Good afternoon all,
After meeting with the Transitions program last week, I was made aware of the following:
1- If your client has insurance and qualifies through their assessment for the Transitions program, it can be an alternative to cash bond or prison sentence.
2- The program accepts dual diagnosis clients and has a residential program followed by intensive outpatient.
3- Most importantly, they will take clients on an ankle monitor, giving the court a further layer of assurance of safety to the community.
4- They have, on full time staff, a court liaison who can provide not only information to the court about the 34 year program, but will give monthly/ weekly/ whatever reports required by the court.
If you have a client that you believe could benefit from this program or it can aid in the resolution of their case or release from jail call John Whyte 305-949-9001 or his cell 305-302-4455.
Rumpole responds:
Count us a confused. Transactions?
We don't appear much in bond hearing court and we're not sure what this all means, but it appears to be good and the information should be helpful.
TRUMP RIGHT ON FBI
Count us in on supporting the Prez in his criticisms of the FBI on Monday.
There is no reason for the FBI to show up early in the morning and raid an office when the issue is business records.
It is disturbing. And make no mistake, the next time we are crossing a federal agent and they ambush our client at 5 AM we intend to ask them who they work for and if they agree that their boss was correct when he attacked the FBI's tactics in raiding his personal lawyer's office.
We're on your side Mr. President. Let's make America Great Again and reel in these FBI gestapo tactics.
It is very refreshing to have a POTUS so concerned with civil rights and criminal procedure.
From Occupied America, where there is no reason not to show up politely at 9:30 AM after making an appointment and ensuring counsel is present to monitor the situation, fight the power!
