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.

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.

"Great Trusting Attorney!!!"I have already referred Kevin to a few friends that are going to through the same things I went through for custody. During my first conversation with Kevin, he was very informative, knowledgeable, and felt very trustworthy and genuine. I had debating on hiring an attorney because of the cost and experiences in the past with other attorneys that I had, but after our initial conversation, I knew he was the right one for my case. Kevin always made me aware of all my options and helped me threw probably one the toughest times in my life. I will use him and his firm again if any issues should ever arise. The relief I felt knowing that he was on my side and fighting for what I wanted for my child was wonderful.- Cari

"They help you stay calm and in control so you can make the right decisions."I worked with Megan Fiesinger and Christian Cunningham extensively over the course of almost a year in order to resolve issues that arose during my separation and divorce. I couldn’t imagine a more competent, diligent, and supportive team than the two of them, and at the end of the whole process, I found that everything they said and did was for the best. In the end, divorce is never positive, but Megan and Christian helped me secure THE most favorable outcome that was even possible.
Beyond that, they understand how emotional and chaotic the whole process can be, which is why they provide more than just legal support - they help you stay calm and in control so you can make the right decisions.
Additionally, they were supremely thorough in explaining my options and tradeoffs. That meant I spent way less on legal fees than I expected because they were perfectly willing to advise me NOT to give them money that wouldn’t ultimately contribute to a better outcome for myself. Their advice was always solely for my benefit.
I couldn’t recommend a better team than the folks at Alex White’s firm, and specifically Megan and Christian.- Andrew R.
