Recovering Compensation in a Financial Elder Abuse Lawsuit in California
Legal remedies are available in California to any victim of financial elder abuse that is either an adult-dependent or at least 65 years old. Financial elder abuse claims must be filed within four years of the discovery of the abuse (or within four years of when the abuse should have reasonably been discovered). If the abuse is ongoing, the statute of limitations does not apply.
To prevail in a financial elder abuse suit, you will need to demonstrate:
- The victim was at least 65 years old or an adult-dependent when the abuse occurred
- It is “more likely than not” that abuse occurred
- The abuser was aware or should have been aware that their conduct was likely to harm the victim
Pursuing legal action in these cases can help you recover many types of monetary damages, including the value of the stolen assets (plus interest and any resulting gains), treble damages, and legal fees. Punitive damages may be assessed if the abuser’s conduct was especially egregious.



Focused On You
-
Your InterestsI provide the quality representation you would expect from a big, successful law firm at reasonable costs. I have 36 years of California legal experience, and I personally handle every case.
Although I am a litigation attorney, I often recommend mediation or negotiation to resolve disputes. Filing a lawsuit and arguing your case in court is expensive. Through these processes, we can come up with creative solutions that are tailored to your individual situation. -
Your Value
When someone consults with me, that typically means that they have experienced a major life event. As a result, I genuinely care about helping that person reach the right solution. To do this, I always:
Listen to my clients' concerns and priorities.
Take the time to understand how the situation came about.
Help clients find the most cost-effective solution to their problems.
Provide honest advice with compassion.

Your Outcome
Legal disputes can be emotionally and financially draining. In 1986, when I founded the Menifee-based Law Offices of Rob Schelling, A Professional Corporation, it was my goal to build a client-focused law firm to help people reach solutions that meet their legal needs while minimizing the stress and cost.
I am determined to find the outcome that is best for you. Predicting the outcome of any dispute is not entirely possible, but experience does play a vital role in navigating your options and choices.
