Defending People with Addictions
An addiction to drugs or alcohol can cause respectable people to do things they would otherwise avoid at all cost. The disease can lead people to commit burglary, robbery or other property crimes to support their addiction. DUI, vehicular homicide and vehicular assault charges are often the result of a person's chronic alcoholism or drug use. People need more than a strong defense against criminal charges when they are trapped in addiction.
