ATLANTA, August 01, 2012, 3:09 pm -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Kitchens New Cleghorn, LLC, a firm with a proud history representing diverse family law in Georgia, has been named 2012 Best Law Firm by the GA Voice, an Atlanta-based publication serving thousands of gays and lesbians statewide.
The honor follows two months of reader voting, which deemed KNC the best Atlanta gay lawyers at providing sensitive, effective and inclusive legal representation to the LGBT community.
It is the first year the firm has won the title, beating out two other city firms for the top spot.
“We are honored to be recognized by the Georgia Voice for our law firm's advocacy on behalf of all families,” said KNC partner Jeff Cleghorn.
Best Atlanta Gay Lawyers Title Part of Annual Series
The honor was part of the publication's “Best of Atlanta” series. That series lets readers vote for their favorite Atlanta businesses serving the LGBT community with respect and pride.
“With a team of law professionals that is almost unsurpassed, Kitchens New Cleghorn, LLC is your top choice. Joyce Kitchens, Randy New and Jeff Cleghorn fight for their clients and causes, including LGBT equality,” the newspaper wrote in its July 5 edition, which announced winners in categories like entertainment and services.
Honor Highlights Atlanta Gay Lawyers' Commitment to Inclusion
The local recognition underscores the firm's commitment to promoting tolerance and educating gays and lesbians on their rights in accordance with family law in Georgia. Besides helping many gay and lesbian couples expand their families through adoption, the firm hosted a gay marriage forum in June and an event last fall outlining powers of attorney, second parent adoption and many other legal protections existing for Georgia same-sex couples.
In addition, on Aug. 16, these tireless Atlanta gay lawyers will host an event aimed at cutting suicide rates among gay and lesbian youths.
“Protecting the legal rights of LGBT people and families is a priority of our law firm,” Cleghorn said. “Georgia's laws are not always hospitable to its LGBT citizens, so it is a privilege to advocate for them.”
