I practice adoption law exclusively and am Board Certified in adoption law by The Florida Bar and a Fellow of the prestigious Academy of Adoption & Assisted Reproduction Attorneys.
I began working in adoption as a licensed mental health counselor, counseling expectant mothers and conducting home studies of prospective adoptive parents. I have been the director of legal services and the executive director of two of the largest adoption agencies in the state of Florida.
I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in psychology, magna cum laude, from Western Kentucky University in 1988 and received my master’s degree in educational psychology with a concentration in community counseling from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1989. After working as a therapist, administrator, and consultant, I decided to earn a law degree to better advocate for children and families.
In 2005, I earned my law degree with honors from the University of Florida Levin College of Law. After graduating from law school, I practiced in the areas of domestic violence, disability advocacy, and insurance defense before focusing my practice on adoptions.
I cannot imagine a more rewarding practice. I feel blessed every day for the opportunity to help create families and guide birth parents and adoptive parents through their adoption experience.

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 w...

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 als...

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.

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 J...
