Shulman Family Law Group is a specialized law firm focused exclusively on adoption, surrogacy, donor agreements, IVF and fertility law. As experienced adoption attorneys and surrogacy lawyers, we represent intended parents, adoptive families, donors, and gestational carriers in building legally secure paths to parenthood. Our work includes drafting and negotiating surrogacy agreements, preparing donor contracts, establishing parentage, advising on clinic agreements, and addressing the legal protections that surround assisted reproduction and family formation. We serve clients throughout the United States and internationally through in-person and virtual consultations.

Family-building through adoption, surrogacy, or IVF is deeply personal, but it is also legally complex. Medical protocols, clinic requirements, surrogate screening, donor arrangements, and shifting timelines all intersect with state and federal law. Fertility law is not a general practice area. It requires direct experience with how adoption law, surrogacy law, and assisted reproductive technology operate in real-world situations. Our firm has worked with hundreds of families and understands that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. We provide clear legal structure, carefully drafted agreements, and proactive planning so clients can move forward with confidence rather than uncertainty.

Adoption Lawyer Services

As an experienced adoption attorney, Shulman Family Law Group represents birth parents, adoptive parents, same-sex parents, and single parents in domestic and international adoption matters. We assist with parental rights, termination of parental rights, agency and independent adoptions, and complex adoption law issues that require careful legal planning.

Whether you are searching for an adoption attorney, an international adoption lawyer, or an attorney for adoption in California, our firm provides comprehensive representation from consultation through finalization. Adoption law is highly technical and emotionally significant, and our role is to ensure every legal step is properly structured and enforceable.

Surrogacy Attorney Services

As a dedicated surrogacy lawyer, we represent intended parents and gestational carriers in private and agency surrogacy arrangements. Our work includes drafting and negotiating surrogacy agreements, advising on surrogate mother requirements, addressing insurance for surrogates, and securing pre-birth or parentage orders under California surrogacy laws.

We handle both gestational and traditional surrogacy matters, compensated and altruistic arrangements, and representation for international clients pursuing surrogacy in California. If you are searching for a surrogacy lawyer, guidance on surrogacy requirements, or clarity regarding surrogate contracts, our firm focuses exclusively on protecting legal parentage and enforceable agreements.

IVF & Fertility Law Services

IVF and fertility law involve complex legal issues that extend beyond medical treatment. We represent individuals and couples using in vitro fertilization (IVF), IUI, egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation, and embryo transfers. Our firm drafts and reviews sperm donor agreements, egg donor contracts, embryo ownership agreements, and clinic-related legal documents to ensure parental rights are legally secured.

For clients researching IVF cost, the IVF process, sperm donor contracts, or fertility lawyers, it is important to understand that assisted reproductive technology requires careful legal structuring. Fertility law protects intended parents before, during, and after medical procedures, ensuring that parentage is clearly established and enforceable under applicable law.
