LEGAL RESOURCES
A guide to attorneys specializing in assisted treatment
In an effort to bridge the gap between those who are suffering from mental illness and those who can provide assistance, TAC created an attorney directory in response to the urgings of countless friends and family members who have called our office for help understanding state assisted treatment laws. Our hope is that the directory will be an invaluable resource in the battle to get help and understanding for those who suffer from mental illness.
Disclaimer: The Treatment Advocacy Center does not directly or indirectly warrant the qualifications or experience of any attorneys listed in this directory. The directory is meant as a resource or guide in locating an attorney. Although we have made every attempt to verify the information in this database, we cannot ensure its accuracy. As with any such listing, we encourage users to independently verify the qualifications of the individual before employing their services.
How do I search the database?
You can search by any of the fields listed - we recommend that you first
search only by state.
How do I contact an attorney?
All listings have contact information - some just phone numbers and
addresses, others will also have email addresses and web sites.
My state isn't listed.
If your state is not listed, that means that no attorneys from your
state are in our database yet. Check with your local NAMI affiliate for assistance.

I called an attorney who is listed and there is a mistake in his entry. We update the database regularly - send us an email with the correction and we will contact the attorney and make any necessary changes.
I used a great attorney who is not listed. How do I let you know about her? Ask attorneys who you believe belong in the database to apply online.
Why did you create this database?
The Treatment Advocacy Center was organized as a nonprofit organization
dedicated to eliminating the legal and clinical barriers preventing
timely and humane treatment of those who suffer from severe mental
illness and are not receiving appropriate medical care. Unfortunately,
for those who are currently embroiled in the battle to get help for a
loved-one, changing the laws may seem like a "too little, too late"
proposition. But you should not have to be alone when you fight the
battle to get treatment for someone with a mental illness. A qualified
attorney can be instrumental in guiding you through the legal maze
surrounding mental illness laws.
In an effort to bridge the gap between those who are suffering from mental illness and those who can provide assistance, TAC is compiling an Attorney Directory. Our efforts to compile the directory come in response to the urgings of countless friends and family members who have called our office for help understanding state assisted treatment laws. Our hope is that the directory will be an invaluable resource in the battle to get help and understanding for those who suffer from mental illness.
