Defending Those with Disabilities in Florida
Many criminal defense attorneys know how to fight criminal charges. When you or someone you love suffers from a physical or mental handicap, it is critically important to turn to a lawyer who has experience defending the mentally and physically challenged.
Investigators are often quick to accuse individuals who struggle with mental or physical challenges. At The Law Offices of Catherine A. Drees, we focus our practice on providing holistic legal representation for these individuals in Florida. If you or someone you care about is facing criminal charges, call 386-255-2121 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation.
When our clients suffer from mental or physical challenges and face criminal charges, we have two primary goals. The first is to provide an aggressive defense. The second is to help clients get the medical help they need.
Providing Aggressive Criminal Defense
Prosecutors need to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you had the ability to commit the crime and that you were mentally capable of forming criminal intent. We have a deep understanding of various mental and physical challenges that affect a person's ability to form criminal tent, including:
- Insanity
- Bi-polar disorder
- Delusion
- Schizophrenia
- Physical disabilities
In order to effectively defend our clients, we often need to educate judges and other lawyers about the way various disabilities impact our clients' mental and physical abilities. As a former prosecutor, our attorney knows how to communicate with the other side and reach positive solutions for our clients.
Helping Clients' Recover
We have more than two decades of experience helping clients with issues related to the Baker Act and the Marchman Act, both of which give families and judges the right to require individuals to seek treatment for mental health or mood disorders and for drug or alcohol abuse.
