Mental Health Court Lawyers Fighting For You
It’s becoming more and more clear that a person’s mental health has a great impact on their criminal actions. People with depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder can find themselves in serious legal jeopardy, accused of crimes they would have never considered doing in a different mental state. That’s why a mental health court lawyer is essential for you.
At The Katz Law Group LLC, the firm’s attorneys work diligently and consistently to protect people in Atlanta, Marietta and across Georgia in a variety of criminal cases. Mental health crises are just that: crises. People suffering from a mental health episode don’t need a criminal record; they need help. And The Katz Law Group LLC is here to provide it.
How Does Mental Health Lead To Criminal Activity?
Mental illnesses make rational actions and thoughts difficult for an individual. There could be delusional thinking at play or compulsive thoughts. The sensitivity or severity of a mental health episode can drive a person to take actions that have serious criminal consequences.
The Katz Law Group LLC responds to and protects the rights of people who face charges for minor crimes while in the grips of a mental health episode. Things such as
- Theft
- Stalking
- Vandalism
- Drug charges.
- Aggravated assault
- Disturbing the peace
- Obstruction of a police officer
These crimes come with considerable consequences. If your mental health is the root cause of your behavior, you have the option to pursue a different venue, an accountability court or even a drug court. These different venues for those accused of minor crimes who suffer from mental illnesses or addiction are vital ways to protect vulnerable members of the community. The court offers alternative sentencing and treatment options in lieu of traditional sentencing.
The attorneys of The Katz Law Group LLC are dedicated and compassionate. They ethically and vigorously protect the rights and freedom of all their clients. Reach out today by calling 770-870-5344 or sending an email to get a free consultation.
