Beware of Non-Profit Solicitors Who Prey on the Elderly During the Holidays

Over the years, we’ve fielded panicky phone calls from seniors about charitable solicitations they were receiving and from children whose parents were making inappropriate or excessive charitable contributions. Nancy Roberson remembers an “emergency” meeting with an elderly lady terrified that she was going to be arrested if she didn’t send her check by the deadline in the solicitation!  As a result, we included a link to the Ohio State Bar Association’s 11/30/14 article about “Telephone Solicitations from Charitable Organizations” that we hope you will find helpful, especially before the end of the year when charitable solicitations proliferate.
