Court-Ordered Rehab Can be an Alternative to Incarceration or Other Forms of Punishment

Substance abuse alters the brain—and these alterations can interfere with an individual’s ability to think clearly, exercise good judgment, and control their behavior. As a result, chemical dependency can lead good people to make bad choices that land them in trouble with the law. At Bernard & Bernard, we work with the best court advocates, drug counselors, and outpatient and inpatient treatment programs that often suggest how to utilize an outpatient drug program, such as NuHab to reduce sentencing outcomes and comport to the court’s requirements.

Our advocates will attend court with you and make the case for participation in an alternative sentencing or court-ordered program that will allow your to clear his or her record or meet the conditions of probation. Our court advocates are highly experienced at navigating the complexities of the court system and working with district attorneys, lawyers, public defenders, judges and probation officers to ensure that our clients receive court-ordered rehab as an alternative sentencing option. This allows our clients to get the help they need rather than spend time in jail, where they would be unable to address the underlying issues that caused them to be charged with criminal conduct. Through drug rehab and alcohol rehab, non-violent defendants with substance abuse issues can take responsibility for their misconduct and, with recovery, make important changes in their lives.

In drug crimes, every detail of your case can make an impact on your defense. We never take any accusation at face value. Our goal is to get beneath the surface of the evidence against you and thoroughly investigate every detail. We gather information from police reports, drug test results, and witness statements. We interview witnesses. We file motions to dismiss drug cases based on unwarranted severity of charges, lack of evidence, or unlawfully seized evidence. We will fight to suppress any evidence or witness statement that should not be lawfully allowed in your case. We are known for our attention to detail. Our firm is successful because of the time and dedication we give to every single case.
