Trial Attorney William Eadie

I am a trial lawyer who helps families hurt by caregiver carelessness–such as nursing homes and hospitals–and hold the wrongdoers accountable.  Some people–even some trial lawyers–think people in nursing homes don’t matter, and their lives are not worth much.  I know better.  When a nursing home breaks its promise to provide good care to someone’s mother, father, sister, or brother, and refuses to take responsibility, I’m proud to help the family hold them accountable.

My greatest joy in this work is not just getting answers and results for those families, but helping them make sure it does not happen to someone else next time.

I understand how the business of medicine can harm people, when corporations put their own profits ahead of providing quality care.  Along with my law degree, I earned a business degree (MBA) from the Weatherhead School at Case.

Besides obtaining multi-million dollar nursing home verdicts, I can help defend those results if there is an appeal.  I’ve argued cases before the Eighth and Ninth Ohio Appellate District Courts, as well as the Ohio Supreme Court.

I am an Ohio native raising three daughters with my wife, Christine, in the Gordon Square neighborhood.  I volunteer in Cleveland Public Schools, working with high-schoolers to learn about our Rights, Responsibilities, and Realities under the U.S. Constitution as part of the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association’s 3Rs program.  I also serve on the CMBA’s 3Rs steering committee.

Trial Attorney Mark Tassone

I am a trial lawyer whose practice has focused on representing plaintiffs and their families in nursing home neglect, abuse, and wrongful death cases. Having had a loved one abused in a nursing home, I understand the pain, frustration, sadness, powerlessness, and guilt felt by the families of nursing home abuse and neglect victims. As a trial lawyer with Eadie Hill Trial Lawyers, my practice will be focused on rewriting the narrative: converting pain to comfort, frustration to relief, sadness to closure, powerlessness into holding others accountable, and guilt into validation.

Originally from Virginia, I attended Hampden-Sydney College, where I earned a B.A. in Latin and Greek and Classical Studies. I also hold an M.A. from Florida State University in Latin. After a successful career in education, I attended the University of Cincinnati College of Law in Cincinnati, Ohio. I now reside in Cincinnati with my wife, Sara, son, Roman, daughter, Iris, and dog, Beau.

I strongly believe in community and professional engagement. I am an active member of the Rotary Club of Cincinnati. I am also an active member of the American Association for Justice, the Ohio Association for Justice, the Ohio State Bar Association, the Cincinnati Bar Association, and the Potter Stewart Inn of Court.

In my spare time, I enjoy music, reading, outdoor activities, and travel. In 2014, I hiked the Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile pilgrimage route across southern France and northern Spain.

Trial Attorney K. Joshua Waters

I am a trial attorney with Eadie Hill. My passion has always been to help those in need, and I take great pride in being able to help my clients obtain justice when they or a loved one has been injured due to the acts or inaction of a nursing home and its employees. As I know firsthand, it truly hits differently when you see what happens to a loved one who is neglected and not adequately cared for by a nursing home. I strive to bring that same passion and demand for justice when helping our clients.

I was born in East Tennessee but quickly made Cincinnati my home when I moved to Butler County, Ohio while in high school. I currently reside just south of Cincinnati, in Northern Kentucky, with my incredible family. Two things most people quickly find out about me is that I love the area where I have lived for nearly two decades and I am passionate about the University of Tennessee.  

Prior to attending the University of Dayton School of Law to pursue my dream of becoming an attorney, I had a career in banking and as a financial advisor. I graduated law school in 2013 and, until joining the firm, I primarily represented doctors and large insurance companies, including their insureds. I am admitted to practice in all state courts in Ohio and Kentucky. Finally, I am a member of the Kentucky Bar Association; the Cincinnati Bar Association; the American Association for Justice; the Ohio Association for Justice; and the Southwest Ohio Trial Lawyers Association. 

Trial Attorney Madeleine Skora

I graduated magna cum laude from Salmon P. Chase College of Law in May 2022. During law school, I worked for a small personal injury firm where I was fortunate enough to gain experience in many areas of civil litigation. I have found it to be incredibly gratifying to work for and with clients suffering through the loss of a loved one to nursing home neglect. These clients are often navigating their grief as well as their inexperience with the litigation process, which can be very difficult. My hope is to guide these clients efficiently and effectively to their remedy by holding nursing homes accountable for their systemic failures. In doing so, my goal is to contribute to the implementation of higher standards and expectations for these institutions caring for vulnerable individuals in need of compassion.

I am thrilled to work for Eadie Hill and alongside other kind, caring, driven individuals with similar objectives. The task we have taken on is not an easy one; but, David conquered Goliath and we too shall persevere with communication, empathy, and personal accountability.

I currently live in Villa Hills, Kentucky, about ten minutes south of the Ohio River. Outside of work, I enjoy sitting by the pool, spending time with friends and family, pleasure reading, and taking care of my cats, Poppy and Belle. I am also a plant mom and love to work in the garden and tend to my indoor plants. I am a very high-energy individual and I love to learn; so, I often pick up small hobbies here and there for a short period of time until I move on to the next thing. At the moment, I am really enjoying painting despite the fact that my skills are very limited.

Trial Attorney Matt Mooney

I am a trial lawyer with a background of representing patients who have been harmed by medical neglect, and the loved ones of patients who passed away as the result of healthcare providers’ negligence. With Eadie Hill Trial Lawyers, I apply my skills to hold nursing homes and assisted living facilities accountable when they cause harm to their residents through neglect and abuse. I seek to challenge the eldercare industry’s practice of putting profits over people, by showing that providing poor quality care at the cost of residents’ health and safety doesn’t pay.

I was born in Odessa, Texas but grew up in the small town of Medina, Ohio. My parents were healthcare workers, and pushed me to consider a career in healthcare. While I was pursuing my undergraduate degree at the University of Akron, and throughout much of my J.D. studies at the C. Blake McDowell School of Law at the University of Akron, I worked as a nurses’ aide in the Intensive Care Unit of a local hospital. There, I witnessed many patients coming from nursing homes and assisted living facilities in terrible health. We could often tell which facilities patients came from based on their condition – certain facilities gained a reputation for sending us residents covered in bedsores, profoundly malnourished or dehydrated. This experience made me acutely aware of the crisis of compassion in our nursing homes, and the importance of accountability where providers cause profound harm.

Currently I live in the Tremont neighborhood of Cleveland with my fiancée, Samantha. We often visit my parents, sister, and young nieces in Batavia, Ohio, just outside of Cincinnati. In my free time, I keep up on current events and politics and like to read about political movements in American history. I enjoy taking hikes in the area metro parks with my dog, Chili (chow-chow) or sailing on lake Erie. I also volunteer with local organizations that distribute food and other essentials to those in need.
