Six Attorneys Named Finalists for 2026 Consumer Attorney of the Year

Six Stebner Gertler & Guadagni attorneys are finalists for CAOC's 2026 Consumer Attorney of the Year for their role in a landmark elder neglect case that led to legal reforms.

This recognition underscores the critical importance of holding elder care facilities accountable for neglect. The case not only achieved justice for Theresa Donahue but also spurred legal reforms that strengthen protections for all California elders, making it harder for facilities to impose forced arbitration and increasing accountability for abuse. For families considering long-term care, this news highlights the need for vigilance and the potential for legal recourse when facilities fail to provide adequate care.
