Elder Abuse

Our firm is committed to protecting the rights of our elderly. As the people who raised and nurtured us enter their later years, they are often among the most defenseless, virtually unable to protect themselves from being abused, neglected and exploited by others.

Elder abuse and neglect is unforgivable, whether at the hands of a stranger, a family member, a friend or, as is most commonly the case, at the hands of a caretaker in a Nursing Home or Assisted Living Facility.

For the sake of your elderly loved ones, be on the lookout for one or more of the following and call our Firm is you even suspect any of the following:

  • Neglect or failure of a caretaker to provide goods or services essential to avoid physical harm, mental anguish or mental illness. This may come in the form of denying food, health or hygiene services or abandonment.
  • Physical abuse or causing or permitting physical pain or injury.
  • Emotional or mental anguish, such as engaging the elderly in ways that humiliate, intimidate or threaten the elder person.
  • Financial or material exploitation, such as someone using the resources of an older person, without his/her consent. This is often under the guise of supposedly "helping" or "protecting" the elderly person from others or himself/herself.
  • Sexual abuse or harassment, such as non-consensual sexual contact, behavior, suggestions or comments of any kind.

    • If you are a concerned relative or friend of an elderly person you believe is suffering from abuse in the Northeast Florida area, including Jacksonville, Orange Park, St. Augustine, Fernandina Beach or in the areas around Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, and Clay counties, we'd like to hear from you.
