Pioneers in LGBTQ+ Family Law in Alabama
Our firm proudly stands with the LGBTQ+ community. Founding attorney Christine C. Hernandez helped lead a landmark adoption case that contributed to overturning Alabama’s marriage ban in 2015. This work, featured in the documentary Alabama Bound, exemplifies our firm’s dedication to breaking legal barriers and protecting all families.
We help LGBTQ+ clients with:
- Divorce and custody
- Adoption
- Name and gender marker changes (birth certificates, driver’s licenses)
- Legal consultation during gender reassignment
We’re not just inclusive—we’re trailblazers in this space.
When Mediation Works—and When Litigation is Necessary
Not all family disputes need to end up in court. Our team includes experienced mediators who guide clients toward collaborative solutions whenever possible. But when your rights or your children’s well-being are at stake, we are trial-ready and unafraid to litigate.
We’re strategic. We’re tenacious. We know the Alabama courts—and we use that knowledge to serve you.
