Posted by Emily | June 28, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Outstanding All Around

We worked with Theresa to draft and negotiate our legal contract in a surrogacy arrangement. From the initial consultation all the way through the completion of legal clearance, Theresa was an absolute pleasure to work with. When our clinic provided a timeline by which legal clearance was needed, T...heresa went out of her way to ensure the contract was negotiated and signed by all parties with plenty of time. She was quick to respond to our calls and emails, and made herself available to us as needed to meet our timeline. Theresa was able to confidently discuss and explain the intricacies of the laws and the contract in a way that made it so easy for us to understand what we were agreeing to. She answered our questions and made sure we felt comfortable and supported in the decisions we were making. From start to finish she was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and professional. We would highly recommend working with Theresa.

  • 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.
