About Rhonda
Biography
I practice exclusively in the area of adoption law and have more than 28 years experience assisting clients in their adoption process. I provide experienced, compassionate and highly personalized legal service for clients in a wide range of adoption matters. Since I handled my first adoption case in 1988, I have assisted in more than 3,000 adoptions. In addition to my law practice, I founded Adoption Planning, Inc., a Georgia licensed chiild-placing agency, in 1990 and served as Executive Director from 1990 to 2014. I also have a graduate degree in counseling. This training, in addition to my experience as an adoptive parent, enables me to provide legal services with compassion and the highest standards. I have a strong commitment to ethics and practicing with integrity and ensure that I am available at all times to my clients.
28 years experience in practice devoted to adoption law throughout Georgia.

Excellent Attorney
Mrs. Fishbein is an excellent attorney with many years of experience in adoption law. She guided us through every step of our stepparent adoption with ease. We are so thankful we had her expertise for the most important time in our lives as a family so far. I highly recommend her services.
