Delray Beach, FL October 23, 2019: Mindy Felinton, founder of Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers, has posted a new article on her law firm's website entitled "Be Proactive To Avoid Becoming A Victim Of Elder Abuse." Ms. Felinton clearly wants to help the elderly avoid being taken advantage of by family members as well as strangers.

Felinton writes, "Few things make my heart hurt more than hearing about vulnerable older people being taken advantage of financially or being abused in any way." She adds, "That's why I have dedicated my practice to the area of elder care law for the past 30 years."

"As an elder care attorney," says Felinton, "I am able to help people who need someone on their side to help them create a solid plan to protect their assets through both short-term and long-term planning. I also help them obtain benefits to care for their loved ones." She continues, "When people are proactive and put a solid asset protection plan in place while they are well and their minds are still sharp, chances of being taken advantage of financially are far less likely to happen."
