At Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP, we are constantly striving to become better and more knowledgeable criminal defense attorneys. Individuals who suffer from mental health issues and get arrested need a criminal defense attorney with a thorough and detailed understanding of the specific ways in which mental health issues can be used to effect the case. However, it is not always easy to obtain the legal expertise needed for defendant’s who suffer from mental health related issues. Lessem, Newstat & Tooson is one of the few criminal defense law firms in Southern California with the experience, knowledge and expertise to handle the vast array of issues that come up in these types of cases. This knowledge also extends to non-criminal matters, such as hearings on 5150 designations, restoration of sanity cases and even mental health conservatorships.
We understand that these qualities are rare and sometimes very difficult to find when looking for an attorney that can represent your case. Therefore, every Southern California mental health lawyer at our firm has dedicated years of practice to exploring the depths of the mental health field as it pertains to the criminal justice system. Whether you are seeking more information about the history of M’Naghten Rule or you want to learn about the conditions of a Murphy Conservatorship, we are ready to help. We know that understanding the totality of what happens at a sanity hearing and how it could affect your placement in a treatment vs. jail is a complex process that is not easy to understand.. No matter what the conditions of your case may be, we have the skills and know-how to defend you against your charges.
Don’t wait to get the legal help you need and deserve. Call our Southern California attorneys today at 888-643-2943.
