Families Navigating Transitions:
At Equity Law, LLC we understand that family law issues are deeply personal and can be especially acrimonious. We are here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your rights are protected and your voice is heard. Whether we are fighting for an equitable division of your marital estate or negotiating a parenting plan that prioritizes the best interests of your children, we strive to achieve equitable solutions while advocating for your family.
Name & Identity Changes:
As an LGBTQ+ owned and operated firm we specialize in helping trans, non-binary, and all LGBTQ+ people through the exciting process of obtaining a legal name change and guiding them through necessary identity change milestones that maximizes self-determination, prevents unintentional outing through background checks, and safeguards credit history. Our queer-focused culturally responsive legal services extend to LGBTQ+ parents, parents of LGBTQ+ children in divorce and custody proceedings, and LGBTQ+ survivors of stalking, domestic violence, and sexual assault seeking civil protective orders.
Safety Protective Orders:
Your safety and the safety of your loved ones is paramount. If you are facing threats, violence, or stalking our firm is here to help you obtain necessary and life-saving legal protections. We are experienced in handling cases involving domestic violence, harassment, and sexual assault and will provide you with trauma-informed support and advocacy that you need to secure an order of protection.
Real Estate:
Lastly, we assist folks in real estate transactions from the initial contract review, attorney approval, negotiations regarding home inspection issues, and title review. Our client-centered approach and open communication will provide professional legal guidance when buying and selling residential real estate.
