Descendant Intake

Thanks for your interest in securing legal help or advice. Please let me know more about your issue so that I can determine if I can help. I also use this information to determine how best to refer individuals whom I cannot represent (for example, your issue is one involving law in a state outside of Minnesota). I cannot guarantee, however, that I can successfully refer people to an attorney.

Please understand that I consider submission of information on this website form as confidential, but submission of information does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Adoptee Rights Law Center PLLC. As a matter of policy, Adoptee Rights Law Center does not accept a new client without first investigating for possible conflicts of interest and only after we both sign a retainer or engagement agreement.
