John E. Buchholz

It's taken me a lot of internal struggle to write this review (I've honestly never written one before), but ultimately I've come to the conclusion that it's important that nobody else gets into the same situation that my husband and I have been in. We are intended parents in a surrogacy journey and w...e came to John for both our Gestational Carrier Agreement and our Parentage Agreement/Pre-Birth Order. During our time working with John, he lacked communication and we would often go for weeks without communication. He also failed to meet deadlines on submitting important documents, which almost caused us to miss our transfer date. John apologized for this lack of communication and assured us he would "do better" if we hired him again for our Parentage Agreement/Pre-Birth Order. Once we hired John a second time, we experienced the same negligence and would ghost us for weeks at a time. He would tell us that he would have our drafts ready to go by a certain date, but that day would come and go with no word. This got to the point that our GC's lawyers became involved in trying to get ahold of him. Then, John finally reached out to us letting us know he couldn't provide services and that we should seek other council. He said a refund was on the way, but a week later we hadn't received a refund. I called Square to inquire whether a refund had been initiated and it hadn't. In the end, our new lawyer had to get involved so that John would pay us back.
