Posted by Janet | October 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

Adoption

When I married my husband he had a 14 year old son. It became apparent that the child's biological mother was disengaged and caused him much pain. I love this child and saw that he needed a full time mom who would always be there for him. I hired Chris Short to help me adopt my son. The process was q...uick and easy on my end. I don't recall having to do much of anything. Chris handled it all. He helped give my son a stable life with a mom and dad who love him very much!

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.
