Mental Health & Substance Abuse A Fresh, Modern Approach to Law

Mental Health & Substance Abuse Lawyers in Centennial

Providing Support in Domestic Violence & Family Law Matters

Studies have shown that substance abuse and mental health disorders are often factors in domestic violence situations in households. Both perpetrators and victims of domestic violence are much more likely to suffer from substance abuse and mental health problems. Because of this, protective orders and other court-ordered programs are often needed to protect victims and their children. Court-ordered programs, such as anger management and substance abuse programs, may also be needed for perpetrators.

If you are involved in any type of domestic violence situation that involves substance abuse or a mental health issue, we urge you to get the help you need. At the Law Office of Alexandra White, PC, we are dedicated to the welfare of all family members in the greater Denver area.

Substance Abuse, Mental Health Problems & Domestic Violence

Substance abusers are more likely to have mental health issues and become victims of domestic violence due to their vulnerability in the face of manipulation and excessive emotional, financial, and physical control. On the other hand, otherwise healthy individuals who become victimized by domestic violence may resort to substance abuse and/or intoxication and become reluctant to report any domestic violence attack.

It is also well-known that those with substance abuse problems, such as alcoholism or drug use, often engage in violent or criminal behavior, including domestic violence. Substance abuse and addiction impairs judgment, gives rise to uncontrollable emotions and impulses, and provokes irrational behavior. In these situations, the family unit is threatened, children suffer, and domestic partners or spouses face intimidation and fear for the safety of themselves and their children.

Our firm is here to provide all of the legal approaches and support needed in the face of these situations. Let us use our experience and commitment to your welfare and that of your family to ensure that your rights are protected through appropriate legal action. Whether you are a victim of violence or have been unfairly accused of violence, we can help.

Call (303) 647-4245 for capable and compassionate legal help today.

    "Krista, Thank you so much for your help and getting me through this difficult situation."

    Krista, Thank you so much for your help and getting me through this difficult situation.

    - Julie B.
    "Would always be my choice"

    I found Alexandria White through a neighborhood referral page and this office did not disappoint. From the very first meet (consult) she was very realistic about cost (less than I anticipated), timeframe, and the process. Advice was helpful in every choice I had to make. She was professional yet personal. There were a couple times my ex and his attorney were slow on deadlines and they took care of getting us back on track in a tactful and firm way while maintaining a positive tone with opposing counsel. The entire staff was friendly, efficient and I would make the confident choice to hire them all over again if needed.

    "She makes the process as easy as possible!"

    A special thank you for Lorie, she makes the process as easy as possible when I first contacted the office. Her laugh, kindness, cheery voice and calm presences got me through many days after I spoke with her.

    "I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of my divorce and I highly recommend Michael to negotiate your divorce."

    Michael Cheroutes, Jr. negotiated a “Miracle ” settlement for me with exceptional skill and instinct. I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of my divorce and I highly recommend Michael to negotiate your divorce.
    Michael was willing to really listen to me:
    I had spoken to dozens of attorneys and had even hired a divorce firm, before I was referred to Michael, but they all failed to put in the initial time and energy into fully understanding and comprehending what I was saying about my case. Great lawyers know the value of listening and Michael put in the energy and passion up front, at our initial consultation, that allowed him to extract and analyze the relevant facts he needed to recommend a plan.
    Michael knows the Law and is a stellar communicator:
    Great lawyers don’t allow their clients to go down expensive rabbit holes. Michael explained clearly what will work and what I needed to focus on. His guidance allowed me to identify what documents and evidence I needed to collect to assist him with my case while saving me money. Michael’s communication with the opposing counsel was genius; he ignored the counsel’s reputation and my dire warnings about him and developed his own professional, strategic and healthy skeptical relationship with him that paid off handsomely for me in the end.
    Michael is smart and creative:
    Great Lawyers use their knowledge and creativity to craft solutions that I never even realized were possible. Michael approached my case and new information with an open mind and tailored creative solutions to any and all obstacles despite me telling him that my prior attorney said this or that couldn’t be done. We hit one big, tall, unbreakable brick wall and I was in despair what to do. Michael used perfect judgement in determining that the Wall was not worth climbing but instead used it as a negotiating tool where it mattered most and served me best.
    Michael is a Great negotiator:
    When it came time for mediation Michael helped me prepare and talked with me at length about what to expect which calmed me. Michael summed up my case to the mediator with stunning accuracy and compassion. He had developed a legal and moral argument of why my offer was truly the only fair and equitable outcome. It was remarkable to witness and moved me to tears to realize not only had Michael been listening to me all along but that he really believed in my case and that it mattered to him enough to be well prepared and organized when it was crunch time. The mediator agreed with his argument and I assume she helped opposing counsel agree as well because I received more then I dreamed was possible on the first offer. I was elated with the results and the papers were signed that day!
    Great lawyers know how how to prepare effective, clear and well-reasoned legal documents:
    As awesome as mediation went I had no idea how important the “boiler plate” legal document, memorializing our agreement was going to be. The first draft written by opposing counsel depressed me and I truly didn’t feel comfortable signing it - there were way too many “what if’s” left out. I expressed my concerns to Michael who told me not to worry and that he still had to review it. The next version, which Michael edited, was effective, clear and well reasoned and addressed every one of my concerns eliminating all my “what if’s”.
    A Great Lawyer assembles a great team around him:
    Michael and his para-legal Laura, were proactive and in constant communications keeping me updated and informed. I was so grateful to have such a caring and knowledgeable team assisting me during one of the most difficult and dark times in my life. Their passion for serving others was contagious and refreshing. Michael and Laura’s commitment to making things a “little bit better for me” have and will make a dramatic and positive impact on the rest of my life.

    "Very satisfied with his services."
    Kevin Murphy is a reliable lawyer. He understands the law and worked diligently on my case. I felt comfortable with decisions that were made, and Kevin always kept me updated on a regular basis. He responded promptly to my calls and emails; and he made me feel comfortable and secure during a child custody process that is, in most cases, stressful. I would definitely recommend Kevin Murphy for all Family and child custody cases.
    - Havilah
    "Great Attorney"

    Kevin is a very knowledgeable attorney that always keeps his clients informed. He knows how important these legal issues are to his clients and is a wonderful advocate. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.
