Solicitors Elder Abuse
Elder abuse refers to the mistreatment or neglect of older adults, which can take many forms—physical, psychological, sexual, or financial. In the UK, such abuse is a serious matter. When harm is intentional or reckless, it may lead to criminal charges and possibly custodial sentences. Recognising and reporting the signs of elder abuse is critical to safeguarding vulnerable individuals.

What is elder abuse in the UK?
- Physical abuse: Hitting, pushing, or restraining an older person inappropriately.
- Emotional or psychological abuse: Threats, intimidation, or humiliation causing distress and fear.
- Sexual abuse: Non-consensual sexual contact or exploitation of a person unable to give informed consent.
- Financial abuse: Misusing funds, stealing belongings, or fraudulently accessing bank accounts and property.
- Neglect: Failing to meet basic needs, such as food, hygiene, or medical care, leading to harm or deterioration.
How can a solicitor help with elder abuse cases, and what does it cost?
A criminal law solicitor can:
- Provide legal advice: Explaining the relevant laws, potential offences, and rights of the victim or the accused.
- Assist in reporting and investigation: Helping victims or their families liaise with the police or safeguarding authorities.
- Defend or prosecute: If you’re accused of elder abuse, a solicitor can develop a defence strategy. If you’re seeking justice for a loved one, they can represent you through private prosecution or support the Crown Prosecution Service’s case.
Costs vary based on the complexity of the case and whether legal aid is available. Hourly rates generally range from £100 to £300. If you qualify for legal aid, some or all of your costs may be covered. An initial consultation, often offered free or at a reduced rate, can clarify your options and potential fees.
