Helping Grow Families

Jodi represented us during the adoption of our daughter and so long as she will continue to have us she will represent us forever! The adoption process can be scary, intimidating, heart wrenching, confusing, and so much more but with Jodi as your counsel it is bearable! In fact there were times when ...we were able to forget about the process and just be a family because Jodi was on the front line playing interference for us. I could write a book about what an impact she has had on our family and what a truly terrific person she is. Instead I will simply say that the my husband and I have gained a world class friend. The Beaver family is a family because of the skill and commitment of Jodi Felice.

Great Experience

Jodi was great with our adoption case. This was our first adoption and she was amazing at explaining the process and made sure we understood and felt completely comfortable. It was a great experience. As foster to adopt foster parents we will be using her again no doubt, if we are lucky enough to be ...able to adopt another kiddo. Thanks Jodi for all of your work. Not only is she a great lawyer but we could tell she is an equally great person from our interaction with her. Glad we were able to share our special day with you!

Jodi Felice is the best there is.

Jodi Felice is an excellent lawyer. If you are looking for an adoption attorney, please do your family and yourself a favor and look no further. Jodi is professional, smart, kind, and efficient. Every adoption has its uncertainties, and Jodi was by far the "rock" we needed to navigate us through the ...many twists. Jodi consistently went above and beyond, making a stressful experience easier for us. Not only will you be hiring an expert attorney, you will also be working with a genuinely lovely person. We were always confident knowing she was working for us. With many choices out there, we strongly endorse of Jodi Felice.

Jodi is amazing!

My husband and I came to Jodi for help with our step parent adoption. We were kind of scared because the courts gave her birth father rights to her with no paternity test or anything like that done and they put into place a parenting plan I'd made when she was 16 weeks old. Jodi and her team are awes...ome! She put our minds at ease and answered all questions. She kept us up to date with every step of the process and worked fast and effeciently to get our adoption done. October 19th, 2015 my husband legally became our daughter's daddy and we couldn't be happier or thank Jodi enough!!

Jodi is Fantastic!

I contacted Mark Iverson's office to retain an adoption attorney, and we were assigned to Jodi. I had heard many positives, and she did a great job explaining the process to me during our initial contact. She sent out the fee letter in a timely manner, and we were on our way. In early March I sent an... email to update her on where we were at in the process and asked if she could coordinate some special requests for our finalization. We had a few delays on our end, and I panicked a bit that we wouldn't be able to finalize on the day we had planned. Jodi was reassuring, and because she had already coordinated our requests things moved forward for us quickly and on time. We met with her about a week before finalization to sign the paperwork. She did a great job explaining what we were signing and how court would work. She gave us enough privacy to review the documents together, while still checking in with us to make sure we didn't have any questions. Before leaving she asked if we had pictures of the children, and I proudly showed her photos. It's those little things that really mean a lot to a family. She was so wonderful on adoption day too. She had asked if it would be ok to ask the kids some questions, and they warmed up to her quickly. I have some cute photos of them chatting with her. She made us all feel very comfortable, and she even took pictures to share with us! I just cannot say enough good things about her. She eliminated any stress I had about the legal piece, and I would definitely choose Jodi again if our family adopted more children.
