Carol Robles-Román, a brainy and determined lawyer from a Puerto Rican family who as a top official in Mayor Mike Bloomberg’s administration made New York City’s legal system more accessible, died Sunday at a Westchester hospital. She was 60.
The cause was lung cancer, said her sister Frances Robles.
Robles-Román, who was raised in Brooklyn and Queens, served for more than a decade as Bloomberg’s deputy mayor for legal affairs and counsel, a role in which she oversaw more than a dozen agencies and helped launch the city’s Family Justice Centers, which provide free services for victims of domestic violence.
