After Shortell Law LLC issued its Press Release regarding a class action complaint filed by firm owner Caitlin Shortell, the Anchorage Daily News wrote a story describing the complaint and defendants' initial responses.  Shortell Law LLC's full press release is available on our blog.

This coverage is part of a series of articles by the Anchorage Daily News and other news outlets related to Cache Integrity Services' mishandling of guardianship services.  

The article states, "[t]he lawsuit stems from the Alaska Office of Public Advocacy's decision two years ago to request that dozens of public guardianship clients — all disabled and vulnerable adult residents of Alaska — be transferred from the care of the state to the care of a private guardian who proved incapable of ensuring their basic needs were met."

The article goes on to explain that, "[a]ccording to the lawsuit, the actions of Newman and Goldstein resulted in “egregious neglect, abuse, and loss of real and personal property, money and benefits.” The lawsuit states that Newman and Goldstein “knew or should have known that they were obligated to protect plaintiffs but were deliberately indifferent to their duties.”
