Adoption lawyer

Melissa was amazing to work with! Such a new breeze considering I've been dealing with the state for the past 2 years on the adoption of our daughter! She made it quick and easy and explained everything so simply! I would recommend her as an attorney for sure!

Mel is responsible for our miracle!

It recently dawned on me that my wife and I haven't formally thanked Mel for being our miracle worker, please except this review that comes directly from the heart. This November will be 3 years since Melissa was the voice of solution and helped us accomplish our miracle. Before finding Mel, we conta...cted multiple Attorneys, only to be told "it can't be done in the time frame you need", one even chuckled and said good luck with that. From the first phone call when Mel learned that we had the opportunity to privately adopt a newborn, but had time constraints, she was immediately solution driven and put a plan in motion. From the home study agency, to the court stenographer that was brought to the hospital for legal documentation, to the finalization of adoption in front of the judge, Mel's plan was flawless. My wife and I left the hospital with our 2 day old newborn son in almost disbelief that our miracle had really happened. It didn't take long for the rush of emotions and reality to set in, we know that god placed Mel and our son in our lives by design. Almost three years later, our son is thriving and has more family that loves him than he knows what to do with! Mel, you're in our hearts and minds, we forever owe you a debt of gratitude.

We are a happy family of 4!

I'm so greatful that we hired Melissa for both of our Adoptions. We had no idea where to start or even what questions to ask. Melissa knew exactly what we needed after our initial consultation and she took care of everything from that point. She always responded right away to emails or phone calls.... She made the most important situation in our lives possible and made it happen quickly and efficiently. My husband and I after 20 years of marriage and infertility are now a family of 4. We adopted two beautiful girls and if we ever find ourselves looking to adopt again i will definitely hire Melissa for a third time! The Brock Family

Excellent

Melissa is fantastic. She handled our step parent adoption case perfectly. We could not have asked for a smoother or easier process. We never had to follow up for an update and she took the time to ensure that we understood everything she was saying and possible outcomes. We met with several other at...torneys before hiring Melissa and we are so glad we chose her.
