MY RATING:

0.00

I am one of the few attorneys in the United States who specializes exclusively in the area of Family Formation Law. During law school I gained a passion for this field. I initially discovered this area of family planning by choosing to become an egg donor for several couples who desperately wanted a child. In doing so, I helped create numerous children for these families. It is through this very personal experience that my passion developed to become a Surrogacy & Egg Donation Attorney. My legal practice is dedicated to exclusively provide legal services in the area of creating families. My passion has not gone unnoticed; I am a nationally recognized expert in this specialized and unique area of law.
