Gay & Lesbian Family Law in Dallas, TX
Experienced Legal Counsel for Same-Sex Family Law Matters
The national perspective on same-sex marriage continues to change as advocates
and supporters have won significant, legislative victories in several
states. In June 2015, The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution
guarantees the right to marriage for all Americans, effectively legalizing
same-sex marriage nationwide.
Attorney Michelle May O'Neil has been a staunch supporter of gay and lesbian rights since the beginning of her career and was the first attorney to win a case in a Texas appellate court granting standing to sue for a non-biological parent. Our entire time continues to exemplify that same dedication and advocacy for the gay and lesbian community, especially now that their marriage rights have finally been recognized nationwide.
