Involuntary Treatment Placements from all Sides with Richard Casey and Craig Robinson
Episode 56
Monday, 10 November, 2025
On this episode of the Good Counsel Podcast, host Eric Bricker sits down with attorneys Craig Robinson and Richard Casey to break down the Baker Act, the Marchman Act, and civil commitments in plain language. We talk through due process and rights, how assessments work, why counties handle cases differently, and the high burden of proof for Marchman cases. Craig and Richard share their behavioral health backgrounds, why they see their firm as part of the treatment team, and how law enforcement and clinicians can initiate help. We also dig into the bigger policy debate around institutionalization, community care, and safeguards that keep involuntary treatment from being abused. If you support someone struggling with mental health or substance use, this conversation gives you clear next steps and questions to ask.
