The attorney, paralegals, and legal assistants were professional, knowledgeable, patient, and attentive throughout the process. Daria, the paralegal dedicated to my matter, was responsive, thorough, and communicative. She did an outstanding job assembling 11 separate documents totaling more than 80 pages. Kendal guided me through the execution of those documents, meeting with me at the firm's office and carefully explaining each one. She also notarized the documents and coordinated the necessary witnesses to finalize my estate plan. Both Daria and Kendal took the time to answer my questions and ensured that every aspect of the process was handled carefully and competently. Peter Antonoplos, the principal attorney handling my representation, was the consummate professional. He demonstrated exceptional skill and a deep knowledge of estate planning, provided meticulous work, and remained responsive to my many questions throughout the process. I received these legal services through the MetLife Legal Plan, and I could not be more pleased with the quality of the representation. I cannot give this team enough praise and recommend them without reservation.

Since this was our first experience with such a project, it was important for us to work with a firm that both understood the legal complexities of the planning and had regularly worked with same-sex couples. Our first consultation with Mr. Antonopolis was a valuable and informative one that made us feel confident about the undertaking. And we very much appreciated his straightforward personal style. We always felt fully supported, understood, and respected. Over the course of gathering the needed information to create our documents, staff members, particularly paralegal Daria Brovenko, were always ready to guide us through the process and provide answers to questions. And at the final signing, we were happy to meet other staff, all of whom made the closing step of our legal journey one that went smoothly and was filled with their warm congratulations. Having these legal protections in place was important for us, and our very positive experience with Antonoplos & Associates played a significant role in providing that peace of mind. We highly recommend their work.

We had a negative experience with CFC. I have never had to write a negative review for any business…read morebefore, but hope this is useful to other families. We are two dads looking to expand our family. So we hired CFC, Diane was charming, we signed the various documents they provided, and then waited. Very early on, before we even signed with our surrogate, we became alarmed by two issues. 1. We felt the surrogate's behavior would have put the health of our child at risk. And 2. Concern over the quality of the legal work (and weirdly the demeanor) of CFC's lawyer working with us. Our concerns were serious enough that we felt we had no choice but to fire CFC. CFC's agreement that you sign is structured such that you pay only those fees that CFC has "earned". That sounds great. CFC proudly bills this feature on their website. The problem is, CFC has aggressively front-loaded those fees such that even before you sign an agreement with your matched surrogate, CFC claims it has "earned" over 30,000 dollars. This means that once you sign with CFC, even before you sign with your surrogate, CFC can walk away with over 30,000 dollars - no matter how bad a job they do, no matter how careless they are, no matter how unsuitable you discover your matched surrogate is. What value did CFC actually provide? In our case, they generated a partially negotiated contract that nobody signed, and they matched us with a surrogate who we fear was a health risk. Given our negative experience with CFC, we asked for a full refund. Instead, CFC sent back an 8-page termination contract, where they offered to refund a small portion of the fees in exchange for essentially a gag order or NDA where we would be legally blocked indefinitely from ever discussing our experience with CFC. We rejected it. It made us wonder how many other parents have also had negative experiences with CFC, but signed this sort of silence agreement such that parents like us never got to hear the warning signs. We hope this information helps other families decide whether to work with this company, and we wish you the best of luck building your family. PS: This was the second time we worked with CFC. The first time went better, not without some frustration, but certainly not bad enough that we felt we had to complain or fire them. When it was all over, CFC asked us multiple times to post perfect scoring reviews. A few years later, we decided to try for a sibling. When discussing whether to hire CFC again, we decided we were already familiar with their process and "how bad could it be". So we went for it. The rest you can read above. We wish you and other families well, and hope this information is of some use.
