2-Hour Session – Protecting the homeowner: How State Contractor Licensing Agencies can look to the criminal justice system for appropriate remedies

Paul will speak on Protecting the homeowner: How State Contractor Licensing Agencies can  look to the criminal justice system for appropriate remedies. During this presentation, Paul will share case studies drawn from his 22 years of prosecuting elder fraud crimes committed by both unlicensed and licensed contractors against older homeowners. He will encourage state licensing agencies to adopt more aggressive methods to hold those contractors accountable who seek to defraud especially the older homeowners in our communities. He will also recommend how to engage county and state prosecutors in these efforts.
