Expert Witness: Care Management, Home Care, Guardianship, and Fiduciary Litigation
As a national expert witness in caregiving, care management, home care, fiduciary litigation, guardianship, and conservatorship, Wilson supports companies and individuals (plaintiffs and defendants) around standards of care, negligence, duty of care, breach of contract, exploitation, personal injury, elder abuse, and vicarious liability.

She has been accepted as a 702 witness and meets the Daubert standard. As an expert witness, she testifies in court, reviews documents, and writes expert reports for plaintiffs and defendants throughout the United States.

Caregiving can be a blessing or an exhausting experience. If you identify with any of the statements below, feeling that there are days when you’re “tired of being a caregiver” or a care receiver, you’re in exactly the right place to find caregiver resources, support, and guidance.
Caregiver Life Experiences
“I feel guilty and angry. There are times when I don’t know what to do. I find it difficult to say no. Family members refuse to help. I am trapped caregiving for a parent for whom I have no emotional connection. I feel judged. No one understands. Being a caregiver is isolating and lonely.
My physical and emotional health is near breakdown. I have lost friends. I love my husband (or wife), but this is not the retirement I expected; I can’t be a caregiver anymore. I am burned out and going through the daily routine; I know I am making mistakes that could harm my loved one.
The healthcare system is broken; for many, it’s just a job, and no one cares. Neglect and ignorance resulted in the death of a loved one, and I’m afraid of what will happen to me. I was too naïve and trusting. I’m a power of attorney and don’t know what I’m supposed to do.
Most of us don’t know where to turn for help. What do you mean, Medicare doesn’t pay? My parents are stubborn and won’t listen. I don’t even know what questions to ask.”
