Protecting the Legal Rights of Older Adults and Their Families
Every elderly individual deserves to live free from harm, abuse, and exploitation. Unfortunately, many dependent adults are unable to speak up due to fear, medical conditions, or cognitive decline. Greenberg Gross LLP empowers victims and families with the legal advocacy they need to hold abusers accountable.
We are able to assist clients with the following types of elder abuse:
- Physical abuse, including hitting, pushing, or causing injury
- Sexual abuse, including non-consensual contact or harassment
- Financial elder abuse, involving theft, fraud, or manipulation
- Neglect, where caregivers fail to provide necessary medical care or supervision
- Emotional abuse, including threats, humiliation, or isolation
Our lawyers ensure that your legal rights are protected at every stage and that responsible parties are pursued through civil court, administrative hearings, or criminal referrals to the district attorney’s office where appropriate.
When to Report Elder Abuse
Elder abuse often goes unreported. If you suspect a loved one is being mistreated—whether it’s a parent in an assisted living facility or a neighbor living alone—it’s important to speak up. Warning signs may include:
- Bruises or unexplained injuries
- Fear or withdrawal in the presence of staff members or caregivers
- Poor hygiene, lack of food, or medical neglect
- Sudden financial problems or suspicious transactions
- Emotional distress or behavioral changes
You can report abuse to adult protective services, other agencies like the California Department of Social Services, or law enforcement.
