San Diego Senior Abuse Law Firm: Protecting Our Elders

Serving Los Angeles & Southern California in Elder Abuse Cases

At the law firm of Joel R. Bryant, our elder litigation team handles a wide variety of abuse issues pertaining to our most vulnerable citizens. Whether in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, elder daycare centers, or being cared for by at-home caretakers, the elderly are at risk of being abused and taken advantage of in various ways. These types of abuse can be due to neglect, carelessness, or malicious intent on the part of those whose role is to care for and protect them. Whatever the circumstances, the elderly and their families deserve justice when mistreatment, injury, wrongful death, financial exploitation, or other types of fraud are used against them by those in a position of trust or authority.

At Joel R. Bryant, we bring more than 30 years of experience to standing up for the rights and best interests of elders in all types of abuse and negligence matters. Our elder litigation team handles cases in both civil and probate courts. Due to our longstanding years in practice handling diverse elder abuse issues, our team is comfortable addressing them in both courts, unlike many of our competitors. We know how to attack cases from all angles in righting the wrongs suffered by the elderly who often cannot adequately speak for themselves, suffer from fear or retaliation if communicating the harm they have endured, and whose bodies and minds are often frail and compromised, making it a hardship for them to defend themselves. 

Local Resources for Protecting Seniors in San Diego

Living in San Diego, we understand the unique challenges our senior community faces. With a significant elderly population, it's crucial to be aware of the resources available to protect our loved ones from abuse. The San Diego County Adult Protective Services (APS) is a vital resource for reporting and addressing elder abuse. They work diligently to investigate reports and provide necessary interventions to ensure the safety and well-being of our seniors.

In addition to APS, the San Diego Police Department's Elder Abuse Unit is another critical entity dedicated to protecting our elderly residents. They collaborate with various local agencies to investigate and prosecute cases of elder abuse, ensuring that justice is served.

One of the most pressing issues in San Diego is the prevalence of financial exploitation among seniors. With many retirees choosing to settle in our beautiful city, they often become targets for financial scams and fraud. At Joel R. Bryant, we are acutely aware of these local pain points and are committed to fighting for the rights of our elderly clients. Our deep understanding of the local landscape allows us to navigate these cases effectively, ensuring that our clients receive the justice they deserve.

We also recognize the emotional and physical toll that elder abuse can take on families. San Diego's close-knit communities mean that when one of our seniors is harmed, it affects us all. Our team is here to provide compassionate support and legal guidance, helping families through these difficult times. Whether you're in La Jolla, Chula Vista, or anywhere in between, you can trust us to stand by your side and advocate for your loved ones.
