Above Excellent Attorney!
Having Denise Bierly support us legally was the best decision we made! She wasn't our first attorney we sought and we struck gold when we found her. She was our educator on the gestational process, our saving grace in answering all of our many questions throughout, our match maker for finding the a perfect carrier for our needs, and most of all a newly gained caring friend. We could not be more pleased to have her there the day our twins arrived. It was so reassuring knowing that she was truly there in support, love and kindness to help us celebrate; for thanks to Denise we now have our family!

Not trust worthy!
We trusted Denise to prepare an accurate contact for us and our surrogate. Unfortunately the contract was miswritten costing us thousands of dollars in the end. We would not recommend using her.

Adoption Attorney | Mar 27
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. As a former judicial law clerk, I've had the opportunity to see attorney Bierly in action many times. Her knowledge of adoption law and courtroom procedures is unmatched by many of her peers. The amount of preparation she invests in her cases make judges smile when she enters a courtroom. Lastly, and probably most importantly, Ms. Bierly's clients are not nameless faces to her; she truly cares for children and their soon-to-be adoptive parents."
