cyberattacks that severely impact their financial security. As attorneys with a focus on successful outcomes for our clients, we are mission-focused and ready to support senior citizens who have suffered such losses," says Max Dilendorf, the founding partner of Dilendorf Law Firm.
The Dilendorf Law firm will investigate the nature of the crime, gather evidence, and navigate the federal cyber security and consumer protection laws which were designed to protect investors from these cyber theft and similar scams. They offer ongoing guidance for individuals who have been victims of elder
fraud by exploring avenues for recovering these funds.
