Beyond Criminal Defense
Baker Act & Marchman Act Representation
Mental health crises and substance abuse emergencies often intersect with the legal system. Our attorneys help Florida families protect their loved ones’ rights and dignity through the state’s involuntary examination and treatment laws.
Baker Act Defense
The Florida Baker Act (Chapter 394, F.S.) allows involuntary examination of a person believed to be a danger to themselves or others due to a mental health condition — up to 72 hours of holding, with potential extension for inpatient treatment.
We help you
- → Challenge the legal basis for involuntary commitment
- → Attend court hearings to protect civil rights
- → Advocate for release or least-restrictive alternatives
- → Prevent improper firearm and record consequences
Marchman Act Defense
The Florida Marchman Act (Chapter 397, F.S.) lets a family member, three unrelated adults, or a treatment provider petition the court for involuntary assessment and stabilization when someone’s addiction becomes a danger to themselves or others.
We help you
- → File Marchman Act petitions for family members
- → Represent respondents at assessment and treatment hearings
- → Coordinate with licensed treatment providers
- → Structure long-term care plans and status reviews
