Judith Ann Hoechst

We were referred to Judith through the Fertility Center of New Mexico to represent us through the process of using a gestational carrier for surrogacy in 2021. I had an initial call with with her and everything sounded great. We talked a few more times on the phone and had an email correspondence dis...cussing the details. When it was time to move forward Judith stopped taking my calls and would not respond to voicemails or emails. She completely ghosted us in the middle of the process and left us scrambling to find a new attorney. There are very few attorneys that work in this field in the state of New Mexico and she put us in a very difficult position. Everything went smoothly until this point and I don't understand why she did this. If she didn't want to work with us she could have told us instead of abandoning us at such a critical time. Leading us on the way she did was a terrible and unethical thing to do. I would not recommend working with an attorney that shows such questionable moral judgment.

Judith's knowledge, expertise & efforts regarding legislation in the area of reproductive law is exactly why she is an excellent advocate to help all who are going through the process of expanding their family. Coupled with her reproductive nursing background and sharing her own personal triumphs wi...th her own family, she was able to help us with all of the feelings of uncertainty that can arise in anyone's journey through this complicated process. Particularly, when dealing across multiple states. Thank you for all of your help Judith!- Newt & Christy

I can't recommend Judie enough to help you and your family with such a private, painstakingly confusing and time-consuming service. She has the added expertise of having worked in the medical field as a NICU nurse so I think that added experience really sets her apart from other lawyers, especially i...n this specialization. From our first conversation she was friendly and took the time to listen to me. She never once seemed in a hurry or that I was bothering her. She was great at communicating next steps and what she was going to do and what she needed from me. She always followed through with deadlines and checking in with me when she needed something that was time-sensitive. In the end, we were more than pleased with our contract and the process seemed seamless.
