Elder Law

Elder Law

Every person, no matter how young or old, deserves to be safe from harm by those who live with them, care for them, or come in day-to-day contact with them. Older people today are more accessible and more independent than ever before. They are also preyed upon by those in a position of trust or dominance at an alarmingly high rate. As this population continues to grow, so does the hidden problems of elder abuse, financial exploitation, and neglect.

The first step to stopping abuse is identifying abuse. Learn the signs of elder abuse and neglect, become familiar with local and state agencies designed to help, or simply call or visit a loved one and ask how they are doing. Elder abuse can be subtle as patterns tend to develop over time. If something does not feel right or seems suspicious, please contact us right away. We are here to provide support and advocacy when a loved one is taken advantage of or abused.

  • Mr. Costa recently helped my grandmother with preparation of her Will, Power of Attorney, and Healthcare Proxy. She is 91 years old with less than optimal vision and hearing. Mr. Costa showed great patience with her and took all the necessary time to explain in detail the importance and meaning of these documents. We left his office feeling more than satisfied and I can't really express how at ease he made her feel. Overall an A++ experience at this firm and I will not hesitate to use again if the need arises.
