09 Common Questions

Q02 Can you help if I only speak Russian?
Yes. Our Brooklyn office serves clients entirely in Russian, with the same attorneys handling your case from start to finish.

New York permits compensated gestational surrogacy under state law. We guide intended parents through every legal step, from the surrogacy agreement to establishing parentage.
