Legal Support
For legal professionals, families and those who struggle with substance abuse. Assisting families, and their struggling loved one(s) in navigating addiction & alcoholism towards successful long term recovery.
Excited to share that Pursuit of Recovery has added a very valuable component to our services. Legal Support is very near and dear to my heart. Substance abuse will take us to a bottom. That bottom unfortunately can be jail, prison, an Institution, or unfortunate death. We are here to help not only the client, but the family, friends and if necessary the colleagues. Yes, change can and will be scary. We are here to help in every way possible so the outcome is NOT deadly. Whether you are the one facing pending charges; the family of a loved one who is facing pending charges; or the legal professional who has taken on a client; Pursuit of Recovery’s Legal Support is here to help with the recovery process.
Assistance with Experience:
When addiction and alcoholism bring families and individuals face to face with legal troubles, I will be there to work in providing a solution for all. The drug or the drink are just symptoms of underlying and unresolved issues that need to be appropriately addressed. Whether it be childhood or adult trauma; coping skills reset; or undiagnosed mental health that led to self medication, Pursuit of Recovery is here to help navigate the journey for ALL involved while utilizing appropriate professionals.
Goal Seeking:
When working with families or individuals the #1 goal of Professional Legal Counsel is to ensure the best possible outcome. When addiction/alcoholism are present, MY #1 goal is to screen, assess and address what led to why they have become a client needing Legal Counsel in the 1st place. What does your Legal Support provide? When the attorney, family, or client engages our services, it is a process. Addiction has been compared to a “contact sport”. Everyone participates and our services are committed to have the “Team” aka “The Family” as healthy as possible.
The Process for the Potential Client:
Pursuit of Recovery will work one on one with client, family, and the court to provide the following:
Initial Clinical Screening: After we determine through an initial screening if we can work together, I will schedule a detailed assessment as soon as possible. If the client is incarcerated, I will reach out to the facility to schedule a visit.
Detailed Assessment: When I have the detailed assessment, I will make a professional recommendation for treatment. That may be inpatient or outpatient. This will be based on multiple factors and not limited to client need for detox, dual diagnosis, health insurance and funding.
Treatment Admission and Follow Up: Once a client has started treatment, I will work with the treatment program to provide ongoing reports for the court system. (Updates as directed by courts and drug/alcohol random screening.)
Aftercare for up to 2 years: After the client has completed the Professional Recommended Treatment Plan, We will set up supervised random drug/alcohol screening for the length of time requested by courts. We will also adjust the treatment plan as needed with the growth of the client.
The Process for the Family:
Gather the “Team Players” (Family, friends and colleagues (if needed) and assess personal roles in the client’s life. Be open minded to making changes in your current relationship with the client.
Make a commitment to working with Pursuit of Recovery weekly for a minimum of 6 weeks. That may be face to face; or telehealth video.
Be teachable and most important, willing to change behaviors that instinctively may have enabled your loved one.
Please do not hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to see if our services fit your needs.
I have known and worked in a professional capacity with Amy Cooper, the founder of Pursuit of Recovery for over decade. As trial attorney of the state of Florida for over 20 years we have seen numerous cases where individuals run into legal troubles from one simple mistake such as a Driving under the Influence or more serious offenses that are a result of multiple brushes with the law due to addiction. Amy Cooper is a proven team player with a legal team attempting to present mitigating factors regarding individuals charged with a crime to allow the court to consider the real individual facing charges and their efforts to get their life back on track. Her services include identifying the type of help that is needed and preparing mitigation packages for the court’s consideration as well as the prosecutors involved. The collective effort and teamwork involved get results.
There are few rewards greater than observing a person’s life and family being restored as a result of the services such as those provided by ‘Pursuit of Recovery’. If you are an attorney or law firm looking for ways to assist your clients and find solutions than we strongly encourage you to enlist the services provided by Pursuit of Recovery. Many times identifying, locating and providing the services necessary to help the client are simply outside of an attorney’s wheelhouse. If you are an attorney or law firm looking for ways to assist your clients and find solutions then we strongly encourage you to enlist the services provided by Pursuit of Recovery to basically “Quarterback” your client’s recovery as well as be your ally in court.
