well we’re representing a lot more
00:05
people who are being accused
00:07
of uh financially exploiting a
00:09
vulnerable adult
00:11
and usually what happens is that a
00:12
person is taking care of their parents
00:14
money
00:15
as either the trustee or the power of
00:17
attorney
00:18
and someone frequently another family
00:20
member
00:21
accuses them of mismanaging their
00:23
parents money they’re saying that when
00:24
they spend it they’re actually spending
00:26
it on themselves
00:26
and these cases are really difficult
00:28
because they can tear a family apart
00:30
a lot of times we’re talking to our
00:31
clients and they come to us
00:33
before they’re ever charged with the
00:34
crime and we’ve had a lot of success in
00:37
making sure
00:38
that they aren’t ever charged with the
00:39
crime but even when they are charged
00:41
with the crime
00:42
there are a lot of different avenues
00:43
that we can take to defend this case
00:45
and we’re able to show prosecutors and
00:47
judges that when our clients are
00:49
spending their parents money
00:50
they’re not financially exploiting their
