Adoption Info-agency consult

Don was recommended as a potential attorney to help our adoption agency explore working in Connecticut with expectant moms considering adoption. Don was incredibly knowledgable regarding the adoption laws and processes in the state, and consulted with us over a phone call, providing expertise and ans...wering questions. He clearly has vast experience in this area. We plan to work with him in the future.

Highly recommend

We hired Don for help with the process and finalization of a private domestic adoption. He was always quick to respond and highly knowledgeable on the subject. We would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Great adoption attorney!

I reached out to Donald regarding international adoptions. He was very prompt in calling back and finding information regarding my case. Even though he was unable to further help me regarding my case (He has done adoptions but in my particular case the international aspect requires a more specialized... approach) he was able to find out information/recommend me to an international adoption agency he has used in the past. I truly thank him for taking the time to point me the right way. If I have any other issues regarding family court, I will reach out to him!

Great consult

Don was so helpful — spending over 20 minutes of his time discussing my adoption issue and suggesting the best next steps for me. I would definitely reach out to him in the future for advice.

Validation of Adoption

I hired Attorney Sherer to validate the adoption of my daughter in the state of Connecticut. I needed the validation done quickly to complete the immigration process for my daughter. The whole validation process took only a matter of weeks and included an expedited petition for court hearing (which... was granted) and a video hearing in which my petition was granted. I couldn't imagine a better experience. If you have an adoption issue in Connecticut and need to hire an attorney, Mr. Sherer would be a great choice. He knows the law (in fact he wrote part of the state statute himself when he served as a state legislator) and the judges well. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
