Are you appearing in Court?

Addiction drives people to make hasty decisions that can lead to serious consequences. 

If you are facing court for a drug or alcohol-related matter, being thoroughly prepared is crucial. 

You will need a highly skilled lawyer who specialises in criminal law.

Often, we see less than ideal outcomes in court cases, not due to the lawyer’s abilities, but because the client was unprepared and did not engage in a treatment program and follow the lawyer’s instructions. 

It is vital to enroll in a treatment program before your court date to achieve the best possible result on the day of the hearing.

The ideal is that you are enrolled in an outpatient rehab program or have completed the program before your court date. 

The Addiction Clinic will collaborate with your lawyer and provide attendance records along with regular updates on your progress.

Your lawyer will often provide you with a list of jobs to do before court – these MUST BE DONE.

We can assure you that if these tasks are not completed, your lawyer will not be amused, nor will the Judge. 

We will help you with this and make sure your tasks are completed on time. 

If you don’t have a lawyer, please contact us, as we have contacts in this area.  

Please be aware that we are a private clinic and charge for our services.

Additionally, not all of the lawyers we recommend provide legal aid.

It’s advisable to hire an extremely competent criminal lawyer and enroll in a rehab program now to achieve the most favorable outcome.

Trying to avoid court will only lead to further and often more serious charges.
