Client Review:
My husband and I wanted to adopt our twin grandsons whom we had custody of. They were born out of state, and neither birth parent could be found. Mr. Bull and his staff did an outstanding job. We were thoroughly informed up front about the process as well as possible problems or hurdles that we might encounter. As you can imagine there was a plethora of paperwork required, interaction with out of state agencies as well as the in state agencies. The knowledge and professionalism of Mr. Birney was exceptional. We feel very blessed to have been fortunate enough to have selected him as our lawyer. He insured that all required or possiblely required documentation was in place and complete. Everything required was in place and we had our day in court! The end result was just as the boys and we had hoped for. I strongly recommend Mr. Birney to anyone looking to adopt a child.

Client Review:
My family's experience with this lawyer and his staff was amazing. I was not the easiest client in that I had a ton of questions and was constantly in contact, but even with that being said I was always treated with courtesy and respect. They were more than just an adoption lawyer to me because they also provided emotional support for something that can be emotionally draining. Birney O'Brian Bull is an incredibly knowledgable and competent lawyer and any and all questions that I had were answered very promptly and in a professional matter. I will close with if you are looking to adopt I would definitely give them a call you will be happy that you did.

Mr Bull was great!!

Client Review:
What can I say about a man that took me an dmy family step by step in the adoption of my oldest daughter. Mr. Bull took every oppurtunity to ensure that every step throughout the whole proccess was explain to the very minute detail. He first and far most concern was that me and my wife was completely informed and understood each document was explained, read and understood before signing. His professionalism was awesome, always sought to that to see that our time was his time and vice versa. Mr. bull and his team even after, I means years after our adoption still render the help needed in obtaining paperwork that was lost, destroyed or misplaced. When him and his team say "Call us if you need any assistance afterwards" those words they truly mean it to the heart. Mr. Bull and your team, I thank you for your kindness, patience, and care.

Birney Bull is AWESOME!!!!!

Client Review:
I cannot say enough good things about Birney. He handled all three of my adoptions & I just knew we were in good hands from the moment we started working with him. My first adoption ran into a small glitch(paternal side) & Birney took time, patience, & effort to make sure that everything worked out for us & it did. I am constantly telling anyone who is considering adoption, or not, about him. Birney is so sweet, friendly, honest, down to earth, and so on and so forth. I have pleasant memories of my adoption experiences and after thanks to Birney. I could go on, but I'll stop here. He's HIGHLY recommended!

Birney is anything but a stereotypical Lawyer.

I would never have thought that working with a Lawyer would be something I would enjoy. However my wife and I truly enjoyed the time we spent with Birney while we where going through the process of adopting our son. Adoption is a long often stressful process, but Birney's expertise in the field and easygoing demeanor made the the process easier and smoother. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Client Review:
I would highly recommend Birney Bull. He has a great work ethic and was able to jump right in and help us when we called him on VERY short notice for an interstate adoption (adoption across state lines). We didn't know everything that would be required for an interstate adoption but with one phone call to him, he took care of everything and made the process incredibly smooth and quick so we could just focus on enjoying the meeting of our new baby boy at the hospital. He remained very responsive through the process - a process that became tediously long and drawn out due to factors outside of his control. He kept us well informed and did all the leg work possible to ensure we were well taken care of and that all the details were accounted for to the letter of the law. He is a man of integrity and trustworthy character and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing an attorney. Also, we compared rates when we were first looking into an attorney and he was BY FAR the most reasonably priced. It was an incredible blessing for my husband and I to get that kind of service for that kind of price.

My baby boy just turned 13 months and we couldn't be happier to call him ours:) We are thankful to Birney for helping to make it all possible.

Great adoption assistance.

Client Review:
Four years ago my wife and I wanted to adopt our nephew whom we had had custody of a few years. We approached Birney about the adoption because out of all the attorneys we had went to, he was the only one whom, we felt, truly cared. It wasn't just his care for us and our needs, but his true commitment to the children of these cases and his pro life activism that really showed through his demeanor. He charged an extremely fair rate and did every once of work required for the filing and handling of this case. Unfortunately other complications arose with custody and we couldn't complete the process before we had to move out of Georgia. To my amazement, Birney in his fair act refunded for part of the adoption because it wasn't completed. His fairness and honest approach to his clients and his genial heartfelt treatment of us has earned him the highest of praise. If you want results from someone who knows the system and genuinely cares for his clients the Birney Bull's your man.

Highly recommend Birney Bull

Client Review:
Birney Bull helped us to adopt our precious baby boy going on 3 years ago. He was very knowledgeable about the adoption procedure and made things very easy for us. He was always quick to respond to emails or answer our questions. He has compassion for children and families, and it is obvious that he finds true joy in uniting and growing families. We will always be grateful for him in helping us obtain our new addition!

Client Review:
When we were looking for an attorney to handle our adoption, Birney Bull was recommended to us. After meeting with him, we knew we had the right attorney. We have since refered him to others. Birney sincerely cares and is passionate about children, his clients and his practice. Our only regret is we didn't thank him enough. Thanks Birney!

Client Review:
Birney was awesome to work with, and took personal time to work with us in an emergency situation. When the Birth Mother went into labor, Birney was out of town for his family, but he took that time to work with us and give us the much needed support and advice we needed. He is very caring and understanding and would highly recommend him to work with.

Client Review:
I used Mr. Bull for the adoption process of my son by his stepfather. I virtually just had to sit back and relax and Birney did practically everything and kept me informed every step of the way. Also my aunt was unable to have children of her own and she used Birney and has a great family with 3 children that were brother and sisters that are now my cousins and I love them very much. If you want great personal service with a trustworthy and intelligent attorney I recommend Birney Bull 100%.

Client Review:
We first contacted Birney while attempting a private local adoption. Birney and his assistants were very helpful and knowledgeable. They offered counciling for the pregnant girl involved, which she unfortunately declined. In the end, she backed out and kept the baby. Birney was very compassionate during that terrible time for us. We later used an international agency and adopted our son from Russia. When we got home with Thomas, Birney helped us with the Georgia re-adopt proceedure. Again, we were very pleased with the level of knowledge. He guided us through the proceedure making it simple to complete all the necessary steps. Birney truly cares about building families. I would recommend his services to anyone involved in adoption.
Sincerely TracyTracy

Client Review:
During our international adoption, we had gone through so much that we were weary of the process by the time we got to Birney. He was a breath of fresh air and by far the smoothest and least stressful part of our entire experience. He was very knowledgable and walked us through the process flawlessly. I would whole heartedly recommend him.

Client Review:
My husband & I adopted our son 2 years ago. During the process we had some birthfather issues where he was trying to contest the adoption (without lawyer support) and he didn't even know if he was the BF. Birney pushed our adoption process along and process was complete within 8 weeks of bringing our son home. He made a very stressful situation into one that was victorious!

I would absolutely recommend Birney's services to my closest family members and friends - and I will use him again should the opportunity ever arise. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better adoption experience back in 2005 - it seemed flawless from our end and we were 100% informed each and every step of the way. It is apparant upon your first meeting with him that Birney is just an all-around, down-to-earth and trustworthy guy. My husband and I - having never used the services of a lawyer prior to Birney - were both pleasantly surprised. What an amazing and smooth adoption experience we had and we couldnt' be more thankful still today!

Client Review:
Birney responded to an immediate adoption/legal guardian situation within hours of our call. If he had not agreed to help us we would have floundered and probably lost our opportunity to gain legal guardianship of our now adopted daughter. Everything from the beginning to the end was handled in such a professional yet courteous manner he and his team made it seem simple. Because of his love for God and devotion to adoption he worked fearlessly to see our adoption completed. Jack and I are very thankful for Birney and his staff!

Client Review:
My husband and I have used Birney twice so far and are in the works for using him one more time. The first time the lawyer we picked was not in court the day for final adoption. Birney happened to be there and stood in for us that day. ( our so called lawyer didn't even let us know he wasn't going to be there and we waited for hours) But Birney came to the rescue!. So when time came again for our next adoption we knew who to call. Birney kept us informed every step of the way and even followed thru atferwards sending pics. We are now getting ready to adopt again and we know for a fact we want to use Birney once again. My husband and I consider ourselves Christians and feel very good around Birney, he is a Christian himself. Birney is top notch at what he does and you can't go wrong using him. We would and we do recommend Birney to everyone we know. There aren't enough good things we could say about Birney to let you really know how well he handles his business. He has been nothing but professional from day one with us. He has made us feel at ease when we felt nervous before talking with him. Thanks for all you do Birney !!
God Bless!!!!!!

Our adoption, and no adoption, goes perfectly. However, ours went quite awry and Birney was the best thing that ever happened to us! He held our hands and calmed our nerves--and maintained professionalism all the while. We adore Birney! We cannot say enough good things about him!
