About Bernard

Learn Bernard’s areas of practice.

4
Practice areas
  1. Medical malpractice
    25%
    Any medical practitioner, whether they are a physician, surgeon, obstetrician, oncologist, nurse, anesthesiologist or other professional, is expected to administer treatment according to an accepted standard of care. When they breach that duty to their patient and provide treatment that is substandard, the results can be devastating and can lead to permanent injury, loss of life, and other severe consequences.

  2. Nursing home abuse and neglect
    25%
    Cases of abuse or neglect are far too common and the elderly resident can suffer very serious consequences, both mentally and physically.

  3. Personal injury
    25%
    Many types of serious injuries result from the dangerous, reckless, or illegal behavior of another party. A serious injury can mean months of treatment and care, surgeries, and rehabilitation with no possibility of being able to work and earn a living.

  4. Social Security & Disability
    25%
    If a person suffers from medical or psychological problems, he or she has the right to seek SSDI/SSI benefits. The Social Security Administration makes it very difficult and denies more than half the claims filed. Many people file a claim and are anxiously waiting for their benefits only to get a denial letter.

Have you been injured due to a car collision, dog bite or negligence? You need an experienced and caring attorney who will seek the compensation you deserve. Contact Attorney Bernard E. Layne, III for assistance with your case immediately.

Mani Ellis & Layne, if you haven't hired this law firm yet, you're doing it wrong.
After my auto accident I had broken bones torn ligaments and other injuries. I had to manage doctor's appointments, physical therapy and surgical consult visits constantly. The one thing I didn't have to worry about was my legal case. Mani Ellis & Layne took care of all of it and kept me up to date constantly. I never felt at any time that their top priority was anything other than what was best for me and my family. Kim is who we worked with the majority of the time and I cannot find enough kind words to say about her. She is truly a fantastic person! Mani Ellis & Layne has not only earned a lifetime client, they have earned my trust.

Attorney Bernard Layne III handled what quickly evolved into a complex medical malpractice case for me. His professionalism, competence and communication were top notch throughout my experience. He really made me feel like he understood and was with me fully in seeking legal resolution for my injuries. He was very thorough and attentive in building a case that would have withstood the rigors of a trial. I never felt dismissed or like I was "just another case number" with him or his Paralegal Kim. We were able to settle my case early and to my satisfaction. I would certainly work with this attorney again, should I ever have a need that fell within his areas of legal expertise.
