Son Won't Evict 98-Year-Old Mom: Lawyer

Withdraws lawsuit a day before going to trial against his mother.

An attorney for a Trumbull man says he has withdrawn a lawsuit trying to evict his 98-year-old mother and will allow her to remain in her Fairfield home.

Attorney Nick D'Agosto tells The Associated Press that Peter Kantorowski ended the lawsuit a day before the case was going to trial in Bridgeport Superior Court.

D'Agosto said Thursday that his client has been vilified but in fact cares deeply about his mother, Mary. He says Kantorowski wanted his mother to live with him because he was concerned about her living conditions, but she didn't want to leave the home.

Mary Kantorowski's attorney, Richard Bortolot Jr., said she can take of herself. She said she still does some of her own cooking and is seen regularly in her home by doctors and nurses.
