A: You do not need a lawyer in order to report suspected elder abuse. For Alameda County, see the webpage at: https://www.alamedasocialservices.org/public/services/elders_and_disabled_adults/protective_services.cfm or else just call 510-577-3500

A: You can report identity theft, elder abuse, and forgery to the police. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney such as myself. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website, www.AliEsq.com. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, WA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.
