Highly recommend!

Grant Kirsh & staff were absolutely phenomenal to work with. They made the process leading up to our adoption so easy. Adoption day was so fun & special. We highly recommend! -Danielle Henigsmith & family.

Exactly What You Need

No matter how much love is there, adoptions are an incredibly difficult legal process. However, I never doubted for one second that Grant, Kylee, and his team had everything under control. And while they certainly eased things for me in the months leading up, Grant made my kids feel so special on the... day of the adoption. Importantly, he did this for both children, one of whom was not being adopted, which was so thoughtful. If you have any reservations, let them go because Grant Kirsh is it.

The best adoption lawyer in Indiana

Gran Kirsh handled our recent adoption of two children and was absolutely wonderful. He made sure we had all the information we needed and answered all questions we had very quickly. We would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of an adoption lawyer.

Amazing team

Kirsh was such a great person to work with. He would take calls personally and always respond quickly and in great detail. The whole process from start to finish has been a breeze with Kirsh and his team. You can tell that they genuinely enjoy what they do and helping families.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
