Our goal is to ensure as many rights as possible for you and your partner. Using a wide range of documents, we want to provide you with as much protection as possible under the law. We pursue legal remedies to provide you with the utmost in legal protections, including:

  • Relationship contracts: Akin to prenuptial agreements, you will have an enforceable contract regarding the division of assets, including real estate, in the event of a dissolution of your partnership.
       
  • Child custody and support: If you and your partner have a child, we can help you come up with a plan that works in your child's best interests upon your relationship's end.
      
  • Estate planning: We will draft deeds of property that acknowledge you as a couple, as well as create health care power of attorneys, financial power of attorney, last will and testament, living wills, family trusts and funeral planning directives.
       
  • Probate/estate administration: With over a decade of experience guiding people through filing to the final distribution, we can help you through this process.
       
  • Guardianships: We help LGBT couples establish pre-appointed guardianships that can become effective upon the illness or incapacitation. We also assist in on-going requirements, such as annual accounting for income and expenses.
       
  • Divorce/dissolution: Regardless of whether or not you have a relationship contract in place, we can represent either party in the event of a dissolution.
       
  • Discrimination: If you believe that you have been dismissed, not hired, or treated unfairly or unequally because of your sexual orientation or gender identity, we are here to protect your rights. Working closely with the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights, we advocate for fair compensation in situations of employment and housing discrimination.
