How an Attorney at Claery & Green Can Help

Because California does not recognize gay and lesbian marriages, same-sex partners are very limited in the rights, benefits and protections they receive from the state. For this reason, it's very important for anyone in a committed same-sex relationship to be proactive and take the necessary steps to ensure their rights are protected. Unfortunately the law is not automatically on your side, but that doesn't mean there aren't ways you can ensure you and your partner are legally protected. An experienced domestic partnership attorney at Claery & Green can help you take initiative by drawing up the necessary paperwork and advocating your rights at any and all legal hearings or proceedings.

At Claery & Green, we are very passionate about helping same-sex partners throughout Los Angeles and Southern California, and have represented clients in all stages of life. Some of our clients are ready to register their domestic partnership with state, while others are interested in terminating or dissolving their partnership. We've also represented gay and lesbian clients in matters involving in child custody and visitation, adoption, palimony, estate planning and more. We are not just limited to one area of domestic partnership law, but on the contrary strive to provide a comprehensive range of services so we can better serve all our clientele.
