As a former consumer protection attorney, I know that people with bad intentions frequently take advantage of older Americans. In Congress I serve as a leader of the bipartisan Elder Justice Caucus, where I am fighting to help victims of fraud, hold scammers accountable, and recover stolen money for our seniors. Resources are available to you and your family if you need help. A call to my Beaverton office is a great place to start: 503-469-6010.
