Rossen Law Firm Defends Young Man in High-Profile Attempted Murder Case Linked to Mental Health Crisis

The legal team, led by Krista Richman and Susan Lawson, commits to a thorough investigation and a defense centered around mental health complexities, asserting their client's actions stemmed from a severe mental health episode.

Rossen Law Firm currently represents a young man in a significant legal case recently highlighted by the Miami Herald. Lawyer Krista Richman, alongside her colleague Susan Lawson, is managing the defense for our client, who faces serious charges, including attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

According to the Herald, the incident involved our client allegedly attacking his parents after using THC via a vape pen. The situation escalated, resulting in severe injuries to both parents. In light of these events, Rossen Law Firm has issued a statement emphasizing its commitment to thoroughly investigating the circumstances that occurred that evening. The firm has noted that the behavior exhibited by our client is believed to be the result of a mental health crisis, highlighting a defense that incorporates significant aspects of mental health and criminal law.

Krista Richman stated, “This is a tough time for our client's family. We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the circumstances that unfolded that night. The entire family stands by our client, and we are confident that this very unfortunate incident was the result of a mental health crisis. We look forward to defending our client and working with his family.”

This case underscores Rossen Law Firm's commitment to providing robust legal representation, especially in complex cases that involve nuanced legal and personal issues. Their approach focuses on a comprehensive defense strategy and a compassionate understanding of their clients' situations.
