Rest Assured

I am an out-of-state intended parent via surrogacy who was referred to Ginny by my surrogacy agency. From the start, she was informative, responsive, and personable. Ginny provided more time than I expected to walk me through the complexity of the surrogacy contracts, helped me negotiate some very ...sensitive terms, and advocated for me every step of the way. She has continued to touch base with me in between legal milestones. She's gone above and beyond other surrogacy attorneys I've worked with. As a tough critic of any professional service provider, I highly recommend working with Ginny.

Great Adoption Attorney

I highly recommend Virginia Frank for any cases you might have in Adoption matters, especially those across state lines. She has been doing adoption for over 20 years. She is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain all the legal in's and out's no matter how long it takes. I really appreci...ated her patience and availability even on weekends.

Excellent Adoption Attorney

Ginny is the best of the best. She is a member of the prestigious American Academy of Adoption attorneys. She provides great service, a good sense of humor and kindness, and superior competency in this important area of law

Egg Donor Nightmare

I signed up to be an egg donor via a company called Loving Donation. We were months into the process when shortly after I emailed the company requesting to be reimbursed for a prescription, they completely stopped ALL contact with me. I called and emailed repeatedly. I was so alarmed, I reached out t...o Virginia and she responded so quickly and was so 'on it' that she got an IMMEDIATE response from the company. She knew exactly what to do. I got paid my donor money as well as reimbursed for the prescription medication. I still feel confident that if I didn't reach out to Ginny I would not have been compensated for being an egg donor.

adoption lawyer

Ms. Frank charged twice as much as other adoption lawyers and delivered nothing. She forgot to get the birthfather to sign off, she did not look at the social worker report, and she charged more for the things she messed up on. I would drive a million miles away from her and go for Mike, he knows w...hat he is doing and is fair in terms of cost. Virginia is not a competent attoney, but charges more to make you think she is. Don't do it.

Replied last May 11, 2015

I'm really sorry that this client was unhappy. I'm surprised with such a great outcome the client complained. I understand that many clients can not afford higher fees. However, I limit my practice to Adoption and Reproductive Technology Law and have done over 3500+ adoptions, many between the 50 States. I have experience dealing with difficult cases and out of the ordinary fact patterns as each case is completely different. I love helping others and wish nothing more than my clients to be reassured that I am competent in this area of law in which I have dedicated my life.

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.
