As an attorney myself, I come across a gentleman like Don every once in a while. The legal profession is a better place because of people like him. Kind, considerate, passionate, knowledgable, with a touch of humanity necessary for dealing with difficult issues and circumstances. I highly recommend him!

He was a great help, and is very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and walked us through the process of getting guardianship of our foster son, we recommend him to anyone who need help with adoption or guidance in gain guardianship.

We hired Don for help with the process and finalization of a private domestic adoption. He was always quick to respond and highly knowledgeable on the subject. We would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I reached out to Donald regarding international adoptions. He was very prompt in calling back and finding information regarding my case. Even though he was unable to further help me regarding my case (He has done adoptions but in my particular case the international aspect requires a more specialized approach) he was able to find out information/recommend me to an international adoption agency he has used in the past. I truly thank him for taking the time to point me the right way. If I have any other issues regarding family court, I will reach out to him!

Don was so helpful — spending over 20 minutes of his time discussing my adoption issue and suggesting the best next steps for me. I would definitely reach out to him in the future for advice.

I hired Attorney Sherer to validate the adoption of my daughter in the state of Connecticut. I needed the validation done quickly to complete the immigration process for my daughter. The whole validation process took only a matter of weeks and included an expedited petition for court hearing (which was granted) and a video hearing in which my petition was granted. I couldn't imagine a better experience. If you have an adoption issue in Connecticut and need to hire an attorney, Mr. Sherer would be a great choice. He knows the law (in fact he wrote part of the state statute himself when he served as a state legislator) and the judges well. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I have been a GC multiple times and every time we’ve used Attorney Sherer the process was smooth and easy! Surrogacy contracts and pre birth orders aren’t something that family courts deal with routinely, and having an attorney that is knowledgeable about the process was so important! In one of the cases, Attorney Sherer even had to advise the judge on what to do because he’d never done one before. While it’s not always the case, twice he even made it possible for us to leave The court house with our legal documents THE SAME DAY! And even made extra certified copies at the court house so we could have them for the IPs, hospital, consulate, and to bring home to the state the IPs lived in. If you’re navigating the surrogacy process, hire someone who knows Connecticut laws and can help make a stressful process smooth.

We had a dual state, non relative adoption, of a child we had already had custody of, which can be very tricky. Don found an agency that would work with us to make our adoption possible. Although the process was very lengthy, Don was always there to walk us through the process and was quick to answer any of our questions. I would recommend him to anyone needing an adoption lawyer.

My husband & I were starting the process of possible adoption or surrogacy and thought meeting with an attorney was the best place to begin. After some research, we decided to meet w/ Attorney Sherer and so glad we did. He has an amazing amount of knowledge and experience to share. His very warm and engaging personality instantly put us at ease as he addressed all of our questions. He set us on the right path with solid answers and a few referrals. We highly recommend Attorney Sherer for all things adoption and surrogacy.

Had a phone conversation with Attorney Sherer & he was extremely helpful, polite & answered all my questions I had for him. I highly recommend him for your legal needs.
