How can i get my girlfriend out of baker act?

In my experience, the doctors who evaluate persons held under the Baker Act do a decent job. If she is not mentally ill to the point where she is a danger to herself or others, she should be released at the end of the 72 hour observation period. An attorney from the Public Defender's Office represents those people who cannot afford their own attorney and who are being involuntarily committed against their will.
