Carpenter & Zuckerman, LLP is a Los Angeles law firm that fights elder abuse.

People commit elder abuse when they neglect, exploit, or physically or mentally abuse the elderly. Individuals particularly vulnerable include those who are frail and depend on the services or kindness of others to meet their most basic fundamental needs.

Overwhelmingly, elder abuse is perpetrated by spouses or grown children of the victim. Acts that constitute elder abuse include financial exploitation, the denial of food or health services, infliction of physical pain, sexual abuse, or the infliction of mental anguish in the form of threats, intimidation, or humiliation.
