Adoption

My wife and I had a very difficlut case which involved a guardianship, termination of parental rights and finally the adoption. We also required no state or county agency involvement during our termination of parental rights. This case was incredibly convoluted spanning many counties and law enforc...ement agencies. BJ was responsive, determined and focused on our goal. BJ achieved all of our requests achieving more than desired results. Affordable, reliant, responsive with a dogmatic work ethic-SIMPLY THE BEST.

Avvo Rating

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.
