Williamson County’s Post

I have been asked on so many occasions what I enjoy most about my job. It is, without a doubt, my work with the Mental Health Court. I have seen so many men and women overcome tremendous obstacles and finally beat decades long addictions, get their mental health stabilized, get their medical needs addressed, get an education, find stable employment and a stable living environment. I have seen the tremendous difference it makes when you take the time to look at the people before you and provide a holistic approach to ending the cycle of recidivism and the positive impact it has on their families and our community at large. According to Michigan's 2023 Financial Year report for Problem Solving Courts, FY 2023 adult drug court graduates were 4 times less likely, sobriety court graduates were more than 3 times less likely, and hybrid court graduates were nearly 3 times less likely to be convicted of a new offense within three years of admission to a program. In FY 2023, mental health court (MHC) graduates were far less likely to commit another crime. On average, MHC graduates (adult circuit, adult district) were around 2 times less likely to commit another crime within three years of admission to a program. Also, unemployment among adult circuit MHC graduates dropped by 88 percent. I look forward to many more years of this service.

Why do you wait hours in some courtrooms and only minutes in others? The system has many bottlenecks that can create all sorts of delays, but often, it is the judge who can improve efficiency without sacrificing justice. Judge's should be hustling just like the rest of us and fortunately, many do (at least, here in Central Florida, maybe not so in other parts of Florida?) The Law Office of John Guidry, P.A.

I have been advocating for fairness and justice. We have to approach issues with objectivity and fairly condemn all wrongs. This one highlights one key point-law and justice are not blind. https://lnkd.in/gURV_5nN
