Free Law Services Provided to An Army Veteran Suffering From PTSD

Everyone needs a helping hand now and then. Learn how two kind lawyers extended services to someone who hit a rough patch.

Las Vegas, NV (I-Newswire) October 15, 2012 - In many people’s eyes, lawyers are seen as heroes. Although this does not hold true to all cases, it was more than accurate in one of Gabriel L. Grasso and Brian J. Smith’s most recent trials. Local war veteran, John Randell diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) recently suffered from an incident. Once word of the event hit the news, Grasso and Smith stepped up to smooth over the situation. These 2 trusted, well-known Las Vegas attorneys settled John Randell’s case free of charge due to his service to the citizens of the United States of America.

On August 24, 2011 the initial episode took place in Pahrump, Nevada later landing in the Pahrump Justice Court on June 26, 2012. Although reporters cannot be exact on every detail, John Randell was reported to have pulled a gun on his wife, a customer at a gas station and even on himself with threats of suicide. His behavior was later closely associated with PTSD since Randell spent ample time in both Iraq and Afghanistan while serving in the United States Army.

Leading attorney Gabriel L. Grasso is a nationally recognized criminal defense trial lawyer who is best known for his role as local counsel in the O.J. Simpson robbery trial. He actively practices in the southern states of Nevada and Florida. In regards to the Randell case Grasso stated, “It's a privilege to be able to extend a helping hand to John Radell. He is a true hero in our eyes. Mr. Smith and I both feel that law enforcement and the criminal justice system in southern Nevada are poorly equipped to deal with the issue of returning combat veterans who suffer from PTSD. The resources available to help these people are few and far between.”
