Funded by a grant awarded by the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, the program is designed to foster community safety and reduce drug-related offenses by providing supervised, participant- centered treatment and access to community support programs. “The state has made this possible,” Drug Court program coordinator Connie Morris said. “This is a good opportunity for these people, not only legally, but mainly to get clean and live a sober life.” Read More. |

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

There are a few lawyers who can take a case with bad facts and bad law and make it into something special. When you’re looking for that type of lawyer, it can be especially hard to find. Do you evaluate based on educational background? Number of accolades? Do you trust a referral from a friend? One lawyer may have done a good job for your friend, but that is because their situation was much different and the lawyer you need has a different focus. Do you look for a lawyer who is board certified in a particular field? If you are looking for a trusted Waco Local Counsel it is important to see what the people in that locality think of the lawyer’s services. Understanding the nuances of particular judges and local customs is critical in getting heard. There are few ways that it could pay off poorly to find the right lawyer for your case. That’s why it’s a safe bet to find the best people for your job.
