Craig T. Matthews & Associates: Dayton Elder Law Litigation Representation

Serving Clients In Dayton, Cincinnati And Throughout Central And Southern Ohio

At Craig T. Matthews & Associates, LPA, we ask the question: If attorneys won't step up to protect the elderly and the most vulnerable in our society from fraud and financial abuse, who will. Since attorney Craig Matthews began practicing law with a Dayton firm in 1978, he has helped senior citizens protect themselves from being taken advantage of by fraudulent schemers that prey on the vulnerable. In 1995, Mr. Matthews opened our law firm with a simple philosophy: We protect those who can't protect themselves.

Attorney Craig Matthews has earned the highest AV Preeminent* peer review rating for ethical standards and legal ability. He is recognized as one of the leading legal authorities in the area of forensic accounting and preventing elder abuse. Visit our  Verdicts and Settlements and Professional Recognition pages to learn more about his experience and professional credentials.

Cost Of Litigation

It is fair to ask whether hiring an attorney will cost more than the financial losses your elderly loved one is suffering. In cases when intentional fraud can be proven, the settlement or jury award will typically include punitive damages as well as cost of legal fees. In all cases, we practice with integrity, including reasonable fees based on fair and responsible billing practices. During your initial consultation, we will explain your options and give you an honest evaluation of whether it makes financial sense to pursue litigation.
