Adoption

Atlanta, Georgia, Area Attorney Who Makes Adoption a Priority

In contrast to family law challenges that often revolve around difficult disputes and can ultimately separate families, adoption is most often an act of unity and love that attorney William P. Churchill has called "the pearl of our law practice."

Our primary focus is on grandparent and other in-family adoptions and stepparent adoptions. Mr. Churchill attends relevant adoption law conferences and stays current on the procedures required for a smooth, efficient adoption experience whenever possible. If it is time for you to move forward in pursuit of a legal adoption, please call us today for a free initial consultation.

Bringing Knowledge, Perspective and Efficiency to Each Adoption

Our attorney's extensive legal background, including years as an administrative law judge (ALJ) and as a certified mediator, is a tremendous asset for anyone seeking to adopt a grandchild, spouse's child, or other relative-whether out of necessity or when opposed by any other party.

  • As is true in all our practice areas, our work with you on an in-family adoption starts with building a mutually comfortable relationship with Mr. Churchill. You can benefit from:
  • The attention of a lawyer who truly listens and takes your views and goals into account
  • A clear, patient explanation of the specific laws applicable to your Georgia stepparent, grandparent or other adoption
  • Sincere, dependable answers to your questions about time frames, likely costs, and other considerations

Trustworthy Counsel and Action through Every Step in the Legal Process

We are experienced in taking adoptions from the legal "complaint" phase all the way through receipt of the decree of adoption, assisting our clients every step of the way. From your filing with the Department of Vital Statistics to registration to a name change and any dealings with the Social Security Administration, we take pride in our full-service approach to adoption.

Our legal knowledge and skill can support your decision to take a positive legal step and legally exercise your rights as a parent, grandparent or other relative who wants the best for a child. Our experience extends across paternity and legitimation cases, custody challenges and child support issues, and a broad range of other family law matters.
