Alternative Sentencing Through Therapeutic Intensive Monitoring Courts (Drug and Mental Health Courts)

Drug Court: Drug court seeks to help those individuals whose criminal charges are directly related to their addiction to drugs. Instead of continuing the cycle of drug use and punishment related to that drug use, individuals in drug court work toward understanding and then addressing the long-term causes and effects of their addiction.

Mental Health Court: Mental Health court seeks to help those people whose criminal charges stem from their diagnosed mental illness. People in mental health court work closely with caseworkers and other professionals to obtain the services and treatment necessary to become healthy and functioning members of the community.

Attorney Kevin Malia has extensive experience working with Lake County's drug and mental health courts. Often working with a case worker and other professionals, we are able to resolve issues for our clients and keep them out of jail. We are dedicated to improving our clients' lives, and getting help can be an important step.
