If you are facing harassment, extortion, or other difficulties based on your sexual orientation or gender identity, you need a lawyer who understands LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) issues to best fight for your rights. Massachusetts has strong anti-discrimination laws, but laws and the reality of daily life are often at odds. For many individuals, reaching out to a lawyer is an intimidating experience, and even more so when discussing matters related to one’s own sexuality. As an out gay male and a board member of the Massachusetts LGBTQ Bar Association, I am able to offer a safe, judgment-free space to discuss your LGBTQ+ legal issues.
