Substance Abuse Evaluation Included

Many California criminal charges involve alcohol and/or drugs, but few criminal defense firms include an evaluation by a nationally renowned substance-abuse expert in their fee. However, The Kavinoky Law Firm includes an evaluation and court appearance by Dan Cronin from Assessment Intervention Resources in its retainer on cases involving alcohol or drugs.

AIR president and founder Dan Cronin is a licensed alcohol and drug counselor who developed a unique care-management model with a psychologist and a psychiatrist for individuals suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction.

AIR's treatment model is so effective that organizations including the National Hockey League, Major League Soccer and numerous public corporations in the United States and Canada choose AIR as their care management provider for drug and alcohol problems.

Not everyone arrested for an alcohol- or drug-related offense has a substance-abuse problem, but many individuals do. An assessment by substance-abuse expert Dan Cronin can benefit both those with a problem with alcohol or drugs and those who arent impacted by addiction issues.

For example, if an individual arrested for California DUI receives a substance-abuse evaluation that indicates that the driver could benefit from treatment, that may go a long way toward persuading a judge to send that individual to rehabilitation rather than jail.

However, a substance-abuse evaluation that indicates that an individual accused of a narcotics-related offense merely exercised poor judgment rather than having a drug problem, that recommendation may persuade the court to treat the defendant more leniently because it indicates that the individual is less likely to reoffend.

In many California criminal cases, the contribution of a nationally known substance abuse expert can make the difference in your defense, and The Kavinoky Law Firm includes an evaluation by substance-abuse expert Dan Cronin in its fee.
