Review Tammi Driver

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

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!

The BEST of the best!

Posted by

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

Posted by

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

Posted by

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!

Posted by

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.
