Adoptions

Our adoption attorneys have worked on approximately 100 adoptions and the number continues to grow.

No.  People who are on the Central Registry for Child Abuse and Neglect cannot adopt.  Also, certain felonies and offenses against children can prohibit a person from adopting.

We can do adoptions in any of the 50 states as long as at least the adoptive parents, a birth parent or the child are in Michigan.  However, we can do adoption consultations for anyone in the United States.

That varies depending on the type of adoptions.  Our fees range between $1500 to $8000 depending on the type of adoptions.  All of our fees are flat fees so you don't have to worry about additional legal charges.

It depends.  We have represented birth parents and adoptive parents; however we cannot represent both.

Fifty-four. Eight to argue, one to get a continuance, one to object, one to demur, two to research precedents, one to dictate a letter, one to stipulate, five to turn in their time sheets, two to depose, one to write interrogatories, two to settle, one to order a secretary to change the bulb, and twenty-eight to bill for professional services.
