Nearly 1 in 10 elderly people will suffer elder abuse at the hands of another each year. Most victims of elder abuse do not take the steps to fight back against their abusers and their employers. This is due to fear, intimidation, and a lack or resources, and this is indeed one major factor causing the victimization of our elders. But help is available to guide you and/or a family member through the process of winning financial recovery for victims of elder abuse while holding abusers accountable so they do not victimize others. At Johnson Moore, we are passionate advocates on behalf of victims of elder abuse across Southern California and look forward to seeing how we can help you in bringing an elder abuse claim.
Founding partners Gregory Johnson and Jody Moore have been fighting back against elder abuse and neglect in our society for years. We understand the fear, humiliation, and confusion that can arise when elder abuse happens, and we are committed to obtaining justice and the maximum financial recovery possible for each and every one of our clients. Over the years, we have recovered millions on behalf of victims of elder abuse and their families through settlements and winning verdicts.
Most of our actions are primarily based on California’s Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act, which provides legal recovery for victims of:
In addition to their work in bringing legal action on behalf of elder abuse victims, Mr. Johnson and Ms. Moore are also proud members of the California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR), and a founding member of Elder Justice Advocates. This is a group of Elder Abuse attorneys throughout California who, along with their clients, pledge a portion of every case to the prevention of further abuse and neglect.

At Johnson Moore, we know full well that elder abuse victims and their families often face stonewalling, denial, and even intimidation when they try to take action against elder abuse. Our attorneys are compassionate and determined defenders of the elderly, and we will take the time to fully understand your concerns and assess what steps we can take on your behalf. Even if you are unsure of whether you have a valid claim, we look forward to hearing from you to help you explore your options for obtaining the justice you deserve.

Who is protected and what constitutes elder or dependent adult abuse is specifically defined by the statute. An “elder” is anyone over age 65. A “dependent adult” is any person between the age of 18 and 64 who has physical or mental limitations that restrict his or her ability to carry out normal activities or to protect his or her rights.
