Mental Hygiene Legal Service, 2nd Judicial Department
The Mental Hygiene Legal Service (MHLS) is a New York State agency
responsible for representing, advocating and litigating on behalf of
individuals receiving services for a mental disability. We are a
dedicated legal advocacy program providing a broad range of protective
legal services and assistance to mentally disabled persons under the
care or jurisdiction of State-operated or licensed facilities. We also
provide representation and advocacy to sex offenders alleged to have
mental abnormalities making them likely to re-offend and are therefore
in need of civil confinement or intensive supervision.
