Same-Sex Marriage Legalized in New York
After New York passed a new piece of legislation entitled the Marriage Equality Act, same-sex couples are now granted the ability to obtain a legal marriage with the same state benefits, rights and obligations as opposite-sex couples. Since the Federal Government does not recognize same-sex marriages, couples are not entitled to federal benefits at this time. If you are a gay, lesbian, bisexual or transvestite individual or couple and you need qualified help with any legal issue related to family law, we would be happy to meet with you for a free consultation to see how we could help. If you need a lawyer to help protect your rights, we could offer you the legal assistance that you need.
