Campbell, Williams, Ference, Nelson and Hall LLC

Initially I had reached out to Derek months before we were placed with a child to understand how the finalization process worked from a legal standpoint. Derek was able to answer all of my questions in an understandable way. Once we had been matched and placed a few months later, we were told Derek was a judge and was no longer practicing. Though we were disappointed, Pam, their paralegal, was spoken so highly of from our friends that we decided to move forward with the firm anyways! During our finalization, we worked with Pam and Dave to finalize our adoption. It was quick, seamless, and easy with their help! I cannot speak more highly of this firm. I'd recommend them indefinitely!

The entire process was smooth, despite some difficult circumstances. We had a very unique adoption situation, which included multiple states, three guardianship conservators, and biological parents who were in jail or hard to find due to substance issues. Derek, Pam, and Dave were all very informative, actively participative, and guided us through every step of the process. With it being a family adoption, there were some pieces that needed to be handled with care, but with their help, we reached a point where we finalized the adoption with little resistance. I would highly recommend this group for any adoption needs.

Derek was amazing! He helped us through our first adoption which happened to be out of state and required extra time and effort to get things right. He was friendly and professional and we would highly recommend him as an adoption lawyer.

Pam, Dave, and Derek were all so helpful to us during our adoption journey. They were quick to respond and provided comfort and expertise on all the questions we had. We’re so glad we chose them to go through this process with us!

When we started looking to adopt years ago, Derek was recommended to me by a few different people. We recently finalized the adoption of our baby girl, and I’m so grateful he was our attorney. He and Pam have been phenomenal in making the process as clear and smooth as possible. They were always quick to respond, providing thorough answers and instructions. Pam is the kindest person alive and a pro at details. Derek’s personal experience with adoption makes him passionate about what he does. He was personable and genuinely concerned about my family, as well as the birth mother- which was important to me. Highly recommend Derek to anyone starting the journey!
