Practice area: Elder abuse

CP&M is one of the foremost law firms in the nation in representing senior citizens who have fallen victim to physical or financial abuse. Elder abuse is a serious and growing problem, especially with the baby boom generation entering retirement. In recognition of this problem, all 50 states have some form of law providing extra protections against elder abuse. CP&M has successfully brought dozens of lawsuits under these elder abuse statutes, most commonly lawsuits on behalf of seniors who have been seriously injured in nursing homes, and seniors who have been defrauded into purchasing unsuitable financial products.

CP&M receives several inquiries each week from family members concerned with the devastating problem of elder abuse and nursing home abuse. CP&M has ongoing cases and investigations into the physical and financial abuse of senior citizens. The firm has successfully prosecuted many elder abuse cases, including actions arising out of deaths of three elderly people who went without care when temperatures reached 100-plus degrees in their nursing home. If you have relatives who have been victimized by such practices, you may contact us at TAKE ACTION to explore their legal rights.
