Understanding and Protecting Your Legal Rights
There are a number of state and federal laws that protect gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people from discrimination in the workplace, when renting an apartment, applying to school, or seeking medical treatment. Additionally, when gays, lesbians, or transgendered people are harassed or assaulted for who they are, hate crime legislation may apply.
In the area of family law, gays, lesbians, and transgendered people now have a number of legal options available to them that afford them the same rights as heterosexual couples when it comes to child custody rights, estate planning, and medical coverage. At the Dolan Law Firm, our Oakland LGBT / civil rights attorneys work with individuals, couples, and businesses in asserting and protecting rights in the workplace, economy, and neighborhoods of gay and lesbian people.

Problems with an Employer? Contact Our Oakland Gay Rights Attorneys
Today, discrimination in the workplace is often subtle. An employer may not directly make derogatory remarks or stigmatize a gay, lesbian, transgendered employee; rather, in most cases, discrimination comes in the form of different treatment. If you've been denied a promotion or have been treated differently than other coworkers when it comes to FMLA or other benefits, contact Oakland LGBT rights attorneys at the Dolan Law Firm. We can review an employer's hiring and firing records and look for patterns of behavior that are indicative of discrimination against gays, lesbians, and transgendered people.
