Family Expansion Counseling

When my partner and I decided to become parents, we were flooded with questions, a million places with opinions, and no easy way to walk through it, and I am a lawyer! I know it is a much greater hurdle for those who do not have that advantage.

So, I created Family Expansion Counseling.

This service is for anyone who needs assistance in having children, whether that is because you are a single parent, dealing with issues of infertility, don’t have all the material yourselves, or you wish to go another route than the old fashion way.

Through working with me, we will do a comprehensive walk through of your options and the legal requirements for each.
