BERNSTEIN LAW GROUP MENTAL HEALTH LAW

BALANCING HEALTH & RIGHTS

Mental health law is a complex field that includes elder care law, disability law, criminal law and a number of other legal areas.

Mental illness can affect a number of areas in a person’s life, including their ability to:

  • Consent to medical procedures
  • Make decisions about their own finances and health
  • Make a valid will
  • Be considered criminally responsible for their actions

Stephen and Bob Bernstein are on the legal aid roster for Consent and Capacity Board matters. Their experience in this field is invaluable to clients seeking our help in mental health matters, whether they are seeking to dispute a capacity or consent decision or seeking help for mentally ill family members.

Our Services

Our lawyer has appeared several times before mental health tribunals on the Consent and Capacity Board of the Ontario Review Board. This board makes decisions regarding:

  • Consent to treatment
  • Substitute decision-making
  • Involuntary admissions
  • Community treatment orders

If you need to appear before the board, we can talk to you about what is facing you or your family. We will listen to the circumstances of your case and let you know what the law says about your situation. We will also discuss your options and represent you if necessary.
