Veterans Court Program Lawyer, Scranton

If you are a veteran who has been charged with a crime in or around Lackawanna County, it is important that you reach out to an attorney who is experienced at defending clients in your specific situation. You cannot afford to have anything less than the most professional and competent defense on your side when you find yourself in legal trouble.

It is important to explore all of your legal options after you have been arrested or charged, regardless of the exact circumstances of the alleged crime. If you choose to hire Thompson Law, criminal defense attorney William D. Thompson can determine whether you qualify for the Veterans Court Program.

What Is The Veterans Court Program?

Although the law does take crimes committed by veterans seriously, there is a consideration made for individuals who are suffering from underlying conditions such as PTSD. As a participant of this program, instead of being jailed the veteran in question will receive treatment and support from the Veterans Administration.

This program is supervised by veteran mentors and probation officers who provide reliable guidance and help veterans get back on the right track. There are certain factors that will have to be proven by a Scranton criminal defense attorney, such as that PTSD or mental illness being involved.

A few examples of crimes for which this defense could be used include:

  • DUI driving (DUI)
  • Property crimes
  • Public intoxication
  • Indecent exposure

The best way to understand your legal options is to contact an experienced attorney like Mr. Thompson.
