Terri Tauro is a mental health and behavioral health attorney whose practice is devoted exclusively to Treatment Law℠ and criminal defense. She is a managing partner and cofounder of Blumen & Tauro. With nearly 20 years of litigation experience, she focuses on the intersection of behavioral health and criminal law, including LPS conservatorships, probate conservatorships (limited and general), mental health diversion, and mental health collaborative courts.
