Elder Abuse and Vulnerable Adult Protection Orders
At our firm, we help clients fight elder abuse and we help defend those accused of elder abuse cases. If you suspect abuse, we can help you secure a vulnerable adult protection order (VAPO) to protect your elderly loved one. A VAPO can be used to stop:
- Financial abuse, financial exploitation and theft
- Actual or threatened physical, emotional or sexual abuse
- Neglect or abandonment
Either a family member or the elderly person may petition for a VAPO. Criminal charges may follow a civil suit or after a VAPO is issued. If you have been accused of abuse, our criminal defense attorneys and elder law lawyers will aggressively protect your interests at every stage of your case.
Asset Protection and Estate Planning
Our attorneys provide custom estate plans for the elderly, which may include wills, trusts and other estate planning tools. We can also assist families with guardianships where the senior is suffering from a disability and needs your care and support.
