The types of senior crimes most dealt with are elder abuse, financial abuse, and neglect. With the economy being as bad as it is, kids are moving in with their parents, and sometimes that causes further problems. Physical abuse against elders is also on the rise.
There has also been a rise in what are known as gypsy scams, or those in which a stranger targets a senior at their home, either by phone or in person, and somehow convinces them to give them money. They often convince the senior to let them inside and steal once they gain entry, posing as utility workers or handymen to try to gain their trust.
Any elder who feels they may have been the victim of fraud or abuse can call Steven Peck's Premier Legal toll free at 1-866-999-9085 to talk to an experienced elder law attorney.
