We pride ourselves on being passionate advocates and counselors who apply our technical and substantive legal skills both effectively and empathetically.
Our team is uniquely positioned as a one stop approach as we also offer tailored estate planning services necessary for family building through assisted reproduction. For our New York clients, documents are drafted to comply with the Child-Parent Security Act, which legalized and guides surrogacy journeys in New York State along all with clinic and agency requirements.
Growing your family using third-party reproduction can require sacrifice and devotion that many do not experience when becoming parents.
