Step-Parent Adoption

Whitney recently helped us with our step-parent adoption and we couldn’t have had a better experience! She was thorough, super nice, and communicated the process to us so well. All of our questions were answered and the whole process went smoother and faster than we could’ve ever imagined! Now my hus...band has officially adopted our oldest two boys and our family feels complete. Thank you, Whitney, for helping us through this exciting new page in our story!

Highly recommend!

Whitney came highly recommended to my family and she did not disappoint. We got in with a consult fast and she began the adoption process right away. She was very explanatory and helped ease my nerves with everything. On adoption day, she was a joy and took pictures with us. Seriously, such a great p...erson that really cares.

Amazing!!!

Whitney is the best lawyer I know. She has helped me and my family with different matters and has been the most professional, intelligent, and toughest lawyer. I always recommend her to any friends or family that need help.

Her knowledge of the law far surpasses that of the average lawyer with the same background and experience. She was also very attentive to her client throughout the Trial which can be very difficult while trying to manage your case. She has a confidence in the courtroom that cannot be faked.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
