Janene was referred to me for representation in parentage proceedings when I was a gestational surrogate earlier this year. I could not be more pleased with working with her, and feel so lucky we were referred to her! Not only was she exceedingly personable and kind, but she completed our portion of the documents quickly and professionally. She was very responsive whenever we contacted her or had a question. I would highly recommend her services, and definitely plan to work with her again for my next gestational surrogacy journey.

Janene may be the most fortuitous referral my partner and I could have received while arranging a sperm donor agreement. She was kind, personable and took any angst out of what could be a delicate topic by having a wealth of knowledge about all the ins & outs and questions we didn't know to ask. She maintained our best interests while collaborating with the recipients' representation to come to a quick agreement that we were all happy with. We would recommend her services to anyone seeking legal assistance in matters of reproductive services. Thank you!!

Founding Attorneyread moreI began this practice for one reason: to help grow and protect families.
As a fertility lawyer, Ive helped clients across the U.S. and internationally navigate everything from egg donation, to traditional and gestational surrogacy, to embryo disposition agreements, to confirmatory adoptions. Ive been recognized as one of Maines 40 Under 40 for my work in reproductive rights and family formation, and Ive contributed to landmark legal cases, including a New York Supreme Court decision that was the first of its kind recognizing three legal parents through assisted reproduction.
