You should always consult with an attorney whenever your employer has made a serious accusation against you, especially when it is false. In this case, if your chosen field happens to be working with the elderly or in any type of institution that deals with patients, an accusation of elder abuse or patient abuse may bar you from working in this field ever again. Therefore, it is important that you consult and retain an attorney to at least protect your record and reputation.
