About the Speakers:

Diane Dimond is an award-winning author, investigative journalist, syndicated columnist, and TV commentator. Her book, We’re Here to Help on the abusive and often criminal element within the nation’s guardianship/conservatorship system is a culmination of more than eight years of investigation. It offers a stark look at a system that was designed to protect the nation’s at-risk population but, sadly, has morphed into a predatory playground for greedy bad actors.

Sarah Boonin serves as Associate Dean for Experiential Learning and the Director of Clinical Programs, overseeing Suffolk’s nationally ranked Clinical Programs and Externships, Legal Practice Skills Program, trial advocacy programs, and other specialized experiential programs. She has been working in the adult guardianship area for the last 15 years, representing hundreds of family caregivers in these proceedings, writing, and doing law reform work.
