One of Carmine's focus areas is defending residents and responsible parties against nursing homes that commence collection actions. In the fall of 2010, Carmine argued before the Connecticut Supreme Court in Wilton Meadows Limited Partnership vs. Sally Coratolo, 299 Conn. 819, 14 A.3d 982 (2011); Carmine successfully defended Mrs. Coratolo against Wilton Meadows’ proposed collection tactic under Connecticut General Statute §46b-37(b).
