Adoption
Adopting a child is an exciting milestone – but one that also comes with immense legal considerations. The paperwork alone can be overwhelming. In contested cases, litigation may be necessary to terminate parental rights and clear the way for you to adopt. Both contested and uncontested cases require meticulous attention to detail.
