Contested conservatorships are particularly difficult and acrimonious. I have extensive experience in contested conservatorship litigation representing those opposing conservatorships due to conservatorship abuse. This often includes family members and occasionally the person for whom the conservatorship is being sought. Conservatorships are among the most serious legal matters as they involve potentially taking away the civil rights of a proposed conservatee.
I previously served as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Contra Costa County Bar Association Elder Law Section and continue to be actively involved in issues affecting elderly and disabled persons, including conservatorship reform.
