00:18
accomplishment you've had a lot more
00:19
questions about it right
00:20
since all this happened oh right
00:22
non-stop yeah people have come up to me
00:24
i've you know lawyers are kind of bad
00:26
we're like doctors at a cocktail party
00:28
right
00:28
if you tell somebody you're a doctor at
00:30
a cocktail party the first thing you do
00:31
is you want to say can you look at
00:32
something
00:34
lawyers are kind of the same way um you
00:37
know when you when you're at a cocktail
00:38
party or somebody and they never
00:40
worry about what kind of lawyer you are
00:42
you're right you know the first thing
00:43
you get is tell me what's going on about
00:44
this
00:45
so this is the new one obviously when
00:47
somebody hears that we're in and I'm an
00:48
attorney or that I do
00:49
you know probators people that know me
00:51
come up to me what in the heck is this
00:53
deal with britney spears
00:55
and uh you know it's good it it uh it
00:58
started a conversation about
01:00
you know what we should do with with uh
01:03
these situations and
01:04
and it's also helping talk about the
01:07
perspective on mental health and mental
01:09
health conservatorships and
01:11
guardianships because we do see those
01:13
we have people that have to go to
01:14
ridgeview
01:16
and you know they may need a short-term
01:18
conservatorship or guardianship
01:21
and usually that's a parent child right
01:23
we've got a
01:24
child who's struggled with addiction or
01:26
mental health issues and the parent is
01:28
having to put them under a guardianship
01:30
or conservatorship
01:31
to help get them the help that they need
01:33
and help monitor that
01:34
that situation and kind of protect them
01:36
from themselves because they are
01:38
off their medication or they're you know
01:41
making decisions that are
01:42
that are not good for themselves or you
01:44
know they don't understand
01:45
their their if they're truly in a
01:47
psychotic episode they don't understand
01:50
they're deluded they're paranoid they're
01:52
in a schizophrenic state
01:53
a manic state they don't understand
01:56
their money they don't understand their
01:57
assets
01:58
they don't understand what they're doing
02:00
uh in those states quite often though I
02:02
mean they'll do manic things because
02:04
they
02:04
you know they'll buy a car because some
02:06
voice told them to and
02:08
those really sad situations with parents
02:10
and
02:11
i think a lot of we see a lot of cases
02:13
where parents have struggled through
02:15
that
02:17
trying to manage it without the
02:20
intervention of the courts without the
02:22
intervention and it's
02:23
it's very difficult very difficult and
02:25
very heartbreaking
02:26
and you know the parents struggling with
02:28
when to help and when to give up and and
02:29
we see that time and time again
02:31
and they don't think of the the
02:34
guardianship conservatorship route
02:37
as a solution because they in our heads
02:39
that's for grandma
02:40
right yeah and so they need to
02:42
understand that that can be an
02:44
avenue as well to help
02:47
gain control and and get that person in
02:50
a situation where
02:52
and and if if the britney case proves
02:54
out to be an example
02:55
it's one where maybe the person gets the
02:58
help they need
03:00
their assets get secured you know they
03:03
want and then when they
03:04
regain their mental capacity and regain
03:06
an understanding that transitions back
03:08
away from the guardianship and
03:09
conservatorship
03:10
to back to the to them so you know it'll
03:13
be an
03:14
interesting thing to follow in that
03:15
regard and see if the conversation
03:17
nationally
03:18
you know works in that direction
03:33
