Mental Health Advocacy

New Jersey Mental Health Advocates

Sometimes there is a strong connection between legal problems and mental health issues. At Ramp, Renaud and Hlavenka, LLC in East Brunswick, New Jersey, we work with clients and their families to help address the situations in their lives through mental health advocacy while getting the best possible results in court.

At our law firm, attorney Ann L. Renaud serves as a mental health advocate for our clients. As lawyers who practice with understanding and compassion, we have legal knowledge and emotional understanding of clients who face unique challenges, like a diagnosis of alcoholism, drug addiction, schizophrenia, depression, autism or bipolar disorder. We are aware of the obstacles that many face and we work closely with them to help them overcome these obstacles — legal and situational — in their lives. We frequently represent incapacitated persons in guardianship proceedings in probate court.
