Jennifer S Fairfax

Jennifer has been my lawyer for 2 surrogacy journeys now!! She is the best and I would highly recommend her to any other surrogate looking for a lawyer that is going to look out for you! She had mine and my families best interest at heart and has been so easy to work with!!

I used Jennifer for my surrogacy contract. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about surrogacy. The process was quick and easy with her. I would definitely use Jennifer again!

Jennifer and Catelyn were both so great to work with. Our adoption finalization went smoothly without any problems. Catelyn even pushed to get our court date scheduled before the end of the calendar year so we could take advantage of the adoption tax credit. Jennifer was very helpful when we encountered some trouble with adding our son to our health insurance. So glad we chose them!

4,000 characters cannot scratch the surface of the impact that Jennifer Fairfax has had on our lives. My husband and I have been blessed with two beautiful children, whom we love more than life itself, and that would not have happened without Jennifer. We first approached her about adopting in 2015, and she has been with us every step of the way since. Adopting, especially for same-sex couples, is a difficult, long, and emotional process. Jennifer prepared us for each step with direct, expert, and compassionate counsel. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the adoption laws of all 50 states, especially as concerns issues facing a same-sex couples, and she anticipates issues that despite our diligence, we would had never imagined. Beyond her professional excellence, Jennifer brings a clear and caring approach to her work that includes counseling about what to expect upon meeting birth parents for the first time, interacting at the hospital before placement, and managing relationships with birth families, adoption agencies, social workers, and government entities, all of which play important roles in the adoption process. Few lawyers (myself included) have done the good that Jennifer has with her career. We could not more highly recommend her and her practice to anyone interested in building a family!

Jennifer was great. She was prompt with her communication and I truly felt like she had my best interest in mind for the duration of our relationship.

Jennifer and her team were extremely knowledgeable in our situation. Everyone in her team was courteous and kept me up to date as to what was going on with my case, as well as what the next steps were going to be. It was a seamless process especially since I had the notion going in that this adoption would take a long time. Their team is a well oiled machine and I highly recommend them to anyone in the future, especially to the LGBT community.

We used Jennifer for our adoption this year and found her to be invaluable in our search for an agency. She helped us narrow down our search based on our particular circumstances, which saved us hours of time and anxiety. She was supportive, helped us solve a few problems along the way and was a good steward of our funds. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Jennifer was an amazing partner during my adoption. She answered all of my questions quickly and was extremely knowledgeable regarding the adoption process and all legal aspects. She also helped me AFTER the adoption even though she was not obligated! I would definitely recommend working with her for any of your adoption needs!

We consulted with Jennifer on our path to parenthood and she was a great early resource of information as we were getting our arms wrapped around the process. We hired her to help with the local aspects of our journey, but ultimately needed her to refer us to attorneys in two other jurisdictions. Based on our work with those attorneys, it was clear that Jennifer was well-known and respected in the field. When we hit hiccups in the process in other jurisdictions, we relied on Jennifer as a sounding board to help us think through the process and our options, and relied upon her sage advice. In telling our family story to friends and colleagues in DC, I have run across other families who worked with her, and have yet to run into anyone who doesn't love her.

Jennifer Fairfax and Catelyn Slattery Are the best family lawyers they help me in every step of the way ... if anyone is out there to get a lawyer she is the right one and the best one .. love you both Jennifer Fairfax and Catelyn Slattery

My husband used Jennifer for a gestational carrier in VA while we live in NJ. I am so glad we used her! She will go the extra mile for you, is always reachable and is willing to hold your hand through difficult processes. Fairly priced and does not nickle and dime you when you continue to ask a million questions. Understanding, knowledgeable, reliable and friendly. You can't go wrong with her and her team.

Jennifer Fairfax and Catelyn Slattery in the same office handled the adoption of my two stepsons in Maryland. Their experience and expertise in this domain, their care for their clients and responsiveness made this an efficient, smooth and painless process, and we owe them our gratitude for assisting us in making our family whole. I unequivocally recommend their services.

Jennifer and Catelyn are both fantastic! Very knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive when we had questions. We will be using them again for the next adoption!

Jennifer Fairfax was very thorough and prompt with her communications, both email and phone. She made sure that I understood everything in my contract and took the time to answer any questions that I had.

My wife and I worked with Jennifer Fairfax in 2012-2013. We relocated from Florida to complete our second/step parent adoption process. Married in 2010, but not yet considered legally married nation-wide, we knew a legal adoption was necessary to protect our family. Jennifer was great to work with in person, and electronically. Contract drafts back and forth via email, always a prompt response to our questions, a true delight and attention to detail ... always. We are now expecting baby 2 and would whole-heartedly recommend Jennifer Fairfax to anyone who has questions or is looking to protect their family via legal parentage.
