She's an Angel

We are so grateful to have Angel to be our adoption attorney, she is an "angel". We always felt that the process would be to difficult and something we could never afford but, she showed us that we were wrong. At our initial meeting we explained our concerns and challenges and she listened with care ...and compassion. She explained each step of the process making sure we understood without making it seem like doing so was a task. She was always available to answer any questions that came up during the process, and we will be forever grateful for everything she has done for our family. Beverly H.

Angel helped me adopt Angel

I first met Angel because she needed rooms for her upcoming wedding and I managed hotel that she contacted. When we first met I gave her my initial information and then I didn't do anything else, I then contacted her a year later and so happy I did. I am still in awe over the wonderful news that you ...decided to share with me on one of the best holidays that I celebrate. Thanksgiving has always been special to me but now it has a deeper meaning. On behalf of myself and my family I want to take this time to say a huge thank you in your work in getting this adoption finalized. You were very straight forward from the beginning in what to expect during this process, you always answered my questions or concerns whenever I had them, your attention to me as if I was your only client made me feel so at ease during this process...and it was a process. At times, I was scared and worried if anything was going to go wrong and she always found the words to make me feel better. I cried so much that day from joy. I have always loved her since day one and looked at her as mine BUT now....OMG I can't stop smiling and looking at her. She has always been my daughter but now she is LEGALLY mine and that is music to my ears. I can't thank you enough for making this process so seamless, I will forever be thankful to you. My heart is so over joyed and content.

The best!

Angel helped us complete our kinship adoption. It's hard to even put into words how amazing Angel is, but here are some that come to mind: knowledgeable, caring, organized, meticulous, and diligent. Communication was great through out the whole process as well. I would not hesitate to hire Angel agai...n!

Above and Beyond

In 2018, my husband and I had Angel create a simple will for us at the beginning of our adoption journey. We were able to complete all paperwork with her electronically and meet for the final signing. She was very flexible, made the process easy to understand, and was great to work with. She was als...o our lawyer for the adoption of our son. She went above and beyond to reach out to our county office to get our paperwork completed in a timely manner. Angel was very calm and positive through the entire process. I have recommended her to many other families and would definitely work with her again in the future.

Compassion and Integrity

Angel went above and beyond to help us throughout our adoption process. We had great difficulty with another attorney, and just as we were beginning to feel hopeless, we met Angel who offered us the support, guidance and reassurance that we sorely needed. Angel demonstrates a level of compassion that... can only come naturally. That combined with great knowledge for adoption law made her the perfect fit for us. We are so grateful that Angel came into our lives and helped us become parents to the most amazing little boy we have ever known!
