Patience “Polly” Crozier (she/her/hers) joined GLAD Law in October 2016. Polly came to GLAD Law from private practice where her work focused on LGBTQ+ probate and family law, including adoption, divorce, dissolution, guardianship, paternity, parentage, name changes, gender marker changes, and assisted reproduction issues. Polly has engaged in cutting-edge trial court and appellate litigation involving assisted reproduction and parentage including 亨特訴羅斯案 (2012), Adoption of a Minor (2015), 帕爾塔寧訴加拉格爾案 (2016), Adoption of Daphne (2020), and J.M. v. C.G. (2023). Polly’s work focuses on youth and family issues, including parentage protections, adoption, access to fertility healthcare, transgender family law, juvenile justice, and child welfare, and work at the intersection of LGBTQ justice and reproductive justice. 

Most recently, Polly successfully worked to help pass laws that update family law in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont that ensure LGBTQ+ families have equal access to the legal recognition of their relationship to their children, as well as health care provider shield laws in Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
