      Review Tammi Driver

      Two Florida Adoptions

      Posted by

      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

      Posted by

      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

      Posted by

      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

      Posted by

      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

      Posted by

      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.

      Posted by

      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

      Posted by

      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.

      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

      Posted by

      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!
