MENTAL HEALTH LAW
Bakersfield Mental Health Lawyers
Understanding Mental Health & Criminal Defense
The criminal justice system often fails when it comes to handling matters related to individuals suffering from mental health related issues. People with mental health conditions that caught up in the justice system need to be treated differently that standard criminal cases.
They need to be assessed by a mental health professional, a treatment plan needs to be developed and the role their mental health related conditions played in the alleged crime needs to be determined. These are highly complex and specialized issues.
