We cannot recommend Chrissy enough. From our very first consultation, it was clear that we were working with someone who combines exceptional expertise with genuine care for her clients. Her depth of knowledge in adoption law gave us complete confidence at every stage of the process. Chrissy anticipated challenges before they arose, explained our options clearly, and always had a well-thought-out strategy in place. What truly set her apart was her amazing communication. She kept us informed every step of the way, responded promptly to every question (no matter how small), and explained complex legal details in a way that was easy to understand. We never felt left in the dark or unsure about what was happening. Chrissy’s proactiveness made an enormous difference. She stayed ahead of deadlines, prepared us thoroughly for each milestone, and ensured that every document was accurate and complete. Because of her organization and forward-thinking approach, there were no last-minute surprises—only steady, confident progress. Most importantly, she created a completely stress-free environment for our family. The adoption process can be overwhelming, but she carried the legal burden so gracefully that our only real job was to focus on being parents. We felt supported, protected, and truly cared for throughout the entire journey. If you are looking for an adoption attorney who combines expertise, clear communication, and heartfelt dedication, Attorney Hanisco is simply the best. We are beyond grateful for her guidance and support and will being using her services in the future should we adopt again! Thank you Chrissy from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️
My husband and I retained Christine to help us with a gestational surrogacy. We had been through this process previously and understood that we needed someone that was both compassionate and knowledgeable to guide us through the legal side. We interviewed multiple attorneys and ultimately selected Christine to help. She was excellent Prompt, Smart, Communicative, and a Solution finder. When we hit a snag she was quick to give solid guidance and put our surrogacy back on track. She also recommended and interview attorneys on our behalf when we needed out of state counsel for a pre-birth order. We would recommend Christine 5 stars. Thank you for all you did -Tim & Matt
Working with Chrissy was so easy and effortless. She helped me with my donor embryo contract process, start to finish. She provided me with valuable insights, answered questions I didn't even know I had, and ensured I was satisfied with what was in the contract. I highly recommend her for anyone that needs legal assistance when building their family or wanting to help others build theirs!
Chrissy was amazing in helping me handle my embryo ownership modification during an otherwise stressful and difficult divorce. She guided me thru every step of the way with empathy, compassion, and patience, and was very transparent with her pay structure so that I knew exactly what to expect.
