Excellent, happy adoption!
Susan was attentive, thoughtful, and detailed-oriented throughout the adoption process. She was highly attuned to the sensitive nature of the adoption journey and knew how to guide us through the complex procedural side of this life-changing experience.
"Susan is an outstanding attorney with national recognition in the area of adoptions. I have been privileged to have been mentored by Susan in a grandparent adoption.

She is the go-to person in the state of FL for adoptions."
