When choosing an adoption attorney, it is highly recommended to seek out those who are board-certified, as this signifies a proven level of specialized knowledge, experience, and professionalism in the field. When it comes to something as significant as building your family, you deserve the very best legal guidance. At Tate Healey Webster, our practice is entirely devoted to adoption and assisted reproductive technology (ART) law. This singular focus has made us the largest law firm in Florida exclusively dedicated to these areas.
