Elder Abuse and Fraud

Older adults are disproportionately targeted by financial fraud and abuse. We help families identify warning signs, understand their legal options, and take appropriate action to protect vulnerable loved ones.

Veterans Benefits

Veterans and their families may be entitled to benefits that can significantly offset the cost of care. We help clients understand what they qualify for and navigate the application process to make sure they receive everything they are entitled to.

Working With an Elder Law Attorney

As a caregiver you may find yourself navigating challenging issues around healthcare, financing, and housing for an aging parent, loved one, or spouse. An elder law attorney provides counsel for the unique requirements of older clients and their families, advocating for seniors' rights and helping navigate laws, assistance programs, and available benefits. We work with clients to understand their full situation before making any recommendations, and we stay with them throughout the process.
