Pattern Law focuses on Family Expansion Counseling and Family Law, Estate Planning, LGBTQIA+ Law, and Art Law. 

Family expansion counseling is a service designed to help people understand their options for becoming parents and the steps involved with each path. Pattern Law created this service to make it easier to navigate the information and decisions that can come with building a family. Please inquire with us so we may address your personalized situation and needs.

Pattern Law can help with matters involving Marriage & Relationship Recognition, Parental Recognition, Children & Dependents, Spousal or Child Support, Domestic Violence, and Divorce.

Estate planning is more than deciding who receives your belongings. This service creates a plan for illness, incapacity, or death, providing your loved ones with clarity and guidance during difficult times. At Pattern Law, we take a unique approach to estate planning, seeing it as an act of love: a way to protect and care for the people who matter most in your life by giving them a roadmap for honoring your wishes when you can no longer speak for yourself. Your estate plan can help your loved ones understand your wishes about medical treatment, organ donation, guardianship for children, elders, and pets, and more.

Pattern Law offers compassionate, knowledgeable support for LGBTQIA+ individuals and families navigating the legal issues that can arise around gender identity, transitioning, sexual orientation, and other LGBTQIA+ issues. Pattern Law also provides guidance and advocacy for LGBTQIA+ youth and their families, including counseling for parents supporting a child’s gender exploration or transition. We provide representation tailored to the unique identities and experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals, while also offering culturally affirming legal representation in matters that may not be specific to a person's gender or sexuality.

Pattern Law is committed to working directly with artists and creatives because we believe everyone, not just the “big guy,” should have access to legal representation. Whether that involves contract revisions, copyright and trademark violations, or intellectual property protections, we help you understand your rights and options in order to make informed decisions that confidently advocate for yourself and for your art.

The legal system can be intimidating, inaccessible, and confusing, especially for marginalized communities. We believe, no matter your status, you deserve to understand the laws that affect your life and the choices available to you. Here at Pattern Law, we are committed to making the law more accessible by sharing our knowledge with our clients, helping them understand their options, make informed decisions, and move forward with confidence. 

We are community members first, and lawyers second. This perspective shapes how we practice. Showing up for our neighbors, leading with compassion, and using our legal knowledge to support and empower others is at the core of what we do. 

We believe there is value in bringing together different ways of thinking. As both artists and lawyers, we have learned to appreciate both careful legal analysis and creative problem-solving. Art has taught us to slow down, see possibilities from different perspectives, and invest in the parts of life that bring meaning and joy. These lessons are woven into Pattern Law’s philosophy and guide the way that we practice law.

The name Pattern Law is meant to describe the craft and practice of weaving together both family law and legal representation for artists.

Patterns are sequences of things that, in relationship, create a story. For founder Theo Ciccarelli Cornetta, Esq., Patterns are what take their work from singular threads to an interlaced support system for LGBTQIA+ couples and families, creatives, and artists like Ciccarelli Cornetta. Our lives are intertwined with both community and art, and the patterns are what connect us.

We recognize that our most vulnerable community members are also likely to be facing financial hardship. We are committed to working with a wide variety of clients, and can offer adjusted services and pricing for those in need. Please inquire with us directly for more information.

Yes. While Pattern Law was created with a particular commitment to LGBTQIA+ communities that are historically marginalized by the legal system, our goal is to make legal information more accessible to all. We empower our clients to understand their rights, choices, and options.
