Kind, Compassionate and Human

I called Judith Ann Hoechst for a consultation and was blown away by her generosity, compassion and advice. I look forward to the action steps that I can take with her help and would recommend her hands down to any parent to be.

Super easy to work with!

My husband and I worked with Judith and her team for our embryo donation. Judith is so kind and caring and she made our process extremely easy. She answered all of our questions without hesitation and is definitely knowledgeable in reproductive law. You can't go wrong by hiring Judith for your repr...oductive needs!

Wonderful Experience

I have been very blessed to have worked with Judith. She is very knowledgeable and was very helpful throughout the entire surrogacy contract process. She made every step easy and smooth.

Kind, Compassionate and All Around Wonderful

Judith has helped me through a contract as an egg donor. I have never worked with a lawyer before or on any legal contracts and I can say that I am very grateful to have had such a kind woman helping me through the process. She worked around my schedule, was very quick to answer my questions and went... above and beyond my expectations when investigating an issue on the contract. She reassured me through the whole process that she was on my side and I never once doubted that! Thank you Judith!

Warm, Honest, and Empthetic Reproductive Attorney

I was so blessed to work with Judith. Not only is she incredible intelligent and well versed in surrogacy law, she is a lovely and warm person. She goes above and beyond to answer any questions you have and make the process as smooth as possible. If you need a reproductive attorney hands down Judith ...is the woman to see. She is extremely responsive and is always willing to go the extra mile to make things go smoothly. I had a very tight deadline to get my surrogacy contract done and she made herself available day and night to assist me. I cannot thank her enough for making a very stressful process go smoothly and without difficulty. Thank you Judith!
