Parents & Addicts in Need’s Founder Flindt Andersen and Jason LaChance sat-down with Attorney Shanna Hesketh, we discuss the tragic loss of her brother who was shot and killed. The trauma that her family experienced from his murder as well as his addiction and substance abuse issues. She also shares insight into the traumas, mental health and addiction issues that those who work in the criminal court system often face as well as the clientele.
As Shanna states, she's always known that she wanted to be a lawyer, but a series of traumatic events shaped her career in ways that she never could have imagined. As a victim in both a criminal case and personal injury cases, she's experienced firsthand just how overwhelming and difficult it can be to navigate the California justice system.
The court system is traumatic. No one ever hires a lawyer because they’re having a great day. Whether it’s an injury or an arrest that lands you in the court system, she has made it her mission to help others navigate these trying situations.
