My favorite area of practice is private, intermediary-assisted infant adoptions.

I have been an attorney practicing in Jacksonville for over 33 years.

I am authorized by Florida State Statutes to place the child and then do all legal work needed to complete the adoption.

There is no charge to birth moms or birth parents for any of my services, and all consultations are done in the strictest of confidence and without obligation.

I am also seeking to add several more sets of prospective adoptive couples for inclusion in my practice.

I am very much in need of potential birth mothers. If you are pregnant and are considering adoption as an option for you and your baby, please feel free to contact me to find out about the process. My goal is to help birth mothers in any way I can with a decision which can be the most difficult, but the most selfless and loving one they will ever make.

If you choose to place through me you will deal with ME --not a secretary, multiple assistants or paralegals---I will be there for you throughout the entire process and sometimes beyond if required. Because there is no agency involved with my placements, and I choose not to take advantage of prospective adoptive parents by charging them astronomical amounts of attorney's fees, or thousands per couple for my advertising expenses-my adoptions are virtually all SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive than most other local or statewide adoptive placements.

I do not charge a "wait list" or "registration fee". I do not charge application fees for prospective adoption opportunities. I do not charge to meet with prospective adoptive parents to answer all their questions, help them prepare their biographies, or prepare for and procure their required home studies.

I have a clinical social worker and as well other home study providers available to help you complete your required home study--if need be, within a very short time frame on an expedited basis.

No infant can be placed in the care of prospective adoptive parents unless and until they have obtained a completed favorable home study.

I can place both in and out of the State of Florida although placements outside of Florida--called "Interstate Compact " adoptions cost a bit more due to the incredible amount of additional time and paperwork required.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO MORTGAGE YOUR HOUSE JUST TO BECOME A PARENT. I strongly suggest that ANYONE interested in adopting in Florida read and familiarize yourself with Chapter 63, the adoption statute in Florida---in addition whenever you are considering hiring a lawyer always check their listings out on sites like Lawyers.com or Avvo.com so you can read client reviews of the attorney's work before you hire them---do your due diligence before ever hiring an attorney for anything!!

Florida law provides for provision of birth related expenses to birth moms from the prospective adoptive couple to help them through their pregnancy and for up to six weeks beyond the birth and placement.

I have a wonderful therapist/life coach/ grief counselor who provides the required emotional assessment and who will be available if a birth parent needs emotional support both prior to the birth, and after placement. If you have any questions about the adoption process whether you are pregnant looking into placing the child with adoption, are looking to place any child of yours into adoption, or are a family wanting to adopt - Please give me a call at my office 904-632-1840. I can answer any additional questions you may have and always return any missed calls received in a timely manner!
