Veterans' Issues Lawyer in Portland, Oregon
Returning from war can be an extremely difficult and emotionally challenging situation for veterans. Many individuals, especially those with heavy combat experience, may find themselves struggling with a range of legal, emotional and physical issues as they attempt to adjust to life back in the states.
I strive to help veterans deal with the legal issues that may impede their return to a civilian life. I have access to an extensive network of resources, including many experts, when helping veterans seek a resolution to their cases.
I have defended the rights of veterans charged with a range of serious crimes including:
- Murder
- Drug and alcohol violations (drug crimes, DUI)
- Domestic violence
- Violent crimes
- Trespassing
PTSD and Emotional Problems
In many legal situations involving veterans, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression and a host of other emotional issues could be playing a role. In these cases, it is important to involve psychologists and other mental health experts that can testify to how the psychological and physical strains of war and the resulting emotional issues may have played a role in the alleged crimes.
Veterans facing criminal charges or other veterans' affairs matters need experienced representation. I have extensive knowledge and insight into veterans' affairs, having handled numerous cases for veterans throughout my many years of practice. With the new wave of returning veterans from our current wars, I am dedicated to providing the legal representation veterans need and deserve.
If you are a veteran and have questions about a pending legal matter or other veterans' affairs issues, I can help. Contact me, attorney Kathleen E. Bergland, for a free initial consultation. I am a dedicated and aggressive advocate for the rights of veterans.
Free consultations. Available evenings and weekends by appointment.
