Our nation’s elders deserve to be treated with dignity, care and respect. Unfortunately, all too often, seniors become victims of abuse and neglect.

Caring Representation for Victims of Abuse and Their Families
We understand how difficult and frustrating it can be to face the reality that your loved one was mistreated. We will work hard to ensure that justice is done.
How Does Elder Abuse Happen?
Elder abuse is on the rise in nursing homes, senior living facilities and other care institutions across the country. Although anyone can be a perpetrator, such abuse often occurs at the hands of caretakers who are charged with the elder’s well-being. Overcrowded and understaffed facilities, as well as inadequate training, can lead to unfortunate incidents of physical abuse.
Neglect is another form of abuse that can be just as harmful as physical abuse. It often leads to falls, bedsores and other complications that can worsen the victim’s already fragile medical state. Even a single fall due to neglect is inexcusable; any fall can have a drastic impact on your loved one’s long-term health and quality of life.
