Searching for a elder law attorney in Nevada County? Counsel for California's elders: abuse, neglect, and protective arrangements. This page indexes the county's elder law coverage from the State Bar of California's official roll, with identity-verification markers where available.
A Gold Country county straddling the Sierra crest; the courthouse in Nevada City serves the western county around Grass Valley, while a Truckee branch handles matters for the Tahoe-area east side. The court of record is the Superior Court of California, County of Nevada · counsel who appear there regularly read the local calendar better than any brochure.
The law also keeps time: four years from discovery for financial elder abuse claims under Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 15657.7. Physical elder abuse and neglect claims follow the two-year injury period (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 335.1). The Elder Abuse Act's enhanced remedies (§ 15657) require clear and convincing evidence of recklessness, oppression, fraud, or malice. The plaque below carries the citation; the roster that follows carries the rest.
