Katrin Haldane
Founding attorney
I explain the fee on the first page because families deserve to know how it works before they call.
Katrin founded the firm after a career in family court, watching good families wait on bills nobody could predict. She sets the fees, reads every petition before it is filed, and takes the stepparent and finalization matters that need a second opinion.
She answers the free call herself when she can, and she is the attorney responsible for this website.
Takes on
- Stepparent adoption
- Adoption finalization
- Parentage orders

What a call with Katrin is like
She asks who is in your family, not what you can afford. Then she tells you which of the four fees fits, and what's on the list of things you will pay someone else.
If your matter isn't one of ours, she says so on the call and tells you what kind of lawyer to look for.
