Sometimes the help you may need is more than you can handle alone and requires the help assistance of an attorney. When Tennesseans living with disabilities and/or mental illness need legal representation, DRT may be able to help.
Sometimes protecting your rights requires legal action. We provide free legal support to Tennesseans with disabilities and mental illness.
We help with education, policy input, and legal advocacy to ensure individuals receive the rights and services they deserve.
– Training and educating the community
– Collaborating directly with partners in the community
– Bringing impact litigation on behalf of systemic issues
– Giving input into disability-related policies
– Providing technical assistance to other legal professionals
In situations involving facilities, workplaces, schools, and more, we do our best to provide the legal help that is needed. Our goal is to ensure all Tennesseans living with disabilities and/or mental illness receive the resources and access they need to live free from abuse and neglect. For us, the status quo is never enough.
*If DRT cannot provide direct legal support, we will try to connect you to someone who may.
