We are very grateful to have Mr. Cofsky's help with the adoption of both of our sons. He is well organized, attention to detail and not afraid to fight for our rights. I would say he is one of the best adoption attorneys based on our experience working with several adoption attorneys in different states. I highly recommend him!

TESTIMONIALS

We wanted to adopt our granddaughter and didn't want to pick out just any lawyer due to the delicate nature of the case. After searching for a short time I came across Don and boy, did I land a great lawyer! He was and is the best! You can't go wrong with him, especially when it comes to adoption. He helped us through the adoption process from start to finish. He and his staff were very attentive when it came to any concerns we had. You can't go wrong with Don Cofsky!

Thanks again Don!
