Upland, California, Attorney for Elder Abuse Victims
Although we may wish to believe it cannot happen to us or people we know well, elder abuse is all too common in our society. If you are a senior citizen suffering from abuse or neglect — or you have good reason to suspect an elderly family member or acquaintance is being abused and you want to take action — please contact us at The Annigian Law Offices.
Like other types of domestic violence, a major part of the challenge in stopping elder abuse is that the abuser is typically someone the victim cares about and depends on. A senior citizen may feel he or she has no choice but to put up with what a family member or caregiver is doing. Attorney Gregory T. Annigian is committed to taking strong legal action that can end a brutal cycle of abuse and help prevent tragic outcomes.
Physical or Emotional Abuse — Neglect — Financial Abuse
Elder abuse may include physical violence, but it can also take many other forms. All of the following acts are illegal and should be reported to California Adult Protective Services or the police:
- Neglect, including depriving an elderly person of nutritional food, basic care or essential items
- Emotional abuse, including threats of physical violence or deprivation
- Financial abuse, through acts such as theft, extortion or coerced changes to the victim's will or trust
You do not have to act alone to stop elder abuse or nursing home negligence. Our attorneys and staff know what to do to make sure the problem is thoroughly investigated and the victims' rights are protected. Our complementary strengths in family law and estate litigation are excellent assets in confronting the various types of elder abuse.
