In Memoriam

The Harriett Buhai Center and the legal services community lost a great leader when Jim Preis, Executive Director of Mental Health Advocacy Services, died on Friday, October 12, 2018. A vigorous public interest lawyer until the day he died, Jim represented some of the most vulnerable individuals in LA- those with mental disabilities who face discrimination, barriers and abuse in nearly every aspect of their lives. To honor Jim’s memory, we urge friends of the Harriett Buhai Center for Family Law to contribute to MHAS: http://mhas-la.org/2018-celebration-honoring-jim-preis/
