California LGBT Parents Rights Attorney

You Are No Less Equal

In no other area of life does discrimination hurt more than when it affects family relationships. Even in San Francisco, LGBT parents can face challenges when it comes to equal treatment in courts, in schools, in healthcare, and in participation in community activities.

Your family deserves the same respect and legal protections that heterosexual families enjoy. Unfortunately, that sometimes means legal action to defend or define your rights. The Dolan Law Firm tackles civil rights cases for LGBT parents, children, and seniors.

• Has your employer unfairly denied you family and medical leave to care for a sick family member?
• Were you denied the reproductive health and fertility services that a heterosexual couple would have received?
• Were you denied access to your partner's child in the hospital?
• Has your child's school discriminated against your family because you are a lesbian or gay couple?
• Has your child been the victim of school bullying because he or she is gay or has gay parents?
