I'm desperately in need of attorney dealing in malpractice, negligence, and/ or elderly issues, and came across one who seems to be good, but those three words are listed right under the law firms name. What does it mean?
And in seeking the help I describe, which involves a very elderly person, hospitalized and where negligence and/ or malpractice is suspected, and other greater issues are taking place at this very moment, such as hospital trying to circumvent family and own patient's wishes regarding end of life issue, is it advisable to seek this kind of attorney?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

It has nothing to do with how they practice, or what kind of lawyers they are. It's just the kind of entity their business is. For example, any given business can be a corporation, a limited liability company, a partnership, a sole proprietorship, etc. A limited liability partnership is a type of business in which there is a partnership, but the liability of the individuals is limited, just as it would be if they were a corporation. This means you can sue the business if you're harmed, but not necessarily the partners as individuals. Bottom line, don't worry about it.

I believe it means that the partnership agreement is such that the liability of one partner cannot be incurred by the others. For example if lawyer A within this firm is sued for malpractice, then the other lawyers in the firms are not liable and cannot be made to pay.
