LGBT Rights

Many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals and couples encounter legal problems, issues and questions in their lives that are unique to their sexual orientation or gender identity. Other times, LGBT persons prefer to discuss their legal needs that might not be LGBT-specific with an attorney who understands and can relate to their status. In either case, we have the knowledge and experience and inside knowledge to answer your questions and help you in many areas.

The legal landscape for LGBT persons changes constantly and some legal issues affecting LGBT individuals and couples change almost daily. Some of these legal issues include the following:

• Estate planning (including wills, powers of attorney, living wills)
• Real estate purchases
• Adoptions
• Family relations (including marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships)
• Employment discrimination because of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, HIV status, familial status
• Relationship recognition throughout the United States and around the world
• Identity documents and health care for transgender persons

Contact our office with any questions you may have and to make an appointment
to discuss your needs.
