Elder abuse/neglect is a growing problem. Our office is committed to protecting the elderly from physical, emotional and financial abuse. Our primary focus is protecting residents of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities. Far too frequently we hear of residents who are injured because of neglect or substandard care. Such poor care is nearly always associated with under-staffing and lack of training and supervision. While most caregivers at these facilities are hardworking and caring, the owners and/or administrators simply refuse to pay for sufficient staff to accommodate the needs of their residents. Our office takes elder abuse cases very seriously and will fight aggressively to obtain compensation for and protection of
abused elders. Claims of elder abuse must be thoroughly investigated before
filing of any lawsuit. To learn more about elder abuse or for a free confidential consultation, please contact our office.

Estate Planning
We have been providing estate planning services in the northstate since
1993. Failure to have an appropriate estate plan can have detrimental
consequences, financially and emotionally. Our office strives to make the
estate planning process enjoyable and comfortable. The decision to use a
trust, will, joint tenancy, power of attorney, gifting, or any estate
planning technique (or any combination thereof), is a decision which must
take into account all of the circumstances confronting a person or family.
No two situations are identical and, therefore, an estate plan must
accommodate such individual circumstances. Estate planning is a very
personal process and requires an intimate discussion regarding a client’s
circumstances and desires. Our office provides a 30-minute free
consultation.
