I was the founding chair of the Vulnerable Adult Task Force in Vancouver, Washington. The task force purpose was to bring together experts in elder abuse to collaborate on how to assist the victims, recover stolen money, and prosecute offenders. I successfully prosecuted numerous major elder abuse frauds including trying cases involving thefts of over $1,000,000 from victimized seniors. I have been a recurring speaker in Oregon and Washington and local television on elder abuse.
