Foster & adoptive parent of 7

Lucy Pineiro and office personnel have been amazing! I can't say anything negative ! What I can tell you is how loving and dedicated this office is. They strive for the Childs best interest and fight for what's right no matter the outcome all the while being honest and keeping the FP in the loop of w...hat's going on in the system. Very reliable, dedicated and a FP/adoptive herself! If your looking for someone who is dedicated to her profession look no further than this office. She has done all 4 of my adoptions and taking on our next sibling group !

Adoptive Parent

Lucy Pineiro was highly recommended to me by a therapist and several case managers. Lucy was very professional and very informative. She took the time to explain the adoption process to me. We sat for several hours during that process. Mrs. Pineiro gave me the best experience and made the process... very easy for me and my family. I understand why she was highly recommended to me and I will also be referring her to my family and friends.

Passionate and Intelligent

After the first consultation, we knew that we would like for Ms Pineiro to represent us. We are pleased with the service provided by her. Ms Pineiro is extremely knowledgeable in family, dependency and adoption court. We have and will continue to recommend her services.

Amazing !!!!

We met Lucy at a hearing for one of our kids. She noticed us speaking to the judge about our child's health and she came up and introduced herself and told us how she respected us in talking about the child's health to the judge. ( note lucy wasn't our lawyer at the time) but from that moment I calle...d her office because i wanted her to represent us in the adoption of our first son. Lucy and her legal assistant Jackie worked quickly and efficiently to assist us in our adoption. Even during covid-19 while everyone is closed they continued working and proceeding with the process for adoption. As soon as it came time, we had the opportunity to adopt our first son through video conference with all parties involved and they were able to make our dreams a reality! 1st case in miami dade to adopt during covid-19 through video conference. What an amazing feeling to make history and Lucy was part of that! I recommend Lucy to any of friends or family that could use her expertise.

Thank you. But you are the champions in giving a child a forever home. Although I must say it was really meaning and historic to be able to achieve the 1st COVID-19 adoption using social media.

Committed!

I’ve found that most people hire a lawyer when they are in trouble. Experience tells me that is the worse time to look for one. I am very experienced (don’t say I’m old) very experienced!!! Lucy Piñeiro has represented our school for many years, and although we all have Legal issues at one time or... another having her just a phone call away has made potential catastrophes, become just legal issues. She is very experienced, committed to her profession and reachable. Very important when trusting someone with your life or your treasure.
