“An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”
Martin Luther King
Greenwood Law Corp has a two pronged mission:
To provide trainings for professional agencies such as Adult Protective Services, law enforcement, prosecutors, long term care ombudsman programs, and retiree organizations.
To offer consulting and expert witness services to other attorneys who may be involved in litigation regarding allegations of elder or dependent adult abuse, neglect or exploitation.
Passion – to pursue justice for older victims and victims with disabilities
Purpose – to offer trainings and consulting by sharing my experiences gained in the court room
Perseverance – to have a do not quit mentality in everything I do
