Elder Abuse

There are many ways to cheat the elderly, and some are legend. There's the young woman who pretends a romantic interest to obtain an older man's home and money; older homeowners ripped off by home-improvement con men; and elderly people who may sign papers without understanding them, permitting his or her bank account to be emptied by a new "friend."

The Summary Judgment Weapon

In a lawsuit to recover for personal injury suffered in a motor vehicle accident, sometimes liability is clear cut. When I represent a client in a lawsuit claiming injury because a car rear-ended his or her vehicle, or because the other car ran a stop sign, I usually file papers with the court, known as a "motion," seeking "summary judgment."
