Mental Health Diversion Motion Draft
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a concise, professionally-crafted motion that persuades the court to place my criminal-defense client—diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder—into a statutory mental-health diversion program. I already have the psychological evaluation and supporting medical records on file; what I lack is the written advocacy that we will submit to the judge.
Your task is to turn the facts and records I supply into a complete filing that includes:
• A motion brief laying out the statutory framework for diversion and tying each legal element to my client’s history and diagnosis.
• A “Points and Authorities” section that cites controlling case law, recent appellate decisions, and any relevant legislative intent.
• A table of authorities (with page references) suitable for e-filing and easy judicial review.
I will provide the client’s background, charging documents, and medical documentation upon award. Please structure the argument so the court can quickly verify statutory eligibility, public-safety factors, and the nexus between treatment and reduced recidivism. If you have experience in California Penal Code §1001.36 or a comparable diversion statute, mention it; otherwise, strong research skills and clean legal writing are critical.
Deliver the finished motion in editable Word format, ready for my final signature and filing.
