About Joel
Biography
PRACTICE LIMITED TO ADOPTION LAW for over 37 years. (Step-Parent, Grandparent, Adult, and other Family & Relative adoptions, International and Infant Adoptions) I would like to thank you for the possible opportunity to help you. There is no cost to speak with me.
I absolutely love to help people. Assisting with adoptions allows me to help everyone involved in the adoption process. In addition to newborn . Kirsh & Kirsh has assisted with thousands of adoptions of every type.
I am also very experienced with Assisted Reproductive Technology Law including Gestational Carrier arrangements and other Surrogacy related matters.
I met my wonderful wife, Holly, at a fitness facility. We got engaged exactly 4 months after our first date and we have been married for 30 years (as of June, 2018). We have three great children (ages 16-25): Trevor, Olivia and Harrison and two “energetic” Golden Doodles: Jack and Zoey.
I love spending time with my family and friends and enjoy playing many sports including basketball, golf, tennis and working out. I am a huge fan of Indiana University Basketball and Football as well as the Indianapolis Colts and Indiana Pacers.
I look forward to hearing from you

Adopted parents
When our daughter was born in 1994 on a weekend, Joel was our guy we met with to get the paper work going. Joel was a great guy! The nerves of new parents were calmed by him. Thanks Joel and staff for all you do!

Joel David Kirsh's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Kirsh provides a much-needed service on Avvo and donates time to individuals who are in need of immediate legal answers."
"I have worked with Joel Kirsh on a number of interstate adoptions over the past 20 years. Interstate adoptions are very complicated and require a high level of expertise in the area of adoption law. I trust Joel completely, find him to be extremely compentent, compassionate and diligent. I look forward to working with Joel and everyone at Kirsh & Kirsh again in the future."
"Adoptive parents will have a hard time finding someone more caring, compassionate, understanding and hard working. I am a friend but have also been able to observe him in court and his interactions with families. This is your lawyer."
