Gestational Surrogacy

Last year we had a child through a gestational surrogate. I was unable to have a child natuarally and had struggled with my spouse for several years to have a child. We were at the end of our rope when we considered surrogacy. The entire process was confusing and stressful until we retained Matt. He... was superb. He really cared about us and handled everything from locating the surrogate, to the contract, the pre-birth order, the hospital plan, to dealing with the hospital administrators and handling insurance issues. There was nothing he didn't know, explain, or take care of. He and his assistants are wonderful, patient and thorough. We could not have been in better hands. We now have a wonderful daughter thanks to Matt and his team. He even followed up months after the birth and still checks on us to make sure all is well. This guy is a God send! I wouldn't use anyone else. Super nice, super smart!

BEST SURROGACY ATTORNEY ANYWHERE

My husband and I used Mr. Miller in an extremely complicated and confusing surrogacy. We had worked with two other lawyers and the issues were so complex and they couldn't get them resolved. One of the surrogacy attorneys suggested we bring in Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller met with us. He took the time... to answer everything. He explained the law and how he would fix the problems. From that point on it was smooth and easy. Mr. Miller navigated through all the roadblocks we had encountered and got as the pre-birth order, order of paternity, order of custoday and birth certificate and got the hospital's full cooperation. The hospital administrator later told us he was the best attorney we could have gotten for the surrogacy and that he is the best they work with on surrogacies. He was simply wonderful. He even gave us his cell phone number and told us to call anytime we needed anything. No matter what the problem that arose, he was there to fix it. When our child was born he came to the hospital. This is the best attorney I have ever worked with. He is also the kindest. My husand and I felt like he genuinely cared about us. By the end of the representation, we considered him a family friend for all he did for us. He was the best surrogate attorney we found in three states. I can not say enough about him.

If you want peace of mind knowing you have the right lawyer...

I was reffered by a few friends to Mr. Miller for my divorce sase. It was a tough contested military divorce that was not going wel until I retained Mr. Miller. Once I did, the turn around was incredible. I knew in the first meeting this was the right attorney. He was totally honest, patient, and... no bull. He was extremely knowledgable on divorce and knew everything on the the military issues. He made me feel at ease and let me stop worrying all the time. He was fantastic and forced a great settlement. This is deffinately the lawyer you want and the lawyer you sure dont want representing your spouse. I completely recommend Mr. Miller.
