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

"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."
