We're seeing more and more instances of abuse. The question is, is it increasing? It is indeed, in all aspects. It's abhorrent.
Normally, we refer issues of physical violence to the police. We're not an investigative agency. We're lawyers. The types of claims we typically prosecute are civil claims of financial abuse. They can be accompanied by physical, sexual and emotional abuse, because all forms of abuse overlap. We have provided criminal representation to victims and witnesses, as well as to older adults who are charged with crimes.
