Attorney Teitelbaum was the lead counsel for the landmark decision in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, in the case of In Re Mollie Orshansky, 804 A.2d 1077 (2002). The Court of Appeals decided in favor of Mollie Orshansky, who was being forced into a nursing home by the District of Columbia Adult Protective Services, against her own wishes and those of her family, in spite of advance preparations she had made to be with her family in New York.
Attorney Teitelbaum was also the lead and responsible attorney for the decision by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in the case on In Re Ann Cooper Penning, 2007.DC181 (2007), resulting in a complete reversal of the lower court decision to appoint a conservator over the assets of Ann Cooper Penning, who was the author of the 1969 volume on Aid to Distressed Banks. The lower Court had decided against her expressed wishes, and disregarded her properly executed power of attorney.
He was also the lead and responsible attorney for a number of other probate cases that involved land contests, adverse possession, partition of real estate, and other probate and estate issues before the Superior Court of the District of Columbia as well as the Circuit Courts of Montgomery and Prince George's Counties.
