As an adoptive mom and an attorney, I understand how it feels to sit on both sides of the table. I know what it's like to place your private hopes in someone else’s hands and become part of a process you can’t always control. But I also know that there are happy endings – when I hear my daughter and son laugh, the rest of the world disappears. That’s why I practice adoption law.
I handle every adoption as if it were my own. My goal is to give you the information you need to make decisions confidently, and to walk beside you through the process of building your family. You are entitled to the peace of mind that comes with the competent, careful management of the legal aspects of adoption. You are also entitled to a lawyer who understands that this is probably the most challenging experience of your life.
My clients have my home and cell phone numbers and are instructed to use them whenever necessary. I am also available for client meetings outside regular business hours and at locations other than my office. If you are ready to begin the adoption process, I invite you to call or email me to schedule a consultation.
Whether or not you choose to work with me, I hope this website will be a helpful resource.
