When every other lawyer says it can't be done......go to Atty. Judy Sartain!!!!!

Judy was absolutely amazing! We had tried to go through stepparent adoption in Columbus, GA as well as Alabama & had hit roadblocks every time. Everyone else told us that they would never vote in favor of alleviating the biological mother's rights even though she was on drugs, unemployed, had multi...ple charges for felonies, (need I go on?). We were really naïve to think that all it took was love, excellent parenting and financial/emotional stability on our part. We had done everything right.....but sometimes that is not enough in the law's eyes. Finally we were given the name Judy Sartain through another lawyer & boy was it the best gift we could have hoped for! Judy knew she was working against the clock because my husband was going to be deployed any day. She made magic happen & finally after years of going bankrupt with other attorneys Judy got the job done!! I am so proud to say our amazing little girl is graduating this year & has multiple college offers/scholarships, won countless awards for academics/athletics and is up for Miss USA. All of this was possible because Judy knew if our baby was sent back to the "egg donor" aka biological mother our daughter would not have stood a chance! Our baby's future would have been over and she would have become game for the multiple drug users the biological mother dated, lived in absolute poverty & had zero support, love or guidance. I begged Judy not to let this happen & Judy assured us she would spend every minute making sure it did not! The day our daughter was awarded to us completely (egg donor's rights terminated) there was not a dry eye in the courthouse. I would highly suggest Atty. Judy Sartain to anyone who is looking for an honest, ethical, caring and (thank goodness!) patriotic attorney. She is the reason my daughter's future looks so bright!

Judy Sartain is an Excellent Adoption Lawyer!

Judy Sartain is an amazing professional lawyer, but even more is a person who cares deeply for everyone that she helps through the adoption process. Judy has outstanding success, and we felt confident during every step because Judy takes the time to explain what is going on and what we needed. Even w...hen we felt discouraged, Judy was right there to encourage us and love us through the uncertainties. Thank you Judy for helping us complete our family!

Step-parent adoption

Judy was our attorney for a step-parent adoption for our oldest son. From the start she was a book of knowledge and always professional. We had consulted with a few other attorneys before deciding on Judy. None were like her. With the rest we felt money was the topic of importance but with Judy it wa...s our son and the adoption. She knew the process very well and kept us informed throughout. Everything went smoothly and quickly before the judge and we were granted the adoption. If we ever hear of anyone needing guidance in adoption, we refer them to Judy. Thank you again, Judy!

Excellent service and compassion!

Judy Sartain is a consummate professional. She was able to assist us with our inter-state adoption in a manner that our home state attorney could not. In fact, after placement and during our extended waiting period in our home state, Judy served as a consultant and was able to answer all of our que...stions! This has been an amazing experience because of Ms. Sartain's efforts and our family will forever be indebted to her for representing the best interests of the beautiful child we adopted into our family! She is remarkable, knowledgeable, professional, and in a phrase, the best!

Adoption Success!

Ms. Sartain performed the services of 2 adoptions for our family. I found her to be very professional, thorough, and helpful. I would not have anyone else do an adoption for my family. In my opinion she is the best attorney in her field. I would highly recommend if you need an adoption to hire Judy S...artain.
