- Best Surrogacy Lawyer Ever! - - Elana - 1/26/2019 - flag as inappropriate - comment
When we started our search for a surrogacy lawyer, Amy Eichman came highly recommended and we now know why. Not only is she an exceptional lawyer, she is a kind and caring person who went above and beyond to support us throughout our surrogacy journey. She worked well with our surrogate’s lawyer, negotiating and executing our contract quickly. She was highly responsive to our MANY questions and her skill and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. We had many ups and downs throughout our journey and she was such a huge support. I don’t know how we would have managed without her. At the time of delivery, we experienced some difficulties with the hospital acknowledging all of our parental rights. Our child was premature and we had been told that only I would receive a band, which meant that if our child went into the NICU, my husband would not be able to see her without me present. When we presented our executed birth order to the hospital, which stated that we were both to be banded, we were told that it was the most thorough and clear order the hospital staff had ever seen and consequently, the hospital’s legal team gave us an additional band. We were later told that this was the first time a third band had been issued. (Our surrogate received the other band, as this is the way the hospital tracks the baby.) Even after our daughter was born, Amy worked diligently to obtain her birth certificate. I can’t express how important it is to choose a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable, but is also responsive and compassionate. Amy Eichman is truly an amazing surrogacy lawyer and person.

- ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND AMY EICHMAN from direct and personal experience - - - 10/10/2018 - flag as inappropriate - comment
We are IP's and have worked with a few attorney's, we were unfortunate to have been brought to Amy Eichman through our GS. Her process was painful as an IP, picking apart standard industry template contracts all to drown out our retainer. Using absolutely no consideration that we have no intention on using a bulk of our budget in our surrogacy journey towards legal, but Amy made sure that we would be paying out for it make no mistake. Further, her requests on behalf of the GC were just outrageous, many very seasoned agencies and other attorney's reviewed her remarks and feedback and were shocked at the attempts made to create problems for us all just to bill out her costs. It cost us 1 year of work and a wonderful GC match that collapsed. It would take a Hail Mary for her to bring this back from the dead. Ultimately, she did not respond to emails, call or messages that opposing council sent, it was just extremely frustrating and I would strongly and HIGHLY advise not to use this attorney for any component of fertility litigation, perhaps criminal self defense! Sheesh!!
