"Monica represented our case from our first consultation, through the trial, the appeal process, and finally the stepparent adoption. Monica gave us confidence that our case would be handled competently and professionally. She never lost sight of our goal and how important this case was to us. Hiring Monica to represent uswas truly the best decision we made. We placed the highest trust, that any parent can give, in Monica - the fate of our daughter. Monica has earned our trust for life."

Our Practice

The Basics of Our Practice

At Linkner Law, we will:

  • Carefully explain the legal process you are about to undertake: your rights, available choices, anticipated costs and what to expect at each step.
  • Treat each client with kindness, dignity and respect, offering the opportunity to speak openly without being judged.
  • Maintain strict ethical standards and preserve your confidentiality.
  • Tailor our services to your particular situation, while making sure all legal requirements are met - whether you are seeking to adopt, placing a child for adoption or plan to expand your family through assisted reproductive technology.
  • Answer your questions, even the hard ones. 
  • Refer you to experienced professionals for home studies, counseling, support groups and health care needs.  
  • Coordinate payment of living and other expenses for birthmothers, donors and surrogates/gestational carriers so that only lawful expenses are paid, preventing later challenges to the adoption or surrogacy. 
  • Facilitate post-placement contact between birthparents and adoptive parents, or surrogate/gestational carrier and intended parents, if desired.
