Follow on Google News | Amanda Bynes 5150 Involuntary HoldCelebrities have been placed on 5150 involuntary holds, however the consequences can be much more severe for a normal person. Finding a lawyer to get a 5150 expunged can be extremely difficult.
By: RepresentYou.com In July, Bynes was hospitalized on a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold after she started a small fire in a resident's driveway in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The night before, Bynes was involved in an serious altercation with a cab driver and the police in a retirement community. Bynes’ three-day hold was extended to two weeks to allow doctors to properly diagnose her. The hold was later extended to 30 days. A 5150 involuntary hold (http://www.representyou.com/ If Amanda Bynes was a mother, teacher, police officer, lawyer or businesswoman the consequences could be much worse. She could lose her job, child custody (http://www.representyou.com/ With the potentially devastating effects this hold can have on someone’s life, finding a good attorney may make all the difference. Many people who have had a 5150 look to get it legally removed from their record. After doing an extensive search through the phonebook, yellow pages, legal directories, I did not find a lawyer who had experience practicing this. The only one was a State Bar of California certified lawyer referral service, RepresentYou. I spoke with the COO Gabe Dominocielo who stated: “finding a good and experienced lawyer for a 5150 is difficult and very expensive.” Doiminocielo would not quote a retainer but went on to say: “It is not like doing a DUI expungement, in some cases one of our lawyers may need to do a writ of habeas corpus, which is very time consuming.” For the average person the consequences of a 5150 would be much more costly, professionally and legally. “RepresentYou.com has a panel of competent attorneys, all of whom have a minimum of 20 years practicing law, with trial-tested experience handling 5150, 5250, 5270, and 5260 involuntary hold expungements.” End
