The Smith Law Group has proudly provided legal counsel and support to members of the Riverside and Orange County LGBT communities for over 30 years. At our law firm, we understand as a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender member of the community, you may have questions or concerns regarding family law related issues, and we are here to help!
Our law firm is committed to providing exceptional, compassionate, and caring professional family law related legal services. The attorneys at The Smith Law Group are well respected in Riverside and its surrounding communities, and Orange County. Both Debra Smith and William Smith are very familiar with the local courts, judges, and mediators, as well as their ever changing policies and procedures.
When contemplating divorce, dealing with a custody issue, or any other family law matter, it is absolutely critical to have a strong, experienced attorney on your side. We have a proven track record of protecting and preserving our clients’ rights and will be unrelenting in our fight to get you the best possible outcome for your situation.
In California, a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered marriage is considered equal to any other marriage, and is afforded the same rights and protections. With regard to divorce, California is a “no-fault” state, which means that it is not necessary to prove that either partner has done some wrong in a marriage to petition for divorce.
In addition to assisting with preparation of marriage or a divorce, our office can also provide assistance with child custody, child support, and adoption.
Although divorce, custody issues, and other family law matters can be emotionally difficult and highly stressful, please know that we are here to help and support you every step of the way. Give us a call today!
“Ms. Smith was very sensitive to our needs. Our children were living in an abusive household and she was very prompt and agressive to help in removing them. Ms. Smith is a compassionate and understanding attorney who saved our children from a horrible situation.”

“My case was very hard because it involved my wife being unfaithful for 26 years, raised 4 children and my dedication to her nearly killed me and disturbed my children. My attorney did everything right to end this abuse I suffered!”
