O’Melveny Represents Clients Seeking Transgender Name Changes

O’Melveny lawyers represent transgender individuals in legal name-change cases across the country, guiding clients through this emotional and meaningful process. Obtaining a legal name change is essential for transgender clients so they can access essential services and move safely through their day-to-day lives.

While a name change can carry huge emotional significance, it can also be a vital safety measure because transgender individuals can be subject to discrimination—or even violence—when their legal identification does not match their identity.

The name-change process in many states can be intimidating and typically requires a court’s approval, so having legal representation is critical for many transgender individuals.
