This page exists because "do you know a good lawyer" kept coming up in the community with a silent second half: "...who I won’t have to explain myself to." 10th Muses members in NYC and LA have already done that search. Here’s who they found — financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, and technologists who are LGBTQ-friendly and actually good at their jobs.
We’re checking for two things at once: real professional competence, and genuine fluency with queer lives — joint ownership without marriage, name and gender-marker changes, business formation, estate planning that accounts for chosen family. Both have to be true.
The picks below come from members who hired these people for real work — not a search result, a recommendation with a name attached. Scroll by service type: legal, financial, accounting, or tech.
Every listing traces back to a member who used the service and was willing to say so. We check that the recommendation is still accurate and pull anything that isn’t. No sponsored placements.
Location matters less here than in most categories — plenty of this happens remotely — but where it doesn’t, we note the base: Manhattan, Brooklyn, and other NYC boroughs, or the LA area, so you know what a first meeting actually looks like.
