Elder Abuse / Neglect
Nursing Home Abuse and Elder Neglect Representation

The unfortunate truth is that elder abuse and neglect happen far more often than many families realize—and it can occur anywhere: in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or even by caregivers at home. At the Law Office of Kevin G. Little, we’ve seen firsthand how devastating these situations can be for families.
Fortunately, California law offers strong protections to help safeguard elders and dependent adults from physical harm, medical neglect, emotional trauma, financial exploitation, wrongful death, and other forms of mistreatment. With offices strategically located to serve Central California, Northern California, and Southern California, our experienced legal team is dedicated to standing up for victims and their families, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
Statewide Advocacy with a Local Presence
Elder abuse laws apply across the state, but holding local care facilities and corporations accountable requires local insight. We protect vulnerable seniors from our three regional hubs:
- Central California (Fresno Office): Serving families throughout the Central Valley, where we hold local nursing homes, memory care units, and assisted living facilities accountable to the region's growing community of seniors.
- Northern California (San Francisco Office): Providing robust representation for elder abuse and corporate facility neglect across the highly populated Bay Area counties.
- Southern California (San Diego Office): Protecting dependent adults and seniors throughout San Diego and the broader SoCal region against physical neglect, emotional trauma, and financial exploitation.
Whether you suspect a loved one is suffering from systemic neglect in a major corporate facility or facing immediate harm by an in-home caregiver, our regional teams are ready to step in.
