The 48 year old mother, who was just diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, who would never hurt a fly, but suffers an episode that leaves their daughter, son, husband, mother, or best friend hurt. I am here to help you through this trying moment. People with mental illnesses often end up incarcerated unjustly in jail and locked treatment facilities because they are vulnerable and misunderstood.

Fortunately, the California legislature have enacted laws that recognize that some individuals fall outside the criminal legal framework when it is determined that the alleged misconduct was the result of a legitimate mental health issue rather than malicious intent to commit a crime.
