Question:

My state bar has an assistance program for attorneys with substance abuse and mental health issues. It is completely confidential for the attorney with the problem and the person reporting the attorney.

The program is preventative in nature and would not involve any disciplinary action. Further, if the people in the program think the attorney has a problem, even if the attorney does not, they can require him to seek some treatment.

Just something I am considering. I know you all have been telling me I cannot fix H. The only involvement I would have would be to make the phone call, then, they exclude me.

Thoughts?
