A DEDICATED LAW PRACTICE
FOCUSED ON BUILDING FAMILIES THROUGH
ADOPTION,
SURROGACY AND
ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES (ART)
(SURROGACY LAW AND EGG DONATION)
MISSION STATEMENT
I am committed to providing the most compassionate and professional legal services and guidance to clients seeking to build their families through Adoption, Surrogacy, or Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).
PHILOSOPHY FOR ADOPTION
First and foremost, clients are advised of their rights and options in adoption. I keep abreast of any changes in the law and pending legislation as it relates to adoption. I keep informed of these changes through adoption group memberships, such as the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, and participation in Bar Associations and Adoption Law Committees. Once clear on what their rights and options are, clients can have more confidence in the decisions they make. I understand that the adoption process can be an emotional time for adoptive parents and birth parents alike. At a time when both parties can be feeling especially vulnerable, I am sensitive to and familiar with the many issues and complexities inherent in adoption. As such, I make every effort to personally handle my clients' calls in a timely fashion and I am accessible to clients both during and after hours. I am there to listen and to offer support and I am prepared to offer referrals for additional resources as needed.
PHILOSOPHY FOR ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY
(SURROGACY LAW AND EGG DONATION)
I appreciate that Surrogacy and Egg Donation law is a relatively new and evolving area of law and, as such, it is particularly important to keep abreast of any changes in the law as well as the evolving ethical standards in the area. I keep informed of these changes through attendance at relevant conferences and by maintaining an active membership in the American Academy of Assisted Reproductive Technology Attorneys. I am sensitive to and familiar with the many issues and complexities inherent in assisted reproductive technology.
