Allen² Law, LLCYour Legal Advocate |  | Family Law |  |
Attorneys Beth Allen and Sara Allen, sisters and founders of Allen² Law, LLC, work together with attorneys Beth Wolfsong, Michael Hallas, and Cynthia Barrett, to provide seamless solutions to the challenges facing gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender clients. With a focus on quality legal representation that respects the dignity of our clients, Allen² Law has become one of the most prominent law firms serving the GLBT community in the Pacific Northwest.
We understand the unique legal needs of our community and work hard to ensure those needs are addressed and our families protected. We invite you to learn more about our firm by scheduling a free ½ hour consultation.
Family Law
For GLBT families, the fast-changing social and legislative environment, and the potential for our Domestic Partnership relationships to be unrecognized in other states requires that we undertake more planning if we are to secure our rights and happiness. Allen² Law represents lesbian and gay couples in drafting legal documents to give structure to family relationships of marriage, parenting, and divorce; documents that stand the test of time-and the law. Contact us regarding:
- Gay divorce (dissolution of Domestic Partnerships), with property division, child custody and visitation
- Domestic partnership agreements
- Second-parent adoption
- Sperm donor and surrogate agreements
Estate Planning
GLBT families require more and benefit more from estate planning services because of the uneven legal protections provided for our families. While any lawyer can prepare a will or a trust, we are sensitive to the challenges that extended families may pose when trying to implement estate plans, as well as difficulties with legal recognition of property ownership or decision making authority when our clients cross state lines. Ask us about:
- Wills and trusts
- Advance medical directives and medical powers of attorney
- Property deeds and methods to transfer property
- Guardianship (including pre-birth guardianship)
Employment Law
Allen² Law attorneys provide legal counsel and compliance training to employers regarding their responsibilities under local, state and federal employment laws on such topics as wage and hour laws, disability accommodation and discrimination, family and medical leave, and discrimination and harassment.
Our firm, and particularly attorney Beth Allen, has been actively working to protect and promote the civil rights of the GLBT community for decades. Ms. Allen has won numerous awards for her work on behalf of the GLBT community, including her service on the executive committee of the Basic Rights Oregon legal group, and on the Diversity Committee of the Oregon State Bar.
Each of our lawyers is dedicated to helping youunderstand the law and how it can help you achieve your goals. We look forward to serving you and invite you to contact our law office to schedule a free initial consultation. Our office hours are 9 am to 5 pm. We are located on the waterfront, with easy access to the I-5 freeway.
