Highly Recommend

Where do I begin? My husband and I got confirmation from our niece that she wanted us to adopt her unborn baby girl. When the final decision was made, we had about a month before the baby was due. Needless to say, there was a lot to figure out. When we connected with Nate, he forever changed our live...s. Our niece and Nate are in Indiana and my husband and I live in Texas. Not only did he walk us through the process, he helped us find a social worker who could conduct a home study in a hurry here in Texas. We were on pins and needles wondering if it would all happen. Nate was so patient with us, calming our nerves, answering a thousand questions and doing it all with the utmost professionalism and kindness. He was also upfront about costs and his prices were more than fair. When my husband and I arrived at the hospital, we were greeted by the social worker and shown to our own room. I thought we would be staying in a hotel and driving back and forth. Nate had communicated so thoroughly with the staff. We felt so welcomed and informed. Our experience with the hospital was amazing and in large part due to his planning and commitment to service. Once we came home with our little girl, Nate continued to check in and update us on the progress of the adoption. When the court date arrived, we couldn’t have felt greater joy than knowing she was ours forever! Nate helped make us a family. He will forever be a part of our hearts and lives. I cannot imagine going through this process with anyone else.

Very friendly and easy to talk to

Nate Leach is an amazing adoption attorney who helped us with the adoption of my foster son. He was very prompt and helpful throughout the adoption process. He was courteous and caring and showed that he cared for the process and my son. He was there to listen when I was having trouble and not give u...p during our negotiation process, he never backed down to the state when they were being difficult. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to adopt in Indiana. Thank you, Nate, for making our dream come true!

Thank you Nate!

We had no idea how the adoption process works. We had a very short amount of time to prepare for our baby. Nate was very helpful. He was able to guide us though the process. Which allowed us to bring our baby home from the hospital? He was very kind and understanding of everyone's needs.

BEST ADOPTION LAWYER

Mr. Leach was our adoption lawyer & He walked us through the whole process from beginning to end. I am beyond happy we got referred to them by a family friend. We adopted a child from the state of Indiana & we lived in another state. He walked us through it all from what is needed to the final hearin...g. He was available for any questions we had. His expertise & compassion are two great qualities that he has, I am beyond Grateful with him for helping make our family complete.

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!

"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."
