Peace of mind

Rennie was great at especially being thorough with “grey” areas of the adoption she did for us. I highly recommend her, she makes sure she knows what can go on and let’s her clients know that. When she meets with us, I don’t feel rushed even though I know how busy she is.

Posted by Amber | October 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Adoption

We highly recommend Rennie

We retained Rennie as our attorney for our step-parent adoption case and she did a great job. Ms. Polidora was quick to respond when I had questions and was very prompt with all of our requests and filings. We highly recommend Ms. Polidora as she was strong, attentive, and well spoken in court. Furth...ermore, her fee was very fair for all of the work that she did for us in our SUCCESSFUL step-parent adoption case. We can't thank her enough for what she has done for us.
