Peter V. Mandi & Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce that Attorney Peter V. Mandi has completed training to become a Soberlink-Trained Family Law Professional. Our firm has also been added to Soberlink’s Attorney Map, which helps individuals and families locate family law professionals who are trained in the use of reliable remote alcohol monitoring.
What Is Soberlink Alcohol Monitoring?
Soberlink is a remote alcohol monitoring system designed specifically for situations in which a person may need to document their sobriety. Its portable breath-testing devices use facial recognition technology to confirm the identity of the person taking each test. Results are then transmitted wirelessly to designated recipients, potentially including parents, attorneys, and other authorized individuals.
The system can provide time-stamped test results, real-time notifications, tamper detection, and organized reports. Depending on the circumstances, testing may be scheduled only during parenting time or conducted daily as part of a more consistent monitoring arrangement.
How Can This Training Benefit Our Family Law Clients?
Questions or allegations involving alcohol use can make an already stressful custody matter even more complicated. One parent may have legitimate concerns about a child’s safety, while the other may need a dependable way to demonstrate sobriety and respond to accusations.
As a Soberlink-Trained Family Law Professional, Attorney Peter V. Mandi has a stronger understanding of how this technology works and how alcohol monitoring may be incorporated into appropriate custody arrangements, parenting plans, negotiations, or court proceedings. This training can help our firm better evaluate monitoring options, explain the process to clients, and address the resulting documentation within the larger context of a family law case.
Every family’s circumstances are different, and alcohol monitoring will not be necessary or appropriate in every matter. However, when alcohol use becomes an issue in a custody or parenting-time dispute, access to clear information can help everyone involved make more informed decisions.
If you have questions about alcohol monitoring or another New York family law matter, contact Peter V. Mandi & Associates, Inc. today for a consultation.
