Our attorneys can help our transgender and gender non-conforming clients navigate the complicated process of seeking a legal name change.
We guide and advocate for transgender adults and the parents of transgender minors through the often-confusing maze of laws and administrative regulations to obtain legal name changes or gender changes. In Pennsylvania or New Jersey, our attorneys are excited to help with this important step in someone’s transition.
We can also help our clients to update their name and gender designations on birth certificates, social security cards, driver’s licenses, passports, and other identification documents.
Because the legal issues and challenges facing transgender and gender non-conforming persons are at the cutting edge of the law and constantly changing, it is important for these individuals to obtain knowledgeable, committed legal advocates. The attorneys of Jerner Law Group, P.C. are at the forefront of finding creative, effective solutions to the legal hurdles clients face before, during, and after their transition.
Jerner Law Group, P.C. can also provide LGBTQ+ clients with advice and representation regarding marriage validity, divorce, estate planning, adoption, assisted reproduction law, child custody, and amending vital records.
