If you have been charged with elder abuse, it is imperative that you contact an attorney if you are going to successfully raise a defense.
Depending on the facts of your case, a criminal defense attorney may be able to get your charges lowered or even get your case dismissed. You won’t know unless you call an attorney.
You need to call an attorney who is knowledgeable about elder abuse law. You need an attorney who is experienced at negotiating with the prosecutor.
For over thirty years, Wallin & Klarich has obtained positive outcomes for clients charged with elder abuse. There are several elder abuse defenses available that could result in a dismissal or reduction of your elder abuse and neglect charge. Here are some successful defenses that our lawyers at Wallin & Klarich can raise on your behalf:
• Lack of intent
• Lack of criminal negligence
• Victim was not at least 65 years old
• Lack of knowledge that victim was 65 years old
• Self-defense or defense of another
We also know what the prosecution will have to prove to convict you of elder abuse. If the prosecution cannot prove all of the elements of the crime, then you cannot be convicted of elder abuse.
At Wallin & Klarich, we are dedicated to providing our clients with the best defense possible. Call us today at (877) 4-NO-JAIL or (877) 466-5245 and ask to talk to one of our elder abuse defense attorneys. We will be there when you call.
