ADOPTION / NON-PARENT CUSTODY MATTERS
During my years in law practice I handled numerous private adoptions. Over the years I was retained by each possible side in different adoptions: representing the mother giving up the child, grandparents, the adoptive parents and the child. As a mediator I stand in the middle of each of the interested parties, helping them to resolve issues which arise in adoptions. I have an adopted child. This is an area where I have a wealth of experience.
