The
17th District Court in Redford, Michigan dedicated a Veterans
Treatment Court in November 2011. It offers veterans who are involved in the criminal
justice system with a coordinated response by VA, local veterans groups,
prosecutors, defense counsel, probation staff, and mentors. It is a unique
combination that offers both addiction and mental health treatment. It offers
the veterans a chance to receive treatment from VA for any mental health and
addiction disabilities that arose as a result of their time in service. It also
provides veterans with the tools they need to lead productive and law-abiding
lives. 52-1 District Court in Novi, Michigan also has a similar program and was
only the eighteenth one in the country. Out of 75 participants since 2009, none
have been rearrested.
Experienced and practical Michigan attorneys solving the problems of business owners, their families, and veterans... one case at a time.
