Representing the Powerless Against the Powerful

We provide experienced representation and work to obtain relief for families who have learned their loved one has been a victim of elder abuse. Through our experience and perseverance, we have recovered compensation on behalf of the injured client and their family; we have also affected the operations and policies of nursing homes, retirement communities, and health care systems. Our elder abuse and neglect practice encompasses:

  • Physical abuse: Elderly patrons are often subjected to environments in which the care attendants surrounding them do not like their job, and are poorly trained and compensated. As a result nursing home residents and other elderly people sustain physical and emotional injuries caused by physical and verbal abuse.

  • Neglect: Lack of funding and lack of space has caused many assisted living facilities, retirement communities and nursing homes to be overcrowded and understaffed. In addition, the staff is frequently lacks training due to high turnover. These factors lead to elder neglect, resulting in nursing home falls, bed sores, malnutrition, dehydration, and other nursing home injuries.

  • Financial abuse: Whether in a nursing home or their own home, the elderly often rely on a caregiver and other household help, who gain their trust. This trust can then be taken advantage of by unscrupulous persons, resulting in outright theft, undue influence, and other financial abuse. In addition, retirement scams, investment scams, and other unscrupulous practices can deplete of the elder individual's finances.

We investigate elder abuse, elder neglect, and elder financial fraud cases. We aggressively represent victims and their families and hold wrongdoers accountable.
