Name & Gender Marker Changes
Your Advocate for Name and Gender Marker Changes
Navigating the legal process of changing your name or gender marker can be a crucial step in affirming your identity. Whether you simply want to use a new name or identify differently from the gender you were assigned at birth, everyone deserves to have the identity they choose.
As a dedicated attorney in New York, I help clients through these important changes with compassion and expertise.
Understanding the Gender Recognition Act
The Gender Recognition Act provides clear pathways for individuals to change their names and gender markers on legal documents. This law affirms your rights and simplifies the process, but having a knowledgeable attorney by your side can make it even smoother.
