Troy Moore was extremely helpful to my family during very difficult times. After my father passed, he guided us through the challenging and confusing probate process. When my mother passed a year later, he again provided excellent help and support with our estate issues. Like most people, I had no idea how to settle my parents' accounts and deal with all the other legal issues involved when someone dies, so I cannot thank Troy enough for his work and support. He was always available to answer questions, clearly explained everything that we needed to do, and was always prompt and efficient with everything. I highly recommend consulting with Mr. Moore for any estate planning and related problems!

Ms. Lacey and her time have been solid. Thus far from what I see, granted I’m no expert, I feel comfortable and safe in a court room with Ms Lacey in my corner and will continue to use her services in the future.

I am beyond grateful for being represented by Lacey. She is a class act. The other side was out for blood. My ex is an attorney, and they tried all the dirty tricks in the book. But, it was all for nothing. I feel very strongly that if I went with another attorney my outcome would have been substantially different. Thank you, Lacey!

Jonathan is a great lawyer! I had been trying to get a divorce for three years and he was able to help me finalize it in a few months. He did what my previous lawyer could not do in years! He is also a very empathetic lawyer and is truly always there to help his clients.

They say first impressions are important and Jonathan Fox made a huge first impression and reflected it throughout the process. Prior to signing with him on the initial call, he spoke to me in detail despite it being after working hours to help me understand the process. He is very professional, articulates well, responds promptly, and ALWAYS puts his clients first. I couldn't be happier to have Jonathan represent me in my legal matter now and in the future.

I retained representation with Ms. Carrillo in matters related to division of property and drafting of my Will. Maira took time to know me as a person so as to better serve me as a client. Her work ethic is impression, and the outcomes were all that I could have hoped. Above all, Ms. Carrillo and her staff kept me informed of all matters related to billing -- I always knew how my money was being spent, and the use of my time and money was always handled efficiently, professionally, and with transparency.
I highly recommend engaging Ms. Carrillo when you need an attorney in your corner. You can't go wrong!

I work on Family Law cases as a mental health expert. JoAl Sheridan is one of the best attorneys in Travis and Williamson counties. When my clients ask me for referrals, her name is on my "top five list". She is dedicated to her clients. She takes their concerns to heart and conscientiously advocates for them and their children. She does not unnecessarily take issues into the courtroom, but is not afraid to enter that realm if the case warrants such action.

I am beyond thankful for the Kersh Team. They worked a lot of long hours for our case, and worked with me during some very difficult seasons, showing just how much they cared and were listening by the choices they made and how hard they were willing to advocate not only for my little one, but for our whole family, bc we had been through a lot already and it was with their guidance and inspiring fierce attitude that married together with guidance from God that I truly believe we were able to end this year in a peaceful mediation. It was an honor having Christian represent me. As we went throughout the process I was honored to witness such a fierce, collected, professional, and powerful feminine figure. One that will inspire me to model and grow moving forward. I thank God for a process that seemed in the longest moments, at times hopeless, was all meant for a bigger purpose that turned into what was promised of a hope and a future, maturity, and us as a team to victory. I knew from the moment I met the team that they were the one I was led to, that exceeded my expectations and more by treating our family with grace, patience, were wonderful to work with, mindful of our needs and concerns, and truly worked hard for the good of us. Thank you, truly from the bottom of my heart with no expectation for anything in return, I genuinely wanted to publicly thank you for how good you were from the start to us. 🙏 You are loved and appreciated more than you can possibly fathom! 🤍 Forever grateful! ♾️ God is truly good! ✝️

Shane Kersh is an excellent lawyer that is very aggressive in the courtroom. He and his team are compassionate about you winning your case. They will listen to your concerns, they will be there for you anytime you need legal advice along the way, etc. They are very informative and take the time to explain things.
I used Shane Kersh and his team for a child custody case and got exactly what I wanted- primary custody so I can keep my daughter safe. I am so happy I went with them- worth every penny. They were such a valuable asset in navigating my child custody case. I would not have been able to do it without them. I had shopped around for lawyers and no one was willing to help me- except Shane Kersh and his team. Super thankful for them!

This firm was excellent to work with on my son's criminal mischief case. They are all extremely thorough and provided the persistence necessary to overcome the many challenges and inconsistencies within the juvenile court system. Through no fault of the firm, it took nearly 9 months to get his case resolved and they stay close and communicative with me every step of the way. Jeremy was able to get us the exact outcome we'd hoped for. And, Kassidy was wonderful in helping to facilitate ongoing communication, requesting and delivering pertinent documents and keeping me abreast of all goings-on during the process. Top-notch firm; Top-notch people! I can't recommend them enough!

Mr. Carter was/is awesome! He was responsive, transparent, professional and always accessible. My case took over 2 years to come full circle and was slightly complicated, being that the person who caused my 4-car pile accident lied about having insurance... but it was a fairly easy feat for Mr. Carter to overcome. He walked me through all my options at every twist and turn, gave lots of feedback, taking the time to explain everything. He even provided additional resources to help me better understand the complexity of my case, my options and what it all meant... more importantly, how it could all come together, or potentially not work totally in my favor. Proud to say and very thankful that with the guidance and representation of Mr. Carter, we won my case and I am pleased with the outcome! And in case you're wondering, though I hope to never be in this position again, I would not hesitate to call him again should I ever need his service in the future. Thank you Mr. Carter!

Farah was the second attorney that I hired to help me with my divorce that involved a spouse out of state. She was definitely worth making the change! While going through a divorce is difficult, I found working with her to be a truly good experience. She kept things on track, included me in the decisions, and consistently sent statements showing how her time was being spent. I found her transparency and communication to be invaluable! She helped me to achieve the results I wanted. I highly recommend Farah Ahmed.

Farah Ahmed is a very capable and efficient lawyer. I chose Ms. Ahmed to handle my divorce because her firm was highly recommended by a friend of mine.
During my first consultation she asked a lot of questions about my situation. She mentioned a few problem areas that she would have to look into, but, at the end, she gave me a good overview of how the case would proceed and how it would end up. Her overview ended up being quite accurate.
Ms. Ahmed is very thorough and organized. She stayed on top of the case throughout, making sure that the necessary documents were supplied by both sides. She does not mess around and gets straight to the point. You shouldn’t expect a lot of chit-chat from her. Nevertheless, she is very pleasant and easy to get along with.
She was able to foresee multiple pitfalls and roadblocks and was able to get around them. Ultimately, she got me to a good resolution. I don’t think that I could have hoped for better.

I had never used a lawyer before, and was going through divorce after 17 years in the relationship. Mark balanced patience and urgency with me during a deeply challenging time. He handled my divorce and custody terms with incredible pragmatism. My emotions were all over the place! When discussing specific options, he was awesome at keeping my mind focused on what I needed in the decree and how to manage going forward. There were a number of more complex terms, and he was intentional in explaining things to me as well as how the language works in these documents. Mark was always responsive, prompt and engaged when we communicated. He had a manner of both literal thinking and compassion, which is a rare mix. I still have his voice in my head sometimes when I lose track, and it has been a few years since my divorce. Hey Mark, thanks for keeping a cool head through my hot mess of a divorce!

My case was complex; while there are many cases out there, mine was not ordinary. I was introduced to Mark by highly-reviewed lawyer from Dallas. Over two years, I collaborated closely with Mark. He is sharp, thinks quickly on his feet, and most crucially, he's seen it all. It was his intelligence, dedication, and vast experience that made all the difference. Thanks to him, we successfully closed the case, ensuring the safety of the relationship between my daughter and me. I told Mark that he was like a guardian and a knight standing by my side, which truly encapsulated the depth of my gratitude. As a young person facing unexpected situations that was overwhelming, Mark was there to listen, taught me invaluable wisdom and helped me make the right choices. I trust him, and I thank God I met him. If this comment resonates with you, reach out to Mark.

I had the pleasure of working with Russell Amsberry from the Amsberry Law Firm for my recent divorce proceedings, and I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism and dedication. From the moment I reached out to the firm, I felt like my case was in good hands.
Russell Amsberry demonstrated a level of care and empathy that truly set him apart. Going through a divorce is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences one can face, but Russell guided me through every step of the process with patience and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns and priorities, and he always made sure I was well-informed about my options.
One of the things I appreciated most about working with Russell was his ability to set realistic expectations. He didn't sugarcoat the situation or make promises he couldn't keep. Instead, he provided honest and straightforward advice, which allowed me to make informed decisions about my case.
Throughout the entire process, Russell Amsberry remained accessible and responsive. He promptly answered my questions and addressed any concerns I had, which helped alleviate much of the stress associated with divorce proceedings.
Thanks to Russell's expertise and guidance, I was able to navigate the complexities of the legal system with confidence. I am incredibly grateful for his support during this difficult time, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate divorce attorney.

Erica was extremely helpful with helping me get my divorce wrapped up and her pricing was reasonable. Do not under any circumstances hire Jon Parchman. He is worthless and a liar. He refuses to answere emails, texts, or phone calls and does nothing than the absolute bare minimum to handle your case. He completely screwed me over after paying him $8000 and refusing to talk to me or even meet with me before trial dates. He passed me off to another attorney he works with and then they both used Covid as an excuse to never leave their houses or take any mettings. Erica was a breath of fresh air and was always available within a reasonable time frame to answer any and all of my questions. I just wish I had know about her from the start and not wasted all that money on that worthless scumbag Jon Parchman who only made my situation worse. After doing some more research online it looks like that is how this lazy, lying POS always does business.

This review is a long time coming. I've worked with and relied on Shannon on three separate occasions over custody disputes of my eldest daughter. On all three occasions she was able to improve my situation and on two of those occasions where my situation was improved, I was on defense where I was the one that got served papers.
I believe that Shannon's prowess as an attorney actually comes from her compassion for her clients. She really does take the time to listen to and understand the unique situations that each case brings and understand and empathize with the situation. She gives her best because she knows what is on the line. She cares for her clients because she takes the time to understand them and their situation.
I owe Shannon a debt that I can never repay, because I owe her my relationship with my daughter.

We had our child via surrogate; however, during the height of covid the number of guests in the hospital was limited. Our gestational carrier agreement was in another state and our child was birth in TX. The hospital couldn't do anything to help us and the birth mother was listed as the mother on the birth certificate. To have this change to my name was a challenge. Shannon fought tooth and nail with the judge. She didn't give up on us. She listened and even asked her colleagues for best approach. She looked for all solutions till we won. I would 100% recommend her firm with no questions asked.

I had consulted with Miss Bernier or legal advice on a divorce. My divorce was not normal by any means. I had to do with a high profile case in twined with my divorce. Because of that, it made it a very lengthy and expensive battle. Mrs. Vernier and her co-council were absolutely amazing. Everyone was willing to do everything they could to help me win my case. On a personal note, she would do everything she could to keep me saying and help me on the emotional side of the case. It was very long and drawn out, but in the end, things ended up in my favor. Vernier and all of her staff have become more like family. They were always willing to do everything they could to see that things were going to end up in the best scenario possible I would not hesitate to hire this firm again for any legal reason .

We are so blessed that we found Simi when looking for an attorney to help us through our surrogacy journey. She was a valuable resource for myself and our gestational carrier. She helped provide information and support that we both needed. The legality of our case was seamless. Not a single issue or concern. She was so much more than just an attorney, she was a supportive friend to us all. I was thrilled that our travels through Texas allowed us to be able to thank her in person. I highly, highly recommend her.

I cannot recommend Simi highly enough! We're intended parents, and Simi was an invaluable resource to us through every step of the surrogacy process. She represented us in our contract negotiations with our surrogate and always provided thoughtful and speedy responses to all of our questions. We felt very confident in her judgement and recommendations because of her extensive knowledge of reproductive law and her experience as a surrogate herself. She is one of the kindest and most genuinely friendly women I've met and you can tell she truly cares about her clients. She is an outstanding lawyer--efficient, knowledgeable, and a true joy to work with!

Karen has been a fantastic resource for us. She is passionate, confident, articulate, knowledgeable, and experienced. Her communication is easy to understand, direct, and prompt. She was not afraid to give us the difficult truths, but also walked us down paths of reasonable solutions. Our engagement with her thus far has been less than a month, and yet she accomplished the limited contracted services quicker than expected. I recommend that you reach out to Karen for foster/ adoptive legal representation to see if she is a good fit for you.

We were in a very challenging spot, taking care of our nephew with major behavioral problems as legal guardians. Doctors advised us to call the state to put our nephew into the state conservatorship so additional facilities would be available to us. When we call, CPS threatened us with legal action, tried to intimidate, and were the opposite of helpful. Greg came through for us in a big way, when we needed it most. He calmed us about how CPS tries to intimidate guardians, advised us on how to prepare for court, and represented us. He was fantastic.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
