State laws vary, but increasingly, state attorneys general offices and law enforcement have stepped up prosecution efforts. Nationally, The Elder Justice Coalition is working to help pass an act that would provide federal leadership to reduce elder abuse. In addition, Title VII of the Older Americans Act, enacted in 1992, helps fund prevention of elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. If you or a loved one has suffered elder abuse, please call or email our experienced elder abuse lawyers today. We’ll evaluate your claim for free and help you get the justice you deserve.
