If you are looking for the best - Tammi is it!!

We are so blessed to have found Tammi. From the first phone call with Tammi, we knew right away that she was everything we could ask for in a lawyer. Her knowledge, perseverance, and compassion shines through her work. Tammi made our adoption process an amazing experience and we know it wouldn’t of been the same without her. She is the reason our family is complete and now feels part of our family. We highly recommend Tammi Driver and her firm!

I will NEVER forget this VIP in our lives!

Tammi was with me on an adoption journey that ended badly. 2 years later, we were presented with the idea again and I knew immediately who to call. Tammi is by far amazing. She stayed calm through all of my emotion roller coaster up and downs, and handled all situations with professionalism and grace. We are blessed to have worked with Tammi! 10 out of 10!

Stepfather Adoption

Tammi stuck with us through a prolonged international custody battle, and navigated getting the hiding defendant found and served. She did a great job keeping things calm throughout, was gracious and approachable with our child, and charismatic and competent during the hearings with a new judge on rotation.

Infant adoption

Tammi walked us through the legalities of the adoption of our daughter with ease. Her and her team were there for us whenever we needed them. She exceeded our expectations! She’s very knowledgeable on adoption law and we would highly recommend her to anyone that is adopting.

Adoption,

Ms. Driver was my Att. In adopting my daughter. Many years ago we tried to adopt my daughter, but kept running into road blocks. So we tried again, I was referred to Ms. Driver, and within months, Ms. Driver did what we wanted to do years ago. I am so Blessed for her services. She did all this during the pandemic. She is the best, at getting things done.

Two Florida Adoptions

Tammi helped us navigate two separate Florida adoptions. Being from out of state, she helped take away our concerns and make us feel comfortable with what can be a very volatile and scary process. She's as ethical and professional as they come. We're thankful for the role she played in what will forever be our family's story.

Services for Adoption

We hired Tammi to help us with the adoption of our son, and we could not have asked for anyone better! Tammi was always quick to answer our questions and provided us with all the necessary services in a very timely manner. Not only did we feel like she (and her staff) took good care of us, but they took good care of our birth momma as well. We are grateful we connected with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for help with an adoption in Florida!

Compassionate and helpful

Tammi helped us in a step-parent adoption and it was done in a timely manner. She always upheld a professional demeanor and was very compassionate to our case. It was emotionally draining at times but she helped and executed everything timely and organized. I appreciate her and her assistant Joy beyond words could ever convey.

Excellent Service and Exceptional Staff

Tammi and her staff have always went above and beyond for our family. When our son was born, Tammi sat with us in the hospital waiting on the staff to discharge us, it was almost midnight before we were let leave. Now, we have just finalized our second adoption (baby girl!!) with them, without them we would have been lost in the adoption process.

Highly Recommended for Adoption

My husband and I are so glad we hired Tammi and could not recommend her enough. Tammi and her staff were there as a constant reassurance of making sure our adoption was ethical and that all parties were aware of legalities while being kind and supportive to us and our daughter's birth mother. She also helped us find an additional lawyer so that our daughter's birth mother would have her own legal representation to make sure she was fairly represented and informed during the process. They always went above and beyond during our process and finalization. We will always recommend Tammi for those searching for an adoption attorney and are so thankful for her guidance in the adoption of our daughter. We would hire Tammi and her staff again in a second!

Amazing. Wonderful. Miracle worker.

I hired Tammi for adult adoptions for both my daughters. She was very thorough. Explained everything that needed to happen in detail. For my 2nd adoption, she made a miracle happen when our final court date was during the pandemic, she arranged for the court hearing with the judge in her office. I’m so grateful for Tammi and her team. She was affordable and caring and simply a wonderful person. My daughters and I are so impressed with her work. Thank you, Tammi.

So thankful for Tammi

My wife and I were put into contact with Tammi due to our relationship with Destiny Adoption. We adopted our first baby girl last year very out of the blue, and once placement had occurred and the long finalization process initiated, Tammi provided our legal services (along with her legal assistant Joy). This involved filing lots of paperwork with the court and keeping us appraised of timelines and providing crucial legal documents as they came in. As finalization approached, Tammi's clear communication, prompt response to questions, and calm demeanor carried us through. When we had to reschedule our initial hearing due to illness, Tammi was very responsive, and she further showed great adaptability and walked us through everything when COVID-19 seemed to threaten our rescheduled hearing. Finalization is now complete and we are very grateful for her services.

Amazing, knowledgable attirney

We adopted our son in 2017. Tammi was knowledgeable about every step in a slightly complicated process. She gave us information straightforward and was there for us through every step.

Great advocate and partner to have in your adoption journey

Tammi and her team did a great job for our family in our adoption journey. She was very accessible, thorough, and compassionate as we sorted through all of the details in the process. She was also very honest with us and never sugar coated the tough issues, which we appreciated. We would highly recommend her team!

Posted by Josefina | December 26, 2019

Great team, professional and warm

The service we received for our son's adoption was exceptional. We felt pleased every step of the process.

Posted by Jerry and Jackson | July 12, 2019

The BEST of the best!

When we were first considering adoption, we consulted Tammi, who took an enormous amount of time and care to walk us through every aspect of what could end up being a very emotional and risky process. Her patience with us was remarkable, as we had lots of questions. Once we committed to going through the process, we knew we had to have Tammi by our side. And she was there, every step of the way, assuring and informing and reassuring us throughout the entire beautiful journey that ended in the adoption of our exquisite little baby girl. Tammi is knowledgeable and steadfast and has heart, and that’s a rare combination. We highly recommend Tammi Driver!

Very compassionate and personable

Tammi is very personable and goes the extra mile to help ensure both the birth parents and adoptive parents feel at ease. Her compassion goes unmatched and you can rest assured that she will be with you every step of the way. I am a very thorough person and had lots of specific questions. She never made me feel like I was a bother, and took all of my questions seriously. We would definitely use her services again in the future if an opportunity arises.

Wonderful attorney that takes the extra time

We worked with Tammi to adopt our daughter. It was our first adoption and our daughter's birth family circumstances were a little unusual. Tammi did a wonderful job of (1) navigating through the process; (2) keeping us informed and reassured; and (3) coordinating with our daughter's birth mother to keep her informed, as well. Tammi responded to us promptly when we had questions and we never felt rushed - Tammi always took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly. Further, although it was a somewhat aggressive timeline for our situation, we dreamed of having our daughter's adoption finalized by Christmas. With Tammi's help that dream came true on December 18. I very much hope we have the opportunity to work with Tammi again when we are ready to adopt a second child.

Highly recommended adoption lawyer!

We've worked with Tammi to adopt both of our sons. She has been nothing short of amazing. Not only were both adoptions handled professionally, but Tammi was personally involved in our family's interests. Even when we hit some bumps in the road, Tammi not only prepared us emotionally but also used her expertise to position our family in a strategic place. We would recommend working with Tammi to any and everyone.
