Wonderful experience - professional, genuine, responsive, knowledgeable

We had a wonderful experience working with Dylan Tarnoff during our surrogacy journey. He handled the legal documents for parental establishment with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. From the very beginning, Dylan was kind, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable in his field. He com...municated quickly and clearly, always making sure we understood each step of the process. What truly stood out was how he went above and beyond — regularly checking in with us to ensure we felt comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the entire journey. Surrogacy can feel overwhelming at times, but Dylan made the legal side smooth and stress-free. His pricing was also very reasonable, especially given the high level of service and attention he provided. We’re so grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Tarnoff Family Formation to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate family lawyer.

Highly recommend!!

Dylan and his team were very professional and the process for generating and finalizing the legal agreement with our egg donor was very smooth. We would highly recommend reaching out to him for any legal services he offers.

Recommendation for Dylan

It was great working with Dylan, and we felt we were at the right hands throughout our surrogacy journey with them. Dylan is a true professional that helped navigating complex situations with compassion, great communication and care. We'll definitely work with Dylan again in the future!

Thank you Dylan

We are so happy to have this platform so we can recommend working with Dylan! We hired Dylan services during our surrogacy journey and we couldn't ask for a better lawyer. Dylan took care of the legal contract between us and the surrogate, the pre-birth order and the post-birth order. Our case was a... bit difficult as we needed to run legal procedures in 3 different countries with different legal requirements, Dylan took care of everything and made sure everything is going smooth so we can focus on the baby and learning how to be parents. Dylan crafted a great contract that was fair for both sides (surrogacy processes are usually very emotional and sensitive) and all the aspects of the process were covered in a very professional way. Dylan, we want to thank you from the bottom of our heart!

Highly recommend working with Dylan

Dylan represented my partner and me in obtaining a pre-birth order for parentage. He was clear about what documentation he needed, his pricing, and what to expect. Everything went smoothly without surprises. Beyond being a great lawyer, Dylan is a great communicator. With my job I find it difficul...t to find time to talk on the phone, and Dylan was more than willing to work over email, which I preferred.
