LGBT Family Law
LGBT Family Law Attorney in Boca Raton — Dedicated to helping all clients achieve their goals within the appropriate legal framework.
On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court issued a monumental ruling: all fifty states now have Marriage Equality. This was great news, because now all laws regarding marriage and divorce apply to all married couples equally — whether same-sex or opposite-sex. However, for those who married in states other than Florida, or who obtained civil unions or domestic partnerships and then later separated, the Supreme Court's ruling raises questions.
Barbra is dedicated to helping all clients achieve their goals within the appropriate legal framework, even when it takes extra work and creativity. Barbra also works with adults in domestic partnerships and other relationships who need to protect their rights.

Property Division
Barbra structures advice and guidance to help clients understand the economic ramifications of the choices they have with divorce asset protection and property division.
Same-Sex Marriage

Estate Planning
LGBT couples have the right to protect their assets and plan for their future. Barbra helps clients navigate estate planning matters with the same care and expertise brought to all family law matters.
