Committed to LGBTQ+ Equality in Law

Federal & State Civil Rights Representation

Family Law

This can include but is not limited to adoptions, divorces, paternity actions, protection from abuse or stalking/orders of protection.

Power of Attorney

Queer folks often times have chosen family whom they trust more than their biological. It’s important to have your financial and medical power of attorneys set-up in case of your incapacitation so the right person is making decisions for you.

Gender Marker and Name Changes

Missouri requires a court order to change your gender marker on official documents, which we are well versed in. Both states also require a court order to change your name.

Educational Discrimination
under Title IX and state law

Title IX also prohibits gender-based discrimination if students are harassed by other students, employees, or third parties within the school context for failing to conform to sex-based stereotypes as long as such conduct creates a hostile environment for the student.

Employment Discrimination
Title VII and state law

Title VII also makes it unlawful to use policies or practices that seem neutral but have the effect of discriminating against people because of their race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity), or national origin.
