Legal Representation for Victims of Elder Abuse and Exploitation
Our senior citizens deserve protection and respect in their vulnerable years. At Howard, Fine & Howard, we represent New Hampshire elderly residents and their families who have suffered from physical abuse, emotional mistreatment, financial exploitation, neglect, or abandonment by caregivers, family members, or institutions. Our elder abuse attorneys have the specialized knowledge needed to investigate these sensitive cases, document violations, and hold perpetrators accountable. If you suspect an elderly loved one has experienced abuse or exploitation, contact our compassionate team to discuss your concerns.
Why Elder Abuse Cases Require Specialized Legal Knowledge
Elder abuse cases present unique challenges that demand attorneys with specific expertise in elder law, financial crimes, and senior protection statutes. These sensitive cases require lawyers who understand:
- New Hampshire's specific elder abuse statutes and protections
- The various forms of elder abuse: physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and neglect
- How to document injuries or financial losses that may be concealed or attributed to age
- Methods for interviewing elderly victims with memory or communication challenges
- Access to medical experts, financial forensic specialists, and elder care professionals
- How to trace financial exploitation through complex transactions
- Strategies to overcome perpetrators' claims of gift-giving or consent
- The intersection of elder abuse with powers of attorney, guardianships, and estate matters
- The emotional support needed when working with elderly victims and their families
- How to calculate appropriate damages for elderly victims with limited life expectancy
Without specialized representation, elder abuse often goes unaddressed or uncompensated. Our attorneys can evaluate your concerns and determine the appropriate legal response.

What constitutes elder abuse and what are the common signs to look for?
Elder abuse encompasses physical, emotional, sexual, or financial mistreatment of older adults, as well as neglect and abandonment. Common signs include unexplained injuries, withdrawal from normal activities, unusual financial transactions, poor hygiene, and changes in personality or behavior. Recognizing these indicators early can help protect vulnerable seniors from ongoing harm.
What legal options are available for victims of elder abuse?
Victims of elder abuse have several legal avenues available, including protective orders, civil lawsuits against perpetrators, guardianship proceedings, and criminal prosecution. An elder law attorney can help determine the most appropriate legal strategy based on the specific circumstances, severity of abuse, and the victim's wishes and capacity to participate in legal proceedings.
How can family members report suspected elder abuse?
If you suspect elder abuse, you can report it to Adult Protective Services in your state, local law enforcement, or the Long-Term Care Ombudsman if the abuse occurs in a facility. Documentation of suspicious behavior or injuries is helpful. Many states have mandatory reporting laws for certain professionals, but anyone can and should report suspected abuse to protect vulnerable seniors.
What are the differences between institutional elder abuse and abuse by family caregivers?
Institutional abuse occurs in facilities like nursing homes or assisted living centers and may involve staff members or other residents. Family caregiver abuse happens in private homes by relatives or trusted individuals. While the settings differ, both types can involve similar forms of mistreatment. Different legal approaches may apply depending on whether the abuse occurs in an institutional or home setting.
How can seniors protect themselves from financial exploitation?
Seniors can protect themselves from financial exploitation by maintaining social connections, being cautious about signing documents, setting up direct deposits, consulting with financial advisors or attorneys before making major decisions, monitoring accounts regularly, and creating proper estate planning documents like powers of attorney with trustworthy individuals. Early legal planning can establish safeguards before vulnerability increases with age.
