PTSD and Military Personnel Accused of Crimes

We understand the complex issues that people who are in the military and are veterans of war often face in returning to the states. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is becoming an increasingly common experience for people in the military.

If you saw combat in Iraq or Afghanistan, you may be suffering undiagnosed PTSD. PTSD can cause irrational thoughts and behavior. Some men and women who suffer PTSD turn to drugs or alcohol.

When experiencing this sort of stress, people who are otherwise normal, may engage in seemingly bizarre, sometimes criminal behavior. PTSD is a recognized mental illness. If you suffer PTSD, you need help, not jail.

LAWSUIT DEFENSE
If you are sued, you need to act within a short period of time or a default judgment may be taken against you. If you're sued because of an auto accident or other matter that you have insurance for, you need to turn the suit over to your insurance company right away. If you're sued for something you don't have insurance for (such as collections, or a business or consumer dispute), you should hire an attorney. We defend people sued by finance companies, credit card companies, employees, employers, customers, etc.

TEACHERS
We represent members of East Baton Rouge Federation of Teachers and A+PEL, as well as individual teachers who have issues with their School Board involving tenure, assault pay, civil rights, etc.
