Estate Planning
If you're a parent or loved one of someone with mental health issues, you may wish to provide for their future after you're gone. Casey can assist you in creating a will to support your loved one. Beyond leaving them your assets, you might consider setting up a trust to ensure their ongoing needs are met if they can't manage on their own. If your loved one gets Social Security benefits, special care is needed to avoid impacting their benefits with any inheritance. Casey will support you through this intricate process with care and knowledge.
Health Insurance Claims
Despite recent laws prohibiting the discrimination of behavioral health claims, insurance companies often still deny claims for mental health treatment. If you are having trouble getting your insurer to pay for your treatment, Casey Fos will fight to make them live up to their insurance agreement. He understands the intricacies of health insurance law and will ensure that you receive the coverage you are entitled to.
Employment Law
Employers are required to offer “reasonable accommodations” to people with health conditions. If you believe you are not being treated fairly at work, you may be entitled to reasonable accommodations from your employer. If you think you are being treated unfairly, let’s talk to see if you can get the assistance you are entitled to by law. Casey Fos will stand by your side to ensure your rights are protected in the workplace.
Social Security Disability Benefits
Certain individuals with mental health issues may struggle to leave their homes or hold a job, despite possible adjustments. If you face challenges due to mental health, you might qualify for Social Security aid. Casey can assist with the complex rules to secure the support you deserve.
Interdictions, Commitments, Guardianships
As painful as it might be, sometimes we have to intercede in the lives of our loved ones because they are no longer able to make decisions for themselves.
Casey Fos can help you navigate the complex legal process of interdictions, commitments, and guardianships to ensure that your loved one is protected and receives the care they need. His compassionate approach will help ease the burden during these challenging times.
Criminal Law
Behavioral health problems often have a bad reputation because of a fear of crime. But, individuals with mental health issues are more likely to be crime victims than criminals. If you're facing criminal charges related to your condition, there are alternatives to jail, like specialty courts in Louisiana. Casey can assist you in qualifying for these programs, guiding you through the process to avoid jail and receive the necessary support to improve your life. His dedication goes beyond legal help; he is genuinely invested in your recovery and future.
