Everyone at Stuart & Blackwell was truly amazing! They made our adoption process smooth, easy, and very *under*whelming (in a good way). They were organized, communicative, professional, and we felt well taken care of throughout every part of the process. We will absolutely be using them again for ou...r future adoption AND estate planning needs. Thank you so much!!

I used Stuart & Blackwell on the recommendation of my social worker for the adoption of my son in Arizona. Being across the country and way out of my state and jurisdiction, I wasn't sure what to expect. From the minute I connected with them they were kind, organized and responsive. They kept me a...pprised throughout the TPR process with status and files for my record, and made the process smooth and easy. I felt they were extremely knowledgeable and capable. Most of all they were personable and I felt genuinely cared about me, my son and the birth mom. Hands down one of the best providers I've ever encountered, legal or otherwise. Highly recommend!

My family recently went through a complex adoption process, and I can't express enough gratitude for Kristy and her team at Stuart & Blackwell. As my husband and I sought to have him adopt my daughters from a previous relationship, their biological father initially objected. This created a lengthy an...d emotionally charged situation. Kristy and her team were an unwavering pillar of support throughout this ordeal. They were always accessible, readily answering phone calls and promptly responding to emails. From their professionalism to their genuine care, it was evident they were invested in our family's well-being. Their expertise and dedication were critical in reaching a favorable outcome. What truly impressed me was Kristy's commitment to a fair resolution for everyone involved. Her guidance and tireless efforts ultimately convinced my ex-husband to consent to the adoption, allowing our daughters to share our family name. This means the world to us. Kristy and her team exceeded expectations at every turn. They are not just legal professionals; they are advocates for families facing challenging situations. If you're looking for a legal team that goes the extra mile, look no further than Kristy and her team. Their dedication, expertise, and compassion truly make them stand out.

I want to start off with every single person in this office is unbelievably kind and genuinely have your best interests at heart. My wife and I are a same sex couple who needed a lawyer for the adoption of our son. We did a lot of research to find not only a good lawyer but an accepting, non judgment...al lawyer as well for our adoption and when we called to speak with Kristy for the consultation she made us feel so comfortable and prioritized, we were honestly stunned. We called her right before we got pregnant just for information on the process and she gave us all the information we needed- plus some and we knew when we hung up, she was it. When the time came to start the process 9 months later not only her but everyone in the office made things so simple, quick, stress free, and easy. We are still stunned this process was as simple as it was. Anyways, I truly cannot say enough good things about specifically Kristy, Kylie and Sharlesa. We wouldnt have wanted any other firm to be the leaders of this process for us. We are so thankful and so floored with the kindness given. Thank you all so much from the bottom of our hearts and please if you need services from this lawfirm, do it! You will not regret that choice, they will give you the attention you need and care you didn't expect.

I retained Kristy after 3+ years of spinning my wheels down the adoption path. It can be a very confusing and overwhelming process. With just the consultation alone, Kristy was so helpful delineating the many steps in this process. She also helped me understand my options so that I could make info...rmed choices. When it came time to finalize my adoption, Kristy and her office staff were amazing. They kept me informed while expediting the process, and making me feel reassured and valued. I can't say enough good things and strongly recommend Kristy to help you with your adoption journey. I would say I wish I would have reached out to her earlier, but things ended up the way they were supposed to. My baby is so perfect! Had I reached out earlier, however, I probably would have eliminated a lot of tears and frustration along the way.
