Elder Law Issues We Handle in Castro Valley
Our Castro Valley law office offers a comprehensive suite of elder law services tailored to the unique needs of local seniors and their families. Our practice areas include:
Elder Abuse
Sadly, seniors are often targeted for exploitation and mistreatment. When you suspect abuse, decisive action is critical. Our team knows how to investigate and document wrongdoing, pursue legal remedies, and connect victims with essential support services. We’re committed to holding abusers accountable and restoring our clients’ safety and dignity.
Conservatorship
When age or illness impairs a loved one’s ability to make sound decisions, a conservatorship can provide vital protection. We guide families through this sensitive legal process with compassion and care, helping to craft arrangements that prioritize the senior’s best interests while preserving autonomy where possible.
