Conservatorships

We specialize in establishing conservatorships to ensure that elderly individuals who are no longer able to manage their own affairs receive the care and protection they need. A conservatorship allows a court-appointed individual or organization to take responsibility for the personal and financial well-being of a senior who is incapacitated due to dementia, physical disability, or other impairments. Our experienced attorneys guide families through the entire conservatorship process, from filing the initial petition to representing you in court hearings. We work diligently to ensure that all legal requirements are met and that the best interests of your loved one are prioritized, providing peace of mind and security for families during challenging times.

Financial Elder Abuse

We are committed to protecting seniors from financial elder abuse, a growing concern that involves the exploitation of elderly individuals for monetary gain. This abuse can manifest in various forms, such as unauthorized withdrawals from bank accounts, fraudulent changes to wills or trusts, and coercion to transfer property. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to investigating and addressing instances of financial elder abuse, providing aggressive legal representation to hold perpetrators accountable. We work tirelessly to recover stolen assets and secure compensation for victims, ensuring that the financial well-being and dignity of our senior clients are preserved. With our comprehensive legal support, you can trust that we will safeguard your loved ones from exploitation and bring justice to those who have been wronged.
