The criminal team at The Gage Law Firm also provides specialized representation in criminal cases involving mental health and mental illness. Symptoms of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression can often be mistaken by law enforcement as criminal acts. At The Gage Law Firm, we have years of experience handling cases specifically involving mental illness, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. We offer a unique level of representation with a personal knowledge of what it means to struggle with a mental illness. The Gage Law Firm has the tools and experience to address the needs of our mentally ill clients and to guide them through a criminal justice system that is often ignorant of the struggles that come with mental illness.
