GLBT Representation

Jacksonville Gay and Lesbian Family Attorney

As a gay-friendly firm heavily involved in the gay community, we are uniquely qualified to handle the legal matters of the GLBT community. A gay and lesbian family experiences quite the same legal matters as a heterosexual family--yet the rights for a gay and lesbian family are not as clear or defined. Our firm can help you, your partner, and your family with a full range of legal issues. This includes estate planning, domestic partnership agreements, and GLBT employment law.

Do you have questions related to gay and lesbian family law issues? Please contact a lawyer from the law office of Gordon T. Nicol today. We can begin discussing your rights and options and find a legal solution that works for you.

Estate Planning for the GLBT Community

We help gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender clients interested in estate planning tools such as wills, trusts, guardianships, and powers of attorney. Certain directives can ensure you and your partner have legal rights to make healthcare decisions, manage financial affairs, and ensure property and assets are distributed to your partner. If a person in Florida dies without a will, property and assets will be distributed to biological family members--not to his or her partner. We can establish directives to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

Domestic Partnership Agreements

We help same-sex couples establish domestic partnership agreements. Domestic partnership agreements can include issues such as property division and support in the event the relationship dissolves. Domestic partnership agreements cannot include issues involving biological or adopted children of one of the partners.

GLBT Employment Law

We can review employment contracts and ensure you are working in a healthy environment. We also bring forward complaints of sexual orientation discrimination.

The above are just some of the issues we can help you with. Please contact us today to learn more.
