Excellent representation

Seth Grob provided us with excellent representation in a very challenging case. Seth's knowledge of applicable law is extensive and he has a great rapport with adoption agencies, magistrates, judges and other counsel. Even more importantly, Seth is patient, he listens and spends as much time as my... husband and I needed discussing issues. He came up with creative ideas and solutions, and encouraged us to keep going when we felt defeated. Seth is also empathetic. Our case involved an emotional roller coaster and he was always available and sympathetic. His advice was spot on and the resolution he helped devise to our problem changed our life. I can say that without a doubt, my husband and I would not have been able to achieve success without Seth's assistance. We are very grateful to Seth for all his help. He is the consummate professional and I highly recommend him.

Amazing and knowledgeable

I had a very unusual circumstance (like most of us needing a family lawyer). I was caring for my nephew for 2 years and was ready to take full custody from his birth parents. I was put in contact with Mr. Grob's law office by the Rocky Mountain Child Advocacy and boy they pointed me in the right dire...ction. Seth was extremely focused and determined since our very first interaction. He explained the process thoroughly and gave accurate timelines. Not once did he skip a detail or hide anything from me which is exactly what you need in someone you are trusting your future with. Seth was constantly in contact and constantly working on my case even despite the MANY roadblocks we encountered. I was an emotional mess anytime something came up that could potentially prevent me from adopting (Other family members objecting and taking me to court, not being able to locate one of the parents). After court date and court date and Seth winning at every turn for me, we reached our final court date this year in which we won adoption!! There was no way without his dedication, straight forward thinking, compassion, focus and overall sheer will power that my adoption would have succeeded. He truly is amazing lawyer and I would recommend ANYONE that needs someone to help them out!

Extremely helpful with our dual-state complicated surrogacy

I found Seth online and chose him based on high reviews and years of experience. I live in NC but my surrogate lives in Colorado and I needed someone to help us through our complicated situation because we failed to prepare ourselves legally prior to conception. Seth was able to answer our many que...stions, give us options on how to best proceed with the legal work for our surrogacy, and even provided assistance when additional matters came up through the hospital and local DSS after the birth of our son. Thanks to Seth and his paralegal Ondine, we were able to bring our baby home to NC in a matter of days with ease. Each interaction we had was pleasant and professional and we appreciate everything they did for us during the process.

Professional, Reliable Attorney

My husband and I worked with Seth for the adoption of our daughter, which was finalized in September. We are now working with him on our second adoption as well. He is incredibly quick to respond and makes himself available to answer questions. Moreover, Seth is always looking out for our best intere...sts. With both adoptions, we've had unusual financial situations arise with other parties (not Seth, but other lawyers and agencies) and Seth has always been quick to advise us and made it apparent that our best interest was his number one priority. He is direct, which my husband and I find refreshing and gives the facts without telling us what we should do. It is clear that his role is to give us all the information possible, while respecting our right to make the ultimate decision. We have truly enjoyed working with him for the past year and a half.

An Honest, Efficient, Responsive Attorney

I consulted with Seth for my consideration of relinquishing parental rights of my adopted children. I first e-mailed him, and he was very quick and responsive, although it was understandable that he could not discuss in details via e-mail. I called to schedule a consultation, and was surprised that h...e answered the phone. It was refreshing to have an attorney so accessible. He told me he would have a meeting in a few minutes and had me talk with his assistant. She was very friendly and tried to schedule me as soon as possible. Then, when I called later, Seth again answered the phone. Before the consultation, he had gone through the information I provided him earlier. He then gave me a thorough introduction of the process. He made very honest and realistic analysis that my case would be very difficult (nearly impossible). He was not condescending as some reviews mentioned. I found him informative, efficient, and looking out for my best interest. He addressed my questions (I had many) in a very efficient, easy to understand fashion. I never once felt that he tried to promise the world or to convince me to retain him. Unlike many people who instantly become judgmental when they hear adoptive parents relinquishing parental rights, he was not judgmental at all and was matter of fact. I was very comfortable talking with him. I appreciate his honesty. I will certainly go to him in the future if I need help related to adoption matters.
