We can’t do it alone! We unfortunately can not take every case. When appropriate, we try to connect individuals with the Massachusetts’ legal services community. You can do this yourself using the Massachusetts Legal Resource Finder or Mass Legal Services If you have a legal issue outside of Massachusetts, go to the National Disability Rights Network website to find your state’s P&A/CAP (protection and advocacy and client assistance programs).
We’d like to take a moment to thank all of our dedicated interns, volunteers and experts over the years who have helped us ensure that the information in our publications is updated as laws and regulations change. If you find something that is incorrect or needs clarification, please contact Abigail Selter at aselter@mhlac.org .
