Firm Successfully Defends Administrator of Residential Care Facility for the Elderly and Co-Defendants Against State Criminal Elder Abuse Charges

A Los Angeles County Judge dismissed all charges against Silverado Senior Living Management Inc., two other corporate entities, and three company officials in connection with the COVID-related deaths of 14 people beginning in March 2020.

The MPBF litigation team was led by Shareholder Philip J. Kearney and Director Christopher Ulrich. It was their motion to exclude and dismiss (joined by all co-defendants) that was granted by the Court.

We are pleased that the Court made the courageous and just decision,” Ulrich said. “The impact on the elder care industry of a contrary ruling would have been significant.”
