At my law firm, I understand the unique legal challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. I aim to provide you with clear, accessible information about your rights and the legal services available to support you. Below, I have outlined the key areas where I can assist you. 

​

Adoption:

Navigating the adoption process can be complex, particularly for LGBTQ+ families  I provide legal guidance to help you understand the steps involved in adopting a child in New Jersey, ensuring that your application meets all legal requirements and that your family is recognized and protected under the law.

 

Discrimination:

Discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is still a reality for many. If you have faced discrimination at work, in housing, or public accommodations, I can help you through the complexities of the legal system. I am passionate about fighting against discrimination and will work tirelessly to hold perpetrators accountable. 

​

Divorce:

Divorce can be complicated, especially for LGBTQ+ couples who may face unique challenges relating to asset division, child custody, and spousal support. I understand the nuances of divorce in New Jersey and am here to advocate for your interests.

​

Employment Rights:

All employees have the right to work in an environment free from discrimination and harassment. If you believe you have been unjustly treated due to your sexual orientation or gender identity, I can help you explore your options for filing a complaint or taking legal action. 

​

Hate Crimes:

If you are a victim of a hate crime due to your sexual orientation or gender identity, it is crucial to know your legal rights. I can assist you in reporting these crimes to the authorities and pursue any necessary legal action to seek justice. 

​

Healthcare Access:

Access to healthcare is a critical issue for the LGBTQ+ community, especially for transgender individuals. If you encounter barriers to receiving appropriate health care, including coverage denials or discrimination by medical providers, I am here to support you in advocating for your rights. 

​

Name Changes:

Changing your name is an important step for many members of the LGBTQ+ community. Whether you are transitioning or simply want a name that better reflects your identity, I can guide you through the process of legally changing your name. I ensure all the necessary documentation is filed correctly, helping you navigate any court appearances, and handle potential objections. 

​

Pre-Birth Parentage:

For couples considering starting a family, understanding pre-birth parentage is vital. Whether you are using a surrogate, sperm donor, or egg donor, it is essential to establish legal parentage before your child is born. I can help draft and execute agreements that protect your rights as intended parents, ensuring that both partners are recognized and respected.

​

Post-Birth Parentage:

After the birth of a child, legal parentage must be established, especially in cases involving same-sex couples. I will assist in obtaining a declaratory judgment or a court order of parentage, helping you secure the parental rights you deserve. My firm is committed to ensuring that all parents are legally recognized regardless of their sexual orientation.
