Mental Health Matters

Expert Legal Representation for Clients with Mental Health Diagnoses Facing Criminal Charges

At the Law Office of Elaine M. Evans, PLLC, we understand the complex challenges the criminal justice system can present for someone with a mental health diagnosis. Elaine continues to stay up to date on continuing education and resources available to clients who are facing criminal charges as a result of being undiagnosed, unmedicated, or self-medicating with street drugs or other unprescribed medications.  We are prepared to evaluate the case, along with your medical & treatment history to better provide you with skilled legal representation. Often, a mental health diagnosis can be an important component to argue a lack of criminal intent, and/or to mitigate or attempt to lessen the punishment you receive. We will explore all available options, including dismissals, a reduction of charges, and entering into a mental health pre-trial intervention agreement, to protect your rights and future. You need an experienced attorney, and an attorney who has a reputation for recognizing, addressing, and assisting her clients with mental health issues.
