Denise M. Bierly's Lawyer Endorsements
"Denise is a highly competent and caring attorney. I highly recommend her and have enjoyed working with her."
"I highly endorse Denise.A past President of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, her knowledge, compassion, expertise in adoption, surrogacy, and reproductive law are top notch. Robin Fleischner Attorney at Law www.adoptsurrogatelaw.com"
"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."
