FAQs
Do I need an account or referral?
No. You can browse the directory without an account and contact any listed provider directly.
Is my visit private?
We don't use analytics or tracking, and no account is required. Like any website, our host keeps standard server logs. The Safe exit button takes you to another site straight away and replaces this page in your history; for extra safety, close the tab or use a private window.
How much does it cost?
Each provider sets their own fees. Please reach out to them directly for information about fees and charges. Some providers also offer pro bono work, and you can filter the directory for pro bono options.
What is a justice navigator?
A navigator helps you understand legal and government systems, prepare for appointments and hearings, and connect with resources. They are not lawyers and can't give legal advice, but can connect you to one.
Who is listed, and how are they chosen?
Every listed provider has affirmed their commitment to inclusive practices for transgender and gender-diverse persons.
Are you a legal provider?
