Maria Teresa Bates

I can not recommend Maria enough! I was originally referred to her by my surrogacy agency at the time and it could not have gone any better. She is knowledgeable ,so kind , clear with everything that is happening or going to happen and truly puts her client's interest first. She goes above and beyond... to make sure you are fully informed in all aspects of your contract/case and has no issues with a little extra hand holding should you need it. Her combination of empathy and logic are a breath of fresh air in what can sometimes be a chaotic world of surrogacy.

Maria has been working with our nonprofit organization on a pro bono basis; she has done an incredible job providing legal and strategic guidance, contract drafting and negotiation, and compliance insight as we assessed our programs and plotted a course for long-term growth and development. Throughou...t the entire process, she added to the value of our organization through her work ethic and analytical skills. As a result, we have a more structured organization with clear, specific, thoroughly developed plans of action for our current programs and a blueprint for our future growth. Maria is very focused and task-oriented, yet she still relates to her clients on a more personal level, cheering each success or uplifting spirits when the inevitable roadblocks occurred...and she always helped us find the path forward. We are very thankful for her dedication to her clients, her passion for her work, and the sincerity of her heart while working with our board and staff. Maria thank you for reminding us that dreams do indeed come true when you wake up and take the first step forward… Highly recommend!
