Today is the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The extraordinary bravery of those soldiers is hard to comprehend.

Operation Neptune was the largest amphibious invasion in history, nearly 160,000 soldiers landing to break Hitler’s hold on Western Europe, backed by even more sailors and the crews of 11,590 aircr…

Please share this article if you know anyone who has had their home or property foreclosed in New York for failure to pay taxes. As the article explains counties are selling the home and keeping the excess. Let’s say the homeowner owed $10,000 in taxes and the home sold for $30,000. Logic would suggest that the county would return the excess to wit $20,000 to the homeowner. Apparently not. The counties have been keeping the money and now the Supreme Court issued a ruling that the excess money must be given to the property owner. It is unclear if it will be retroactive.

Owners of foreclosed properties sold by governments at a profit deserve the money they're owed.

The Village of Orleans Health & Rehabilitation Center in Western New York is being sued by New York State, alleging years of neglect, abuse and financial fraud. As an attorney representing victims hurt physically, emotionally and financially by institutions, it is heartbreaking to see these allegations. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon and I’ve seen similar neglect and abuse since I first started advocating for the elderly in 1998.

If you are in need of these institutions, we recommend daily visits and that you uncompromisingly advocate for your loved one on a regular basis. Despite your unyielding oversight, neglect and abuse can still occur. Should you need legal counsel, our attorneys are here to guide you through the tenuous process of holding the institution accountable.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James will make an announcement about the state's efforts to protect people in nursing homes at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday

You can protect yourself from being sued for the bills of your loved ones by reading the admission agreement very carefully.
