Billy's parents became his legal guardian and are now able to take care of all of his future needs.
The Wallaces are the loving parents of Billy. Billy was born with several medical conditions that made him severely disabled, with cognitive deficiencies and a limited ability to communicate. Once he turned 18, Billy was legally presumed to be able to make his own decisions, but, in reality, this was not possible. CLA represented the Wallaces in Surrogate's Court.

Laura recovered more than $3000 in wrongful charges.
CLA helped Laura recover more than $3000 in wrongful charges by an assisted living facility. Laura is a widow who lives in the house she shared with her late husband. She began to find it difficult to maintain the house on her own and considered moving into assisted living. She did some research and was impressed with a facility in Nassau County. Laura decided to spend some time visiting for a couple of hours on a few days. To do so, the facility required her to sign several forms, including ones that set forth the monthly fee should she move in. After her visits, Laura decided she wanted to stay at home and promptly notified the facility. However, the facility charged her credit card for an entire month's rent. Laura contacted CLA for help. CLA contacted the facility on Laura's behalf and worked with Laura to challenge the credit card charge. CLA was able to get the charge reversed and the facility dropped its claim.
