Best Appellate lawyer
Jeanne Tate is an amazing trustworthy appellate attorney. I could tell she really cares about the families and children she represents. Everyone in her office is so helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. Thank you all for the great work you did representing us in our appellate adoption...
"I highly endorse Jeanne. She is a recognized expert in the field of adoption law and a truly outstanding attorney. Robin Fleischner Attorney at Law www.adoptsurrogatelaw.com"
"Jeanne is a great advocate for her clients. My firm has referred her many cases and she always does a superlative job. She understands all of the ins and outs of the emotional and procedural issues related to the adoption process. The fact that she is a professor at University of Florida is indicative of how well respected and erudite she is. I highly recommend Jeanne."
"I have worked with Jeanne, both on a professional level, and as an adoptive mother. Never having been through the adoptive process myself, she and her staff were instrumental in getting me through the process and bringing my daughter home. I am forever indebted to them for their expertise, compassion, dedication and understanding. Being a practicing attorney myself, it was difficult for me to become the client. Jeanne and her staff made it so easy for me to take off my lawyer hat and put on my mommy hat. They're the best!"
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked with Jeanne for a long time and she is an excellent attorney who is very highly respected by her peers."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked with Jeanne for years. She is an excellent adoption attorney. I recommend her without reservation."
