Stebner Gertler & Guadagni

### Compassionate Advocates for Seniors In 1987, Kathryn Stebner established Stebner & Associates in San Francisco and made history by initiating California's first elder abuse lawsuit. Her dedication to elder law has expanded well beyond the walls of her firm. If you or a loved one have experienced elder abuse—be it financial exploitation, pressure sores, or other forms of mistreatment—reach out to us at 415.362.9800 for support. ### Over Two Decades Committed to Combatting Nursing Home Abuse With roots in private practice since 1985, attorney Kathryn Stebner has made significant strides in addressing issues related to elderly maltreatment and medical negligence litigation. Her commitment was inspired early on by her own upbringing alongside her grandparents. Licensed in both California and Oregon, she frequently shares her expertise through speaking engagements and writings on elder abuse matters while also serving as an educator at law schools as well as a mediator. ### Advocacy Beyond Legal Practice Over the past four years, Ms. Stebner has actively collaborated with legislative teams focused on enhancing policies relating to long-term care within California’s framework of state laws—all while authoring "Practice and Procedures in Actions Against Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly," featured within CEB's comprehensive guide titled *California: Elder Law Litigation*, aimed at empowering advocates like herself. In recognition of her tireless efforts defending residents' rights within nursing homes across California she was honored with the Legal Advocacy Award from California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform back in 2001. ### Client-Friendly Services For Victims Of Nursing Home Mistreatment At our office located conveniently near Powell Street Market accessible via public transport we offer complimentary initial consultations catering specifically towards victims seeking justice against nursing home neglect or abuse cases—with flexibility built into our schedule allowing after-hours meetings or weekend availability if regular hours do not fit your needs!
