About

Giampolo Law Group is an LGBTQ-owned law firm based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dedicated to serving the legal needs of the LGBTQ+ community and those who support them. Founded and managed by Angela Giampolo, a lawyer, lesbian, and activist, the firm brings firsthand understanding of the challenges facing LGBTQ+ individuals and couples to every matter it handles.

The firm's primary practice areas include estate planning, divorce, adoption, employment discrimination, and business law. In estate planning, Giampolo Law Group recognizes that LGBTQ+ individuals face unique circumstances that require specialized knowledge. Even with marriage equality as the law of the land, the firm emphasizes that estate plans tailored to the community's specific needs offer protections that generic documents do not. The firm helps clients create comprehensive plans that ensure their chosen loved ones—not state intestacy laws or court-appointed guardians—control their affairs if they become incapacitated or pass away. These plans address medical decision-making, financial management, and the distribution of assets with clarity and peace of mind.

For divorcing couples, Giampolo Law Group offers a conflict-free, cost-effective approach. The firm advocates for uncontested divorce and property settlement agreements that allow couples to move forward with integrity and minimal financial and emotional strain. Rather than pursuing traditional adversarial proceedings, the firm helps couples navigate this difficult transition while preserving dignity and relationships where possible.

The firm also handles LGBTQ+ employment discrimination cases, helping individuals who have faced unfair treatment because of sexual orientation, gender identity, or related issues. Angela Giampolo's background as an outspoken advocate and speaker on gay rights informs this work, allowing the firm to bring both legal expertise and lived experience to discrimination matters.

Beyond its core legal services, Giampolo Law Group operates the Caravan of Hope, an initiative aimed at ensuring that all LGBTQ+ people have access to legal services, particularly those living in rural and non-urban areas where LGBTQ+ individuals often face greater economic vulnerability and social isolation. The firm serves clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey and offers virtual legal services to expand accessibility.
