the big companies and insurers on their behalf. Everyone deserves a fair chance in our justice system, and we are here to make sure that plaintiffs get the superior legal representation they deserve."
