Excellent experience working with Ellen!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Ellen. Working with her in relation to my surrogacy contract was a breeze. She always responds to emails quickly and is very thorough. I highly recommend her!

Highly Reccommended!

My husband and I worked with Ellen Rubenstein at the recommendation of a friend and former client of hers during our surrogacy process. She was quickly responsive to all communication, thoroughly explained the legal process ART in Texas, always professional, and easy to work with. She sent follow up... emails throughout the whole surro pregnancy and genuinely advocated for her clients. Her legal fees are very reasonable without compromising on quality and exceptional service. Would HIGHLY RECCOMMEND!

Surrogacy

Ellen was excellent to work with. She worked with our busy schedules and was quick and efficient in her work. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a family lawyer.

Wonderful

Ms Rubenstein was extremely professional while handling my surrogacy contract. She returned all of my emails in a timely manner and answered all of questions in a way that I could understand. She definitely had my best interest at heart and I received a great contract because of her! She worked very... quickly and I got everything done very quickly!

Gestational Carrier Contract Attorney

I have worked with Ellen twice now in reviewing and finalizing my contract as a gestational carrier. She was very knowledgeable about all the specific requirements with this type of contract. Ellen had a few suggestions for the contract that I would not have thought of myself. She was easy to get in ...touch with, both via email and on the phone. She also worked well with the other attorney. Both times, the process went smoothly and I felt very confident in her representing my best interest.
