family member attempted suicide. Being held at local hospital in Duluth, GA. Spouse has not been able to get any information on what options she has or next step in process. Should spouse contact a lawyer and if so, what type?
Answer
Yes, she needs to hire counsel IMMEDIATELY
Counsel will be able to determine if initial 72-hour commitment process correctly done, if and when any hearings were involved in any commitment processes, if there were any due process violations, if her husband's long-term commitment has already started, if any court of competent jurisdiction ordered same, etc., etc
Good luck
