Adoption Attorney in White Plains, NY

Adoption Overview

An Experienced New York Adoption Lawyer
Serving Clients in White Plains and the Hudson Valley

If you have given serious thought to adopting a child, do not take chances by trusting an agency or an inexperienced attorney to protect your interests. The adoption process is too complicated, and a successful outcome is too important. In the long run, in fact, working with an experienced attorney now can prevent unnecessary expenses, delays, worry and heartbreak later.

My name is Andrew Szczesniak. I am an attorney with more than 30 years of experience in the state of New York, and I have handled many different types of adoptions. I have the knowledge and experience to clearly explain the issues and your options concerning adoption. And I have the skills needed to protect your rights while making certain that the adoption process runs smoothly and according to law.

My practice includes:

•  Private adoptions
•  Open adoptions
•  Stepparent adoptions
•  Foster parent adoptions
•  Adoptions for unmarried couples
•  Adoptions for same-sex couples
•  International adoptions

While I take pride in the quality of the legal services I provide for these and other adoptive situations, I also take pride in the quality of the relationships I work to develop with my clients. One result of this is that most of my new clients come to me based on referrals from former clients and attorneys who are former adversaries (on one occasion, the ex-wife of a former client hired me to represent her when she was ready to divorce her second husband).

If you choose to hire me to help you complete an adoption, you will be working directly with me, not a paralegal or junior associate, from now until the finalization hearing (the last step) is over. In between, I will be available to answer any questions you have, address concerns as they arise and clearly explain each step of the process. For example, if a home study is necessary to complete your adoption, I can tell you what you need to do as far as the house goes, and help you prepare for the kinds of questions you are likely to be asked.
