Highly recommend

Marc Gradstein has a gift of incredible intuition when it comes to timing and intimidation . He successfully represented us as we went up against the State of California to fight to receive our adoptive daughter . He did the footwork necessary to bring our daughter into our arms. I have total confi...dence that he'd do the same for you. He's tough as nails with a heart of gold.

Adoption lawyer

Marc was an exceptionally kind,thorough lawyer who handled my adoptions with expertise and caring. I had dropped to two sisters 15 months apart and he not only counseled us and found the birth mother but he accompanied us to adoption day so that we filed everything perfectly. I have recommended h...im to many of my pediatric patients and infertile friends

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.
