In a private adoption, care of a child is transferred directly from the biological parents to the adoptive parents, without intermediary custody going to an agency. I would be happy to ensure that all legal requirements are met during the process of completing your family.

Under certain circumstances, a family member may adopt a child with a less stringent set of requirements. The most common form of intrafamily adoption is stepparent adoption, but any close relation by blood or marriage could qualify you. Contact me to see if you would be eligible.

Divorce and custody proceedings do not have to be difficult or ugly when all of the parties are in agreement on the outcome.

Medical bills can be expensive, even with premium insurance coverage. If your injuries were incurred through no fault of your own, you might be owed a recovery from the liable party.

Mistakes made in the past can come up to cause trouble unexpectedly and derail plans for future stability. For many crimes, whether resulting in an arrest or conviction, expungement and sealing of the record may be available to keep those past mistakes in the past.
