I got to work hand in hand with Jessie over the course of my case and there wasn’t a time I didn’t feel secure in the advice and recommendations that she gave me. I believe she was very effective in her work and she is very passionate about it, creating an environment where you feel like you are really being taken seriously. She is also very honest, and will tell you truthfully how hard some of the things you may be seeking will be to achieve while also giving you ideas of how you could make certain things easier on you and yours, or to pitch ideas you haven’t even thought about. If I could give more stars I would!

My husband and I attempted to use Notaro to draft a prenuptial agreement prior to our wedding. We had some unique aspects to our situation, and before agreeing to work with Notaro got confirmation from them that they had the experience and would be able to deal with those unique aspects. Unfortunately, that was not the case. There were many rounds of back and forth - we would explain what we wanted to have Notaro confirm they understood and would draft it up, only to have the draft not reflect what we had discussed. Ultimately we ended up drafting the language ourselves to ensure it was what we wanted and had Notaro review. Upon their review they made substantial changes without informing us of their impact, and did not even point to where in the document they had made changes without us asking. It is common practice for all legal edits to be done in redline to make sure adjustments to long, 50+ page documents, are easy to spot, but this was never once done with the Notaro group. We ultimately canceled our agreement, but despite failing to deliver the work they had affirmed they were capable of handling when we first approached them, we did not receive any meaningful reimbursement back. If there is anything even a bit unique about your situation, I would not recommend working with them.

I retained Attorney Jessyca McCarl for child custody. We wanted to relocate to a different state. The very first time that I spoke to Attorney McCarl, she was very informative and knowledgeable. I felt that I could trust her with my case. My case was an uphill battle, but Attorney McCarl did not give up. She fought very hard for my children and I. That did not go unnoticed. More importantly, I never had to reach out to Attorney McCarl to ask her about my case. She always kept me up to date on my case. If I had any questions, she always answered them truthfully. My children are a priority in my life, I trusted Attorney McCarl with my case, and she delivered. Attorney Jessyca McCarl has good vibes, a strong work ethic, she is very professional, and I can tell that she loves her career. I have no doubt that Attorney McCarl will continue to thrive, grow, and help families, like she helped mine. I will always remember her. We will now be moving to a new state, and we cannot wait to begin the next chapter in our lives. Thank you again Attorney McCarl, you are the absolute best!

I recently found myself in a tough spot, facing an eminent domain situation with the Turnpike planning to relocate a main road through my property. Feeling like I had no options, I reached out to Meyer Unkovic and Scott for legal advice. Frank called me back promptly, offering not only expert advice but also a sense of reassurance. When I first received the news early in the morning, I was anxious and hadn’t yet told my wife. Frank’s guidance helped me understand my situation better and prepare for that conversation with my wife. He advised me to explore all my options first, including assessing whether the Turnpike’s offer is fair and getting my property appraised to gain a better understanding of its value. I appreciated this approach because he didn’t push to sign me up right away or pushing for payment for the advice. He acknowledged that at this stage, he might not be able to assist fully and recommended I first determine if their offer is reasonable. He genuinely hoped I wouldn’t need to contact him again (in a good way) as it would mean the issue was resolved. However, he reassured me that if things didn’t work out, I could always reach out for his help.

If I could give her no stars, that would be more fitting. We hired Erica for an adoption case. She was very friendly and would answer immediately when we first began speaking with her last summer. We decided to hire her, and soon after - we weren't able to get a hold of her. Until finally, we didn't hear from her at all anymore. As we found out, she took a job elsewhere and just left the firm. Our case was one she dumped on the only other lawyer in the practice (the owner of the business) who lives in LA. He also got slammed with all the other cases that she decided not to continue with. We made an agreement on our case cost with Erica which we later found out she didn't specify in her general contract, so our agreement with her wasn't honored, and we ended up having to pay 1k more than we agreed. Not to mention, our case got put on a back burner b/c of the workload the remaining lawyer had, so it took us an entire year for the adoption to be complete. We waited 8 months after the court approval of termination of parental rights, just to get an adoption court date that worked with the lawyers schedule. Erica's assistant was the only reason our case got handled after everything. What Erica did was irresponsible, careless, and unprofessional. She left us feeling like we didn't matter and our case didn't matter, and left us all with a big mess to try and sort out. I would never recommend her to anyone.

I have been involved and a very intense custody case for quite sometime. I hired this lawyer after steadily using a different one for several years. When we first met with her she seemed competant. So we hired her to represent us. After we begin signing contracts she became a complete disappointment. I had very important things that needed to be filed in court and she never once did it on time. Things would come and go and continue to build up without her ever addressing issues that were brought to her attention. When we first met this lawyer and before we hired her she was not that difficult to get a hold of. However once again after we begin signing contracts she basically disappeared. The office telephone number goes directly to voicemail all day every day. You can leave a message but I assure you that no one will call you back. To this day I have called many times and have never once received a call back. She also provided an email which also suddenly became a useless line of communication. This goes on for months and months at a time. I can be understanding if someone doesn't immediately get back to you I can also be understanding if they can at least get back to you quickly and then get back to you more in depth later. But to not be able to get a hold of your attorney for months at a time is completely unacceptable. When you're in the middle of any custody case it is already difficult enough. And I'm also aware than dealing with lawyers sometimes that can be difficult as far as always getting an answer when you want it. But the link that this went with this attorney with absolutely positively ridiculous. We were never really given a reason except that she was sorry. That doesn't really help a person when you need them to be in court representing you. I would never rehire this attorney ever again.

What an Adoption Lawyer Can Do for You

An adoption lawyer specializes in navigating the legal complexities of the adoption process, ensuring that the rights of all parties involved - the adoptive parents, birth parents, and the child - are protected. They assist families through the different types of adoption, such as domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, and private adoptions. Adoption lawyers ensure that the adoption process complies with state, federal, and international laws, and handle any legal issues that may arise during the process, such as terminating parental rights, conducting home studies, and finalizing the adoption.

If you're looking to adopt or if you're a birth parent considering placing your child for adoption, an adoption lawyer can guide you through the legal requirements and ensure the process goes smoothly.

When Should I Hire an Adoption Lawyer?

You should consider hiring an adoption lawyer in the following situations:

  • Private or independent adoption: If you’re adopting a child directly from the birth parents without the involvement of an adoption agency, a lawyer is essential to draft and review all legal documents, including consent forms and parental rights termination agreements.
  • Foster care adoption: If you’re adopting a child from foster care, a lawyer can help navigate the legal process, ensure the child’s eligibility for adoption, and represent you in court to finalize the adoption.
  • Stepparent or relative adoption: If you’re adopting a stepchild or a relative, a lawyer can assist in terminating the parental rights of the biological parent and ensure the adoption is completed legally and efficiently.
  • International adoption: International adoptions are complex, involving multiple layers of laws from the U.S. and the child’s birth country. A lawyer can help navigate immigration requirements and ensure compliance with international treaties like the Hague Convention.
  • Contested adoptions: If a birth parent changes their mind about the adoption or there is a dispute over parental rights, a lawyer can represent you in court and ensure that the adoption proceeds legally.
  • Adoption for same-sex couples: If you're a same-sex couple looking to adopt, a lawyer can help ensure that your adoption complies with state laws and that both parents have equal legal rights to the child.
  • Birth parent representation: If you’re a birth parent considering adoption, a lawyer can ensure that your rights are protected, help you understand the legal implications of terminating parental rights, and ensure that your decision is legally sound.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help avoid legal complications and ensure that the adoption is legally finalized as smoothly as possible.

What Does an Adoption Lawyer Do?

An adoption lawyer provides a variety of legal services, ensuring that the adoption process is completed in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Filing legal paperwork: Adoption lawyers handle all the necessary paperwork, including petitions to terminate parental rights, consent forms, and final adoption decrees. They ensure that the adoption is in line with state, federal, and international laws.
  • Conducting home studies: Some adoptions require a home study to evaluate the prospective adoptive family. While a social worker usually conducts the study, a lawyer can ensure that the process complies with legal requirements and that the report is submitted correctly.
  • Terminating parental rights: Lawyers assist in terminating the legal rights of the biological parents, either voluntarily through signed consent or involuntarily through court proceedings if necessary.
  • Representing clients in court: Adoption lawyers represent adoptive parents, birth parents, or other parties in court hearings to finalize the adoption or resolve disputes.
  • Navigating international adoption laws: For international adoptions, a lawyer helps ensure that all legal requirements, both in the U.S. and the child’s home country, are met, including securing the child’s visa and citizenship.
  • Providing legal advice: Adoption lawyers guide clients through each step of the adoption process, advising them on their rights and obligations, as well as any potential legal issues that may arise.
  • Drafting post-adoption agreements: In some cases, especially open adoptions, a lawyer can help draft post-adoption agreements that specify the level of contact between the adoptive and birth parents.

How Are Adoption Lawyers Paid?

Adoption lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the adoption and the time involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: Many adoption lawyers charge a flat fee for handling the entire adoption process. This is common for straightforward adoptions, such as stepparent or foster care adoptions, where the legal work is relatively predictable.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex adoptions, such as contested or international adoptions, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $200 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Retainer: In cases where the adoption process may take longer or involve more legal work (e.g., termination of parental rights or court disputes), a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront, so you understand the total cost of the adoption and any additional expenses that may arise during the process.

How Much Does an Adoption Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring an adoption lawyer depends on the type of adoption and the complexity of the case. General cost estimates include:

  • Stepparent or relative adoption: Legal fees for these types of adoptions typically range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on whether the adoption is contested or requires a court hearing.
  • Domestic private adoption: The legal fees for a private adoption usually range from $5,000 to $10,000, including drafting documents, terminating parental rights, and finalizing the adoption in court.
  • International adoption: International adoptions are generally more expensive, with legal fees ranging from $7,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the adoption and the child’s country of origin.
  • Contested adoption: If the adoption is contested and involves court disputes, legal fees may range from $10,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the length and complexity of the court proceedings.

In addition to lawyer fees, adoptive parents should also be aware of additional costs such as court filing fees, home study fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).

Top Questions to Ask an Adoption Lawyer

Before hiring an adoption lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and knowledge to handle your case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with adoptions?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience with the specific type of adoption you’re pursuing, whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, or stepparent adoption.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a flat fee or hourly rate and ask for a detailed breakdown of the costs involved in your adoption.
  3. What are the legal requirements for my adoption?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the legal steps involved in your adoption and any specific requirements that may apply to your case, such as home studies or parental consent.
  4. How long will the adoption process take?
    Adoption timelines can vary depending on the type of adoption, so ask the lawyer for an estimate of how long the process will take, including any potential delays.
  5. What are the common challenges in adoption cases?
    Ask about any potential legal challenges that could arise during the adoption process and how the lawyer plans to address them.
  6. Will I need to go to court?
    Depending on the adoption, you may need to attend court hearings. Ask the lawyer whether your presence will be required and what to expect during these hearings.
  7. Can you help with post-adoption issues?
    Ask the lawyer if they can assist with any post-adoption issues, such as obtaining the child’s birth certificate, finalizing the child’s U.S. citizenship (for international adoptions), or drafting post-adoption contact agreements.

How to Check the Credibility of an Adoption Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable adoption lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions on their record.
  • Look for adoption experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in adoption law and have experience handling cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on adoption cases.
  • Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for lawyers who are members of adoption-focused organizations like the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys (AAAA), which can indicate their expertise in this field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your first consultation with an adoption lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Information about the child and birth parents: Provide any available information about the child you’re adopting (e.g., age, country of origin, current living situation) and the birth parents, if applicable.
  • Adoption preferences: Be clear about the type of adoption you’re pursuing - whether it’s domestic, international, foster care, stepparent, or private - and discuss any preferences you have regarding the child’s age, background, or special needs.
  • Legal documents (if applicable): If you’ve already begun the adoption process or have signed any agreements, bring copies of all relevant legal documents, such as consent forms or agency agreements.
  • Questions about the adoption process: Prepare a list of questions about the legal steps involved in your adoption, potential timelines, and any concerns you may have about the process.
  • Financial considerations: Be ready to discuss your budget for legal fees and any additional costs, such as home studies, court fees, and travel expenses (for international adoptions).

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for your adoption journey.
