The best lawyer we’ve ever met.. and been blessed enough to work with!

I truly can’t say enough great things about Mr. Leach! What felt like a complex and almost impossible stepparent adoption turned into a smooth, manageable process thanks to his expertise. He communicated promptly, was incredibly patient, friendly, and knowledgeable every step of the way. We are so gr...ateful to him for helping make our family’s dream come true. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone going through this process!

Easy and Successful

After 10 years of my husband being the only father role model for my daughter, Nate Leach helped us get it legalized. We worried about a fight with the birth father even though he hasn't been around and he assured us that we wouldn't have any issues. He was great at communication, explained everythin...g well and answered all of our questions. It went quickly and we had no issues at all! we are forever grateful for his help.

Helped us with our miracle

I cannot thank Nate Leach enough. We would not have our son without him. My wife and I were approached about adopting a child that lived in Indiana but we live out of state on the west coast. We called lawyers in our home state who were discouraging—explaining high costs and focusing on how it wouldn...'t be possible in a timely manner. Next, we turned to some Indiana lawyers and were again told that it would be too difficult and the cost too high. We talked to Nate and the first conversation we had was positive and encouraging. He knows the adoption laws and he quickly had a plan for how we could adopt this sweet child, that would work for our lives and bank account. He was always available to us whenever we had questions or concerns. He took the time to explain the laws and procedures that we needed to follow. We are incredibly grateful for his hard work in helping us adopt our little miracle.

Hands down, #1 adoption attorney out there!

Need an adoption attorney? Mr. Leach is the man for the job! Seriously, this sounds like an ad, but Nate goes above and beyond to make sure you and your loved ones are represented. He knows the adoption laws inside out and has no problem working with other attorneys or Dcs to make sure you and you...r kiddos have everything needed to start your new lives as a forever family! We just finalized our adoption on Friday!! Nate made it easy and stress-free. So easy and stress free, we hired him for the third time!

Step Parent Adoption

Mr. Leach represented our family in a step parent adoption. My husband adopted our beautiful little girl. Nate made this process so easy and stress free. He was quick to answer any questions we had. We would highly recommend him as your adoption attorney!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Nate and I worked on a complex interstate adoption matter involving child protective services. He represented the adoptive parents. He was very effective in directing the case toward having the adoptee placed with the adoptive family and getting everybody home to Indiana. He was easy to reach and provided anything I needed from him quickly and accurately. I would gladly refer him for adoption matters involving Indiana parties."
